Hey Buddy... Waiting for you to update us on installing the controls!!! I have the same Kayak in Blue!! You're a genius lol! Definitely following and subscribing!!!
Thanks for subscribing. I will get new videos up soon.
With a Minn Kota Endura Max 45 at 12V and CATL LiFePO battery (300AH) you can run wide open for 4.5+ hours. I bet that's better than 20 miles of range for you. With the motor you have you could run wide open for 9+ hours. Awesome project again BTW.
Thank you!! And yes I get 8 good hours of run time with my battery setup I have.
Thanks for sharing. New Subscriber.
I appreciate you watching, if you ever have any questions just ask.
Excellent.
I appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching.
Are you worried about the lag bolts ripping out of kayak?
No they hold extremely well. The luggage style handles that you pick the kayak up with is only held with 4 small screws.
Great video. I see that this video is over two years old. Unless you have changed the mount, how has it held up over the years? Is there anything you would change to the design?
No this mount still holds up great, the only thing I would change from this video is I would use 1/2” HDPE instead of that cutting board. Other than that nothing.
Sweet
Thank you.
Nice video, I have been looking at this Kayak and thinking about getting it and a trolling motor. Do you have the video out on the controls for the trolling motor yet?
This is definitely a Great Kayak. I'm 220 5'10" and I feel more stable on this one than I did on my last cheap A Sundolphin lol. I stand on it but definitely haven't tried rocking it like he does lol.
Yes the video is out.
How did it turn out after cutting it down?
It actually turned out great. I’m still editing the video I will post it soon as I can.
I need advise on how to disengage the foot pads to hook up steering line as you did on your Kayak. Thanks Gary Johnson
There is a lock on the pedals you have to remove the pedal and knock the lock off of it.
@@334tacticaloutdoors so appreciate you prop response. I m not sure just how to remove the pedal. Is there a video on this procedure.?
You have to remove the track the pedal is on that whole assembly comes out together. Where you see the pull slide to adjust the pedal that is attached to the lock it’s about 3” long you have to pop it out. There’s a couple videos on RUclips.
@@334tacticaloutdoors You're the best. I just kept working with it, little stubborn, but it popped off. Yeah. Again I really appreciate all the videos (watched they all) that you have created and they are very helpful. This is all new to me. Thanks. GJ
Yes them locks are a pain, I’m glad you got them out. I appreciate all the support and just let me know if you ever have any questions. Thanks.
I’m getting the same kayak this weekend and was wondering how I would put a motor on it
You’ll definitely enjoy this kayak it’s really well worth the money. I have absolutely no complaints.
@@334tacticaloutdoors I can’t wait to see the rest of your trolling motor video. I will be doing the same thing. Thanks for the videos
Thanks for watching I will have them up soon.
Great video man, I have a question for the parts list. I can't seem to find these items online for some reason. Just wondering what store you got them from and if you have a link for them?
Everything come from Lowes.com

The test is all stainless steel bolts, nuts, washers, and lag bolts.
@@334tacticaloutdoors Thanks man I appreciate it a lot!
@@loganwoody891 you’re welcome!!
You’re welcome.
Did you put nuts on the bolts that went into the kayak??
No the lags I screwed into the kayak are directly screwed in. And yes they hold the trolling motor I lift the rear of the kayak by the trolling motor bracket and I have absolutely no issues.
Hey sir great video I was wondering if you applied any kind of sealent to the boat's going into the kayak
@@jerryjohnson3649 idk if he did but I’d really recommend going and getting silicone caulk! And when you do it just make sure it’s a tight bead
When putting mount on kayak and measure can’t you just put sharpie dot on holes, drill holes then install? Trying to do this over the weekend.
Yes u can mark holes. Whatever works best for u is the way to go.
@@334tacticaloutdoorsThank you, so do I need to drill pilot hole for lag bolts that are mounted on kayak or just drill 1/4 bit and lock em down?
@robertgill8833 yes drill a small pilot hole so the lag bolt will start easier. Don’t drill too big of a hole you want that lag bolt to be tight.
@@334tacticaloutdoors Thanm you sir.
@robertgill8833 you’re welcome.
