Awesome bro, what are yo using for your flotation?
@moses_3109 Жыл бұрын
Just 2 inflatable boat bumpers. Worked really well when I had it.

Really like your idea I went and picked up the square tubing to make mine only difference is I'll be using two of those bumpers for each side. Thanks for you're videos.
@stanmurdoch21102 жыл бұрын
Your use of the square tube is best idea around. I added bicycle tires to replace the floats for portage

How much drag does it create, does it interfere with paddling

Hek yea it's a really good starter kayak. I'm sure you will love it. Wish I had some water footage of if but didnt get non

Nice setup. Since it's necessary to drill a hole in the pvc to stop it from rotating I think I will sand down the pvc enough that it rotates in the square tubing to stow the floats in an up position and secure with a pin instead of bolt & nut. Thank you for the detailed explanation of a simple and inexpensive outrigger.
@axelfroment48715 жыл бұрын
Don’t worry, they will work just fine, if the outrigger is not aerodynamic like yours it’s better they stay a little above the water so you have no drag when you’re paddling. And if the kayak gets tipsy they will do the work just fine. Anyway if you put a little electrical motor it doesn’t matter.

Do you have a video of it in the water? It would be awesome to check it out in action.

I wish I did man I ended up selling it once I was done I did take it out several times to the local lake but never took any good videos of it but man it sure was stable. I could stand no problem

@ahuertas695 жыл бұрын
The design is nice but it looks like you used 3/4" pvc. Not good. Use 1". 3/4" is not as strong & has a thinner side wall which means with a good tilt it's eventually going to break.

@billderinbaja38836 жыл бұрын
Hey AllThings, this is a very clever, sturdy looking solution for a retractable stabilizer. I see your comment below that you had to make a mod to these to make them work. I would really appreciate seeing them in action... do you have any video of you using them on the water? One big concern I have is if they will impact the speed of the boat... do they drag in the water when you are paddling?
@moses_31096 жыл бұрын
Billder Inbaja sorry I sold my kayak before I could get a video of it being in the water. When I took it out it did not drag or slow the kayak down. I didn't have them extended while I paddled. I only extended the stabilizers when I would stand to fish or would paddle while standing.
@billderinbaja38836 жыл бұрын
Thanks for your speedy reply, very kind of you. It's good to know the design worked. I am thinking of trying a hinged design, which would very easily swing up out of the way... I have a buddy who is a good TIG welder. Are you still kayaking? What do you have now? I just purchased a Cobra Tourer (old but always stored in a garage so plastic is in good shape)... should be fast in the water, but not stable enough for stand-up fishing... we shall see. My main activity is spearfishing, hope to be able to dive without outriggers.

Billder Inbaja I currently do not have a kayak just a 12 foot aluminum boat I mainly use to salmon fish. I'm thinking about buying another kayak In the near future. Not sure what kind yet but I'm sure I will want to modify it hahaha. I need to post more videos now that I have a gopro. Those videos of my kayak were from my phone

DIY IS ALWAYS TRIAL AND ERROR. Great job, I used plastic electrical conduit pvc and crab floats. 4 revisions and I love them,up to paddle,down to stand or use the real tree $14 fold up seat I modified to sit higher. Still very stable either way😊. Yakin bout Yakin.

Very nice design. Simple and cost effective... I just finished modifying my Tamarack (same as the one you have) with a double-stacked milk crate configuration over the back hatch, lower crate for deep cycle marine battery, top crate for small ice-chest. Mounted a trolling motor on the front and put some steering cable to near where the side handles are. Also added a better seat and an anchor system. I also built a 4x4 harbor freight trailer into a double-kayak trailer with a little (OK A LOT) of handy-work. Guess what I am trying to say is....what you did in this video will be my next project lol : P

Shawn Guidry awesome you have any videos on your mods? I've been meaning to put another video up my outriggers did not even touch the water. lol had to put a 90 degree elbow on to lower the boat fender into the water. all post a new video soon I tested it the other day and wow they work great. I was able to paddle standing up for a long time without worrying about Falling in lol

where did you try to mount the motor? I was thinking of mounting a plate to the stabilizer and mounting the trolley motor too that but I'm not sure if I Want to or not.
