I appreciate anyone who spends time figuring out the needs for themselves as well as others. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to your next video.
Thank you, I appreciate your support.
Took my new Teton Pro to the lake this weekend using the majority of your setup, thanks for the great ideas. The pulley system really helped raising the motor when I crossed through shallow weeds, the pwm worked great as well. The big thing I need to work through is my foot steering, my pedals do not move smooth, I need to try lubricating the slides. Also, I have some slack in the cables to allow raising the motor up, but when all the way down, the slack makes me push the pedals pretty close to the end. Lastly your suggestions below about running the cables through the yak are exactly how I did mine as well, takes a few minutes a side.
Yes I took some gear oil on my foot pedals to help it slide better. The best way to do the steering cables is have them tight about half way the track when the motor is down that way when u raise the motor the foot pedals will pull all the way to the rear to allow the motor to raise. And I’m glad my ideas have helped you and you enjoy it as much as I do. If I can help in anyway just let me know. Thanks
@@334tacticaloutdoors The trolling motor was deffinetly a game changer, the first trip was paddle only, spent more time paddling than fishing. Really enjoyed the second trip with the motor now. I'll adjust my cables, and try oiling the rails, thanks again.
@@djtrini8371 you’re welcome, thanks for letting know how your setup has turned out.
By performing this change to your TM mount, it looks more permanent than before. Is this correct?
Yes that is correct.
I enjoy watching your videos. I have the same yak, and have used some of your ideas. The only thing I would ask of you is to slow down your dialogue, your speaking a bit fast.
Will do thanks.
I see where you ran the cables, but how did you feed them through the tiny holes and get them to come out of the other tiny hole. Seems like it would be difficult.
Where them small holes I drill are that’s straight into the hull of the kayak there’s no tube in there
How did you get the coated wire through the kayak to the pedal’s?
Remove the flush mount rod holders and take a clothes hanger or stiff rod and tie some small string to it. Run the clothes hanger from the rear hole at the trolling motor to the rod holder hole. Then do the same thing from the hole by the pedal to the rod holder tie the string together then tape the nylon cable to the string and pull it through.
Awesome! Thanks!
@@Bucky993 you’re welcome, if you have any more questions let me know.
I’m curious as to how you got the steering cables fished through the hull. Is there a video with how you did that?
There isn’t a video on how I did that. I removed the flush mount rod holders and used a clothes hanger where I drilled the holes in the rear of the kayak where the cables go into the hull I took the clothes hanger and pulled string to the rod holders. Then from the peddles to the rod holder I did the same thing and used the string to pull my cables through the hull.
@@334tacticaloutdoors ah makes sense! Awesome video, using this as an exact blueprint for my teton pro. Thanks for making my life 10x easier lol
@@dannorthridge4717 glad I could help, I appreciate you watching. If you ever have any questions feel free to ask. Thanks again.

How did you secure your trolling motor bracket to the kayak?

Thanks for the comment here is the video that shows you how I secured it.
Yeah I saw that. We’re those lags in the plastic strong enough. Seems like it is. Did you add any water proofing to the screws before you screwed them in.
Yes I’ve had them in there for 11 months now and that’s how I lift the rear of the kayak is with the motor bracket. There’re stronger than what you would think.
Last question. When you ran the cables for the steering. Do you just drill holes in in those spots that are built in? Is there a tunnel built in to run the cable?
I disagree because the way I have mine I'm able to go straight down but nice set up
We do what works best for ourselves. Thanks for watching.
@@334tacticaloutdoors of course brother you still have a nice setup I'll be here watching
I really appreciate the support. I do have a new kayak I just got through shooting the review of so there’s a lot more to come.
@@334tacticaloutdoors I see man there wasn't alot of mods on this kayak when I bought it. And is nice to see some cool videos of people doing mods because lifetime doesn't even have a specific rudder for the system
I understand and it’s really a nice kayak for the price. I have enjoyed having it and making the upgrades I have
