    Noticed no scupper wholes ? I don't have a Hobie but a Atak 140 , transom motor , foot steering , 34 wide , no pedal , I can appreciate your open deck. My thoughts , if I was too get a pedal drive , plus motor , I am giving up open flat deck , Perfect for this 76 kid too move around , retrieve items from behind me , You do nice clean work ,
    Clean garage . Next motor will be a Newport NK

    Solid setup! Couple things from my experience with livescope. Take the GLS10 black box off of the yak power switch. I noticed I would have a voltage drop from the switch compared to the battery. My livescope picture got much clearer running off its own power wire. Also you will need a bigger battery to power up your graphs, livescope and accessories for a 8 hour day.

    Nice build! I'm considering adding on a NK300 in addition to already having the Xi3 to my PA14. How did the additional weight of both the battery and NK units effect the balance of the kayak? Your setup from a motor and battery perspective will be similar to what mine would be. Thanks!

    @robswoodsandcustomsawmilli9940 4 месяца назад +1

    I think you had the xi3 footpedal on there before I have one for mine I use that alot. When fishing need some kind of foot steering its a pain with the remote when your working a bank. Or the wind is blowing your constantly making minor adjustments

    I would like to ask you how did you attach your central hatch battery? I want to place there my Garmin power battery (25Am). Do you use any battery mount or tray?? I just bought my PA14. Thanks for all the things you just teach to me. 😊👍 sorry for my English I try hard!! 😅

    @rodneyhart1826 4 месяца назад +1

    Great walkthrough. I have the NK300 and looking to get it mounted. When you mounted the NK300 throttle control to the Ketch mounting plate, did you have to pre-drill holes in it to the pattern on the throttle bottom in order to mount it to the Ketch plate? Also, I don't want to drill holes in my kayak and thinking about going with the TP foot control. Have you tested the TP foot control steering? If so, which TP steering option would you suggest? I have a PA 14 360 as well.

    • @KayakUSA1
      @KayakUSA1  4 месяца назад +1

      I added holes to the bottom of my NK300 throttle plate to match the holes in my ketch plate. As for the steering, I’ve had both and I prefer hand steering over foot steering. I like a clean open floor area. 👊🏼

  • @jimmiedvorak7257
    @jimmiedvorak7257 4 месяца назад +1

    Great video once again And very nice setup. One question, in the video you posted installing all of your Ketch Products. You said the reason you changed your graph setup was because it moved a lot. I was hoping you would show how solid the new Ketch cross bar was. Has the new Jake plates and cross bar improved this? I have the same issue with my current setup.

  • @Osprey1955
    @Osprey1955 4 месяца назад +2

    Nice set up. I have a similar arrangement on my PA12. I do believe however that you will need a larger battery for your graphs and Livescope black box. Together they draw 5 amps so you’ll only get about 4 1/2 hours of run time with the 23 ah battery. I have a 54 ah and it fits nicely in the center hatch where you’ve got yours. I also had a kill switch installed for my LVS34 which will allow me to turn it off when not in use.

  • @jeffreyau1286
    @jeffreyau1286 4 месяца назад +1

    Very nice setup here. My question is do you leave everything ( xi3, graphs, Newport motor, blackpak….on the kayak when u trailering on the road. Or u just set everything up when u arrive the shore? Cause It would be a nightmare if u set everything up by the time u arrive and take all out from the boat and put it back to the car when u r done from fishing 🥺

    • @KayakUSA1

      Yep, finally got out testing my 2 - 12" Garmin graphs. I had them on 1 -12V 50AMP and its a no go if you want both graphs on, which I do. Looking for suggestions. One graph is totally dedicated to Live Scope (GLS-10 black box w/ LVS34 ) and other graph is with GT-56 Transducer and Garmin Steady Cast) . I think I need to dedicate a battery per each graph??
