Nice setup! Are you worried about it becoming out of level while going along with it that loose? I have had some issues with that mount keeping the transducer level. May see if I can copy this setup though on my Lynx in some form or fashion to give it more stability if i tighten everything down.

Tightening the Ram knob down and and snapping into the roto grip keeps it pretty stationary.

I also have the Amigo I got it off a FB group my wifes nieces husband was selling it so I jumped on the deal. It's a good fishing kayak I fishing up in northern Minnesota with it, I wish you would have been a bit slower going through all of the components you have added on yours, I need that rutter and those tracks I got that they are from Yak Attack. We troll for Walleyes in the lakes up north so this Kayak is not great or even good at that, yeah as mentioned it's kind of slow but I've been in slower ones, the Amigo doesn't track too good in the light wind however that most likely because I don't have the rutter on the boat yet, would I buy another one no because I'll probably never get rid of this one not unless they came out with one just like this that has a peddle drive system on it, I am going to add the yak attack tracks behind the seat and then put a long bolt that slides into the track and then put a 2x4 attached to the tracks then add a trolling motor also going to add anchor trolleys to the sides then this boat will be sweet like Trout Meat!

*_Used once so far and it was a really good experience>_**_allmy.tips/SevylorKayaks?ρ _**_ <The pump worked great for me and even though the paddles have a tendency to come apart, it's ok, since the float and you can just paddle around with the other paddle to retrieve the disconnected one. I may try some thread tape next time. The kayak was very well balanced. I didn't try to make it back into a backpack, but I don't think I would have had a problem if I had._*

@amidd_outdoors
@amidd_outdoors 8 жыл бұрын
Depends on your preference between the open deck like the Diablo has, or a console type cockpit that the Jacksons have. Both are great boats for bigger guys. I'd suggest demoing both. If stability is your main priority, then the Diablo probably has the edge.

They are okay there but maybe not 100% ideal. I get a slight bend in the tip the way I store them, but nothing major. The way the Amigo is molded on the bow, the space is sort of limited. And I didn't want to put them on the sides.

If I had it to do again I would take Nick's advice and reinforce it with a dowel as it is indeed hollow inside. Even if the core eventually rusts, it was $6. So I could have went through about a dozen before I got to the cost of a Park N Pole. That being said, the Park N Pole is pretty solid. I got it as a Christmas gift last year.

Cut the top off about 1 inch and the rod is hollow. 5/8 dowel rod fits perfectly inside and boom it becomes structurally sound. Rebar might work inside too but might make it heavy.
