    I did the same thing to my dewalt box. The one that the drawer system snaps onto. I have a smaller battery but it worked really well and I still have room for tackle. Love videos like this.

    I've been debating doing this with my Engle. Academy has a Magellan brand that's similar for 50 bucks.

    It would be great to see the upgrade to your filming pole for the GoPro. I made a couple from your video. Awesome battery box! Greg

    have you ever done a battery box with Anderson style or quick connect ports instead of connecting everything to studs / posts? My battery box has Anderson inputs and I have a choice of converting my wires (trolling motor, fish finder, etc) to Anderson style or starting over with a stud style terminals.

    Another epic DIY vid bro. Always love these vids. I love my 120, mirage drive, and all my accessories. I just added the new PP-768 J2 Bixpy to my rudder system. You're a perfectionist like myself. I'm purchasing my Harbor freight trailer soon for my kayak. That'll be a winter project. So I'll have your vids, for many ideas. 💯 🎣 🌊

    I saw one of your videos where you built a kayak cart on caster wheels, I’m gonna try and repeat one for my AP120, let’s see how that one comes out. On your video I saw that to had a Guardian Angel light in the front. How is the magnet being held to the kayak? If I have to I will but I’d prefer not to drill into it. Thank yiu

      Thanks, I think it’s just packing foam. I got it from work. 😂

    Hello. What is the lightest 12V battery to power an electric motor on a kayak?

    If you find your chicks wasting feed by spreading it around in the pine shavings you can add water to it. I found a quart of water to one of the long feeders worked about right. Chicks went through less water doing this. 🐥

    Do you have any info on running the cable through your camera pole? I just scoured your videos looking for it and don't see anything. Looks like this is the first video with it like that.

    Do those batteries not get warm when you use them? Because I’d be worried about it overheating since it’s completely encased and there’s no ventilation

    • @KayakUSA1
      @KayakUSA1  Год назад +2

      No, they do not. You can completely seal off a lithium battery.

    And yes, I plan on building something like this for my kayak when it arrives. I have the Dakota Lithium 10 amp 12 V battery. I am not running a motor, just the Lowrance Elite 9 Ti, and two GoPro HERO 11 Black cameras. BTW, what GoPro are you running? I have tried to connect my Hero 11 Black to external power but it keeps shutting down with no battery in the camera... is there a setting that I am missing? Your help would be GREATLY appreciated..... Thanks in advance!!!!

    • @KayakUSA1
      @KayakUSA1  Год назад +1

      GoPro hero 10, you have to remove the battery if you plan to keep it plugged into a power source . 👍🏼

    I’m at a loss in finding a buyable battery box designed for lithium ion batteries I purchased a Newport smart box, but after it got here it says it’s not designed for lithium batteries. Where can I find a box? Any help would
    Be awesome.

    Crazy lol While I understand the appeal of transforming a kayak into a makeshift bass boat for added convenience and comfort, I must respectfully disagree with the concept. Kayak fishing, for me, is about embracing the primal allure of the sport and seeking out those elusive, hard-to-reach fishing spots that traditional bass boats simply can't access. There's a certain magic in paddling quietly through serene waters, feeling intimately connected to nature, and relying on skill and intuition rather than modern amenities. It's the thrill of the hunt, the challenge of the chase, and the satisfaction of landing a prized catch against the odds. In essence, kayak fishing is about returning to our roots and experiencing the purest form of angling.

    I'd like to see you guys building these boxes validate them by submerging them in a trashcan full of water. I DARE YOU!
