    Great job, the best I have seen. Only thing I will do different is to use aluminum square tubing. Less weight and won't rust. Thanks

    Just finished building One for my kayak, used aluminum for the mounting bracket. Your right about being stable. Turned out GREAT. Thanks for sharing.

    I would replace those Zip Ties with hose clamps. That way you don't have to worry about those zip ties dry rotting. Great job on this concept. thanks for sharing your brilliant idea,

    I like the counter balance provided by the battery. Good job!

      Nick Willis That would be super nice. There is a way to make one mount to the sliding mounts on the back, I have seen.

    • @nickwillis773
      @nickwillis773 4 года назад +1

      M.E. King definitely a great idea. Make it easier to attach while still being able to use my rod holders

    How did you find the tracking with it on one side...did you need to constantly adjust to stay straight?

    Thank you so much for sharing this. The simplicity of it is perfect. Other videos of people making this are to overcomplicated. I have a lifetime tahoma. Is the hull the same as your tamarac?

      @MrMd5555 3 года назад

      He's got a part 1 to this video where he goes over those details I believe. I think he said it's 30 lbs thrust motor guide. Can't remember the batt series

      Russell Yes sir. I ended up panting the whole mount black. So now it matches the kayak and crate. Looks good 👌🏻

    That’s how I’m setting up my 20lbs thrust motor on my kayak with a metal channel bracket A1200HSPGC I’m using bushings in between so I don’t feel any vibration ! But I haven’t found a good small Deep Cycle battery that will fit in the back that’s not super heavy but lasts more than 5 hours .. If you know of any good batteries please share !! Thanks fish on 🎣

    Did it steer straight or was the front pointing to one side or the other?

    • @MatthewkingNC
      @MatthewkingNC  4 года назад

      doncrist2012 steered straight. Worked like a charm

  • @Kylefishgerald
    @Kylefishgerald 2 года назад

    Do you still use this? I want to do it but worried about balance. I’m doing a seat upgrade to sit a little higher, (I have a bad back) I’m also 210 pounds. So worried about sitting higher and adding even more weight
