I recently bought an Ascend 128x and have been on youtube for days finding ideas for kayaking. I think I found exactly the idea I needed. I ordered the pieces on Amazon and I'm going to get to work when they arrive. Thank you for posting this video.
WooooW!!! This setup is the bees knees. At first I was skipping through on what you built for raising the motor as I thought I wouldn’t need it. But then watching the end of the clip and how you can glide up to shore without the motor hitting anything, that was cool.
that's a solid and well built setup. One thing I saw you could do is put your anchor spool through the two seat legs with a cord going through the middle of a cord/bungee/paracord running between your driver side front and back seat legs. Now you just need boat lights so you can get out before the crack of dawn.
Here is a tip that will make cutting aluminium a breeze unsented bath soap bar, rub it along your cut line and blade a bit like waxing a surf board whitch works better but is harder to get off it will amaze you, the difference in cutting speed and finish works on grinding tools just apply onto the disc
I appreciate that thank you! After all the upgrades battery trolling motor and mounting plate wires etc it added about 75 pounds or so. This kayak though is rated up to 400 pounds so it still has over 100 pounds worth of carrion capability allowing me to pack enough gear for a multi day trip.
@@gettingoutdoors256 agreed. I have the same h10 and have never had a better work horse fishing kayak. I’m in process of doing a rear mount. Your videos have been the best help I’ve found. Awesome content
I’ve gotten well over 100 hours so far of use with no issues as of yet. Going on my third year without having to change out or replace anything. I did add front and back navigation lights along with a bilge pump but other than that though everything has been working excellent.
I just rigged up lights bilge pump and skid plates in my last video for it. I chose the H10 over the H12 because It’s easier to load up into my truck and I really didn’t need something so long. Most canoes that are 12 feet long are designed for two people I found the H12 to be very slow and hard to steer as well so that’s why I went with this one over the H12.
I appreciate that thank you. I was thinking about making them for sale but after purchasing the aluminum plate plus time and money for blades. It just wouldn’t be worth it unless I had a machine that could cut them out quickly.
The one in this video is the 55 pound thrust I also have the 35 pound thrust as well. With the 55 pound thrust you can turn corners and you have a lot more steering control and power it’s at least 3 miles an hour faster than a 35 pound thrust but you lose juice pretty quickly only getting about four hours on the water with a 35 pound thrust however I get about seven hours of constant use out of it before having to retreat back to the boat launch
what do the lbs mean. when getting a trolling motor. im 300 an got the h12 ascend. an wanna add the same thing you did brotha. dope af. bit womder what size poumd motor im need for mine. or w.e that means. thanks
The trolling motor I have in this video is the Newport Vessels Kayak Series 55 pound thrust but it’s heavy and eats up the battery like crazy! This year I went with the 36 pound thrust and it’s a little slower but you can fish all day instead of just a couple hours. I can get about 6 to 7 miles on the 36 pound thrust versus 2 to three miles on the 55 pound. However it does go a little faster and can handle river Currents a little better but I’m finding the Newport Vessels 36lb to be the better option.
@@trout_spankn_dominoeacosta6914 No that’s something that I built. If you go to my channel I have a walk-through video showing step-by-step in how I built it and what you’ll need.
@@gettingoutdoors256 yea sorry for bothering you g. like i said im really slow g an dont understand. smh. our childhood right. lol but yea. just would like to know how that bx came about. or what is it. thanks g
It was a foam puzzle exercise mat ½ inch think. I used it to get the aluminum plate to sit evenly on the Kayak. And it definitely helped out a lot to reduce vibrations too

👍 I appreciate that thank you! Please hit me up if you run into any problem’s, I’d be happy to help.
@@gettingoutdoors256 ok, thank you.

Brilliant job my friend love this setup as you know.
Your setup is so mint! It looks awesome and is simpler than some. Just a great design. 👍
Much appreciated amigo thank you!
I appreciate it thank you!
Nice job!!! I just hang my minn kota 30 off the side, behind the seat.... love my H10
Awesome stuff! I just motorized my H12 for this year. I really like your control remote for your PWM. Now I gotta find me an Ethernet cable. Lol
Do you have a video or any pictures? I just bought a h12 and want to put a trolling motor on like this
@@SUMDUDE. I do have an overview video on my channel if you’d like to check it out!

Very nice setup looking to do the same thing glad you did the video it helps me out.
That’s the way to go. Fuck the paddle
Thats a killer set up man! Wish I could just order a kit with instructions. Maybe a money making idea for ya 😉
Wow nice work bud 👍👍
any chance for a full parts list for this? sweet setup
Have looked and looked for that particular V Force steering bracket with no luck. Maybe it is no longer made?
I’m thinking you may be right. Can’t find it any more myself.
Wow! I'm very impressed. Wondering how much it weight in total after all upgrades you made. Well done.
I appreciate that thank you! After all the upgrades battery trolling motor and mounting plate wires etc it added about 75 pounds or so. This kayak though is rated up to 400 pounds so it still has over 100 pounds worth of carrion capability allowing me to pack enough gear for a multi day trip.

@@JoeMaxFpv Thanks amigo! If you have any questions with your build let me know I’m happy to help!
Great Video. Have you had any issues with this PWM? How many hours have used this set? Thanks.
I’ve gotten well over 100 hours so far of use with no issues as of yet. Going on my third year without having to change out or replace anything. I did add front and back navigation lights along with a bilge pump but other than that though everything has been working excellent.
Maybe add running lights for night fishing?
Question: Why the H10 instead of the H12?
I just rigged up lights bilge pump and skid plates in my last video for it. I chose the H10 over the H12 because It’s easier to load up into my truck and I really didn’t need something so long. Most canoes that are 12 feet long are designed for two people I found the H12 to be very slow and hard to steer as well so that’s why I went with this one over the H12.
What's the accessory you used to hold the anchor line?
Amazing set up! can you make the aluminum plate for sale?
I appreciate that thank you. I was thinking about making them for sale but after purchasing the aluminum plate plus time and money for blades. It just wouldn’t be worth it unless I had a machine that could cut them out quickly.
@@gettingoutdoors256 where did you order the aluminum plate from?
Can you do a parts list please?
Any chance you can tell me where you got the metal plate
Nice job nice set up what (lbs) trust is you motor 55 ?
The one in this video is the 55 pound thrust I also have the 35 pound thrust as well. With the 55 pound thrust you can turn corners and you have a lot more steering control and power it’s at least 3 miles an hour faster than a 35 pound thrust but you lose juice pretty quickly only getting about four hours on the water with a 35 pound thrust however I get about seven hours of constant use out of it before having to retreat back to the boat launch
Sweet set up,
What size (thrust) motor did you go with?
fantastic♡~🏅

What kind of trolling motor is that?

What did you put between the bracket and the kayak
It was a foam puzzle exercise mat ½ inch think. I used it to get the aluminum plate to sit evenly on the Kayak. And it definitely helped out a lot to reduce vibrations too
@@gettingoutdoors256 thanks, I'm gonna make one like that for mine when I get some free time
Thumbs down for the 1.5 minute crappy intro.
