Great video! One question though (maybe I missed something) what did you use to release the motor lock?
@markjstoneful5 ай бұрын
Hello, I believe you are wondering about tilting the motor and how I released that. I used a rod and bent it. Drilled a hole in it and put a key ring through the hole. I attached rope so I could pull it from the seat. This has not worked well for me at all. I will be changing this design in the late spring and will post a short video of this.

Why not ditch the half of the steering bolt attachment that does not have the bolt and just bolt the two halves with the bolts together? That way the bolts are at the same level and not staggered. Just an idea.
@markjstoneful Жыл бұрын
That would also work. You would just need to buy 2 nuts as the side that has the bolt is not threaded just the other half is.

I find it moves quickly and easily. Slight movements of my feet make good direction changes. Also switching forward and reverse. To hold in one spot I would suggest an anchor

Any thoughts after the test on water or after regular use? Great video by the way. I saw another mounting video where the guy ran the two cables into the same I bolt mounted on the motor. Bringing them close helped increase turning.
@markjstoneful Жыл бұрын
Great question! I find it a bit tricky to unlock the motor to tilt it. I have to pull on that rope at just the right angle. Now that I know that it's not bad. That could be the way I bent that rod. To the battery box I did add remote battery charging posts so that I don't need to take the cover off the box. I also added a battery level meter. However my fish finder also shows the voltage. Before I did this project I did see the video on how the two cables were run together but I find the turning with this set up is fine. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for posting this video. I like the "Sea-Lect Designs Kayak Recreational Footbrace w/ Rudder Control" you choose. Being that is it on a rail it looks like it has a good range for the feet placement? Meaning, it looks like the foot pedals could be much closer to the seat or they could be really far away towards the bow. This would be a good setup for shorter and taller folks allowing them to adjust for their size.
@markjstoneful Жыл бұрын
After using that style rudder control I was surprised at how much it can be adjusted. Even after the cables are in place the foot pegs have lots of spots to position them. If you share your kayak with others they will have plenty of room to move them for their comfort. Thank you for watching!

Great job on that Setup. I have a my Impulse 10.5 which measures actually 10.9' I love my hand steering with the blade rudder. I run the NK-180 motor, with a my fin drive. But I added foot braces incase, I ever want to change my motor to steer, with the foot pedals. Plus I can rest my feet on long runs. I used the scotty well nuts. I like the rubber seal, and how it expads behind the screw. But rivets are strong. It may be the pedal track, making it loose. Cool vessel there 😎 🎣 🙏

Nice hatch installI, and trolling motor DIY.. I have my 2021' Hoodoo Impulse 10.5. It has the rear hatch, for my rudder, and power pole or electric motor, accesss. Bow hatch that opens for more storage. But I did add a 12" round hatch behind my seat for access to my hull. But I would definitely spray that complete hatch black. And I added window trim and water proof silicone, to all my hatches. Have never had a drop of water, in my hull or hatches. Good luck bro. 🙏 😎 🎣

The shaft on your motor is leaning forward when producing thrust. This needs to be adjusted so that the shaft leans slightly aft when static and not producing thrust. When adjusted this way, the shaft should be vertical when making thrust and not leaning so far forward as you have it now.

That is correct I noticed that day when I got back to shore that I made that mistake by not locking it in the correct spot.

I was also trying to look at ways to run the cables through the inside. My concerns were that they might have a few spots that they would have been rubbing and I would not be able to see it and where I would bring them up through deck near the foot controls might have been kind of in the way. I was also trying to keep the walking area in front of the seat a clear as possible for standing and walking. I defiantly plan on doing a video as soon I get out on the water!

Thank you for watching and picking up on the install of the well nuts. I did the install according to the manufactures instructions. I also noticed that it is not the normal way they would be installed. I believe they instructed them to be installed like this because where the holes in the kayak need to be drilled that area is to narrow for the holes to be drilled big enough. The cutting board can be found on many different websites. I just did a Google search and started shopping
