Kayak Tiller Steering set up

[@janoko3947]

Very nice !!

[@davidbergewaytogo]

Great idea! Sounds much simpler than a complex pulley systems with eyelets and stuff all over the sides of the kayak...

[@RiverSmallmouthAdventures]

Thank you! It has worked great for 3 years so far!

I like the fact that there are no cables on the deck. Keeping things simple...but effective ❤

[@RiverSmallmouthAdventures]

Yes, it works really well!

Another nice build.

[@RiverSmallmouthAdventures]

Much Appreciated! Thanks!

Good job

[@RiverSmallmouthAdventures]

TYVM! I can't afford off the shelf things so I have to improvise!

[@hojodo]

I like your concept. Connect rod to hand lever for steering.

[@RiverSmallmouthAdventures]

My legs are too long to use pedal steering!

I have a Vibe Sea Ghost 110 with a DIY side mounted mount. Not happy with this and would like to mount it in back like yours. YakGadget has the mounts, but I was wondering how you turn the trolling motor on and off when your so far in front of it. Steering I can rig myself. Also do you have a way to lift the motor up out of the water if need be? Thanks! Nice rig you have there!

Watch my other video of the tm. Set up. I built a pwm set up to have the controls beside me.

[@rodbell4222]

Whew did you buy the orange fitting at that screws to the painters pole?

[@RiverSmallmouthAdventures]

It actually came off a sanding pad I had laying around the house that attached to the pole. It later broke so I bought a cheap paint roller and cut the roller off and bent it so it is permanently attached to the eye bolt on the tm. Arm.

Thats how you do it brother/

[@RiverSmallmouthAdventures]

Tyvm!

[@JonR35]

Where is the controller?

[@RiverSmallmouthAdventures]

It's beside my seat. You can see it in one of my other videos.
