Thanks for the video. One pro tip I found was that you don't need to bother crimping or taping the wire to the rope to pull through. The steering guides go all the way through. I just pulled the rope out and pushed the wire through with no issues.
Awesome, I was wondering how to change the cords on the rudder. They are fine right now but sooner or later they are going to break, so it seems like a good idea to replace them before they do. I have a Pryml Titan but this looks like it will work the same way.
Awesome video man. Going to do this to my sg130 soon. That was going to be my project for this year since last year was my fish finder install. You earned a new sub!
Unfortunately, I could not find it at my local bass pro/home depot so I had to buy on amazon. Real cheap stuff tho. I linked them in the description for ya.
All I did was thread the nylon coated wire along the original rudder control line....very easy and no need to crimp the lines together.....after I pushed the wire all the way through I then continued with the rest of the process.
This should help the rudder work properly? I recently bought a used sea ghost 110 and it seems you have to really push the pedals to get the rudder to barley move. This is a great idea using the coated cable vs the robe it comes with. Thanks and keep up the good work 🤘🤘🤘
Why replace the nearly unbreakable paracord with a steel cable that will undoubtedly rust and break over time? I've replaced stainless lines twice and going to a braided line is an upgrade lol. Never going back to cables.
I used Jagwire Slick MTB brake cables with lined housings for my first build. 10 years and they were still holding up well. Definitely don’t skimp on the cables. My new setup is with 500lb test zero stretch monoline, see how it holds up.
Pete's Fishing Adventures You’re welcome, hope it helped. And nice purchase! I have stood up on it in calmer waters and it’s plenty stable for me when casting and rippin lips (I’m 5’9” 180lbs). It’s a bit tricky to get up and down at first, but just takes some getting used to
@@PureFishermenTV I found this. PTFE’s low friction lends itself to plain bearings, gears, slide plates, and other applications with sliding action of parts, outperforming both acetal and nylon in these functions. PTFE makes longer-lasting, higher-performance parts that reduce friction, wear, and energy consumption of machinery, lower maintenance costs, and increase the lifetime of both parts and machinery. Due to its high temperature rating and extreme non-reactivity, PTFE is often used as containers, expansion joints, liners in hose assemblies, industrial pipelines, and other applications involving corrosive and reactive chemicals. It's also hydrophobic where's nylon collect some water and lose strength over time.
@@PureFishermenTV I think it would work. It's very wear resistant and flexible enough. When my 3d printer filament rub against regular plastic it wears down fast. With pfte I don't notice wear at all.
@@PureFishermenTV haha maybe! It's funny though cause I tried doing something similar to this on my old one and botched the hell out of it, would of been nice to have seen this then lol

Thanks for the info! You are right and I noticed this after the fact lol
Great little idea using the wire leader that's coated
Just bought my first sea ghost this weekend, definitely doing this first!
Awesome! 😎
Just did this to mine all because of your video! Thanks man!!!
That’s great to hear dude! Enjoy 😊

Thanks for watching Dom :) Hope I could help! Let me know how it went after you do the install
@@PureFishermenTV will do man, also did you get all of those things (berkley stuff) from a home depot or something similar?

Nice. Good to know that works too. At the time I just thought I’d use the extra crimps.
I get lucky now and then!

Yes it does! It feels way more responsive this way.
Where's the best place to buy that nylon wire ? Amazon worth it?

So what are the odds these cables SAW through the plastic on the kayak? vs using 550 paracord to make new lines?
Only thing I'd worry about with putting a metal wire there is that it's rubbing on the plastic where it attaches to the rudder.
Thanks for the video. I just bought this kayak myself. Have you tried standing in it? just curies how stable it is.

Great and simple video. Did you also replace your rudder deployment cable?
thanks. I thought about it, but then decided not to because my hand would be grabbing that, so I stuck with the original bungee cable
Vinnie G. I have a 2016 sg and it’s the same small paracord that’s used for the rudder. Vibe must use a different stick cord now.
Yeah that’s a possibility. Mine is a 2018 so I have no idea what they are doing on the newest release
Have you had any issues with the steel wire cutting into the kayak?
No I haven’t. The coating on the wire has protected it, but I could see that coating begin to ware off in another year or so
Can 3d printer 4mm ptfe bowden tubes be used for rudder cable tubes. Inside diameter i 2mm.
I have no idea what that is so I can’t say it would work or not, sorry.

Based on that description it sounds like it would work!

I see. Well if you end up using that instead let me know how it works!
Dont have a yak anymore so this information is useless to me. But I still loved it! 😁👍
well maybe youll get back in the yak game one day!
