Some kayakers do, but they interfere with the Maneuverability of the kayak.

@@334tacticaloutdoors If you are in a kayak race, I understand. But if you are fishing, stability should be more desirable.

A kayak already has great stability as long as you’re buying the right fishing kayak. But most of us get a kayak to fish the areas boats can’t go. Like I said some people add the outriggers but, myself I have no desire or reason to add them.

Thank you, I really appreciate it.

It weighs 125lbs.

The silver piece of the handle that connects to the switch should have a small screw in it. And yes that switch is almost the same in all 30lb motors.

@@334tacticaloutdoors I was given this trolling motor off the boat and the guy took it apart when we got back to his house and tore it apart and that is where the piece(s) started missing. The switch quit working so that is why i started asking questions. I want to fix this and mount it on the back of my boat. Where do you order your switches at?

You would come out cheaper hooking it up to a PWM and connecting a handle for steering. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJWkZ2SFnZaCn68si=vT9w83HdFnLyIFTq

@@334tacticaloutdoors watched that but are you putting the handle back on the pipe for steering? Or do you have something else to put in it’s pkace

@rickwilson2848 you can make any handle. You can attach it by drilling a hole and putting a bolt through it.

Thank you.

You would need to know the amp draw that motor has to see if the 100 amp PWM would work, but yes with the correct amps it would work.

Yea it hurts to see there size then loose them.

Yes it is.

Thank you.

That’s the main reason to keep it short and out the way when casting, and when u stow It it’s not all the way back into your deck space hitting your drypod. 36” is the normal length for a kayak. Thanks for watching my videos it’s good to hear they are helping out.

Yes it is, to me it’s a lot better.

@@AlleyCatPro24 it was 2” x 1/4” Allen head bolts to mount the bow plate down.

Everything I did to rig this is uploaded on my channel here and I covered how it was done.

@@334tacticaloutdoors ty for responding your the goat dope vid

You’re welcome

@@4bhuggins821 I fed wire through the flex tube and taped it to the cord then pulled the cord back through.

Quick reply! This is the best Xi3 deploy video I’ve seen and I’ve watched many!

Did you install the tubing first into the hull and then feed the cord through using the wire?

@4bhuggins821 yes the flex pipe was installed first cause I had to flare the ends of the flex pipe.

Thank you!! I really appreciate to hear great feedback.

One objective has a really great trolling motor mount, but where it comes back it screws into the screw inserts which to me just isn’t enough. The Bonafide plate you actually do drill a hole and insert a small backing spacer that adds security to me. They are both great options.

I appreciate the kind feedback. That is what my channel is for helping guys achieve the setup they want.

8awg is best from the battery to the PWM and also from the PWM to the trolling motor.

All you can do is measure the inside of the hull from where u install the deck plate to the very front of the bow. Then you can get the measurement on top of the bow the biggest thing don’t get to close to the very front of the bow, make sure you have room to get bolts through and the washer and nuts on. Just get close as you can it doesn’t have to be perfect.

The difference is night and day being honest. I absolutely love my outlaw, but the dislikes was no storage unless I added it harder to add my Motorguide xi3 bow mount trolling motor and it was only 11’ 5” long. The SS127 has plenty of storage much easier to rig easier to mount a bow mount trolling motor it’s 12’ 7” long. Now likes both are super stable, both look incredible when rigged out. The perception is cheaper and is a really great kayak, but the ss127 is a lot better kayak in my opinion.

Thank you for the very kind feedback. It means a lot knowing my video helps and is easy to follow.

Thank you for the kind feedback. It’s greatly appreciated.

Well I hope it came in handy you when found it. I appreciate you watching and you’re welcome.

It does really well on a lake, the bow design breaks waves very well it’s about like a Jon boat with waves.

Yes it will.

Thankyou

@kyledahmen3394 you’re welcome

You’re welcome. What video was you asking if I could make?

@@334tacticaloutdoors what do you mean?

It’s a showdown bow storage bag. www.mariner-sails.com/showdown-bow-bag-cover.html

@@334tacticaloutdoors thank you. I bought some great rod holders from them not long ago.

@robharrison110 yea they’re easy to work with

Thank you. I appreciate it.

It was my editing software I used when I first started making these videos. I’ve since changed my software. Thank you for watching and subscribing.

@@334tacticaloutdoors Got it. Just watched your video on how to reinstall the control head on the TM. Another well done. Keep 'em center mass and fish on!👍👍

@bomanone0905 thank you.

Yes, it also depends on the battery a 50ah battery will last all day plus a little. A 100ah battery will last 2 or more days. A regular lead acid battery will last all day also.

You’re welcome, thanks for the feedback this is truly a great kayak and yes works best with a trolling motor.

Thank you.

Yes u can mark holes. Whatever works best for u is the way to go.

@@334tacticaloutdoorsThank you, so do I need to drill pilot hole for lag bolts that are mounted on kayak or just drill 1/4 bit and lock em down?

@robertgill8833 yes drill a small pilot hole so the lag bolt will start easier. Don’t drill too big of a hole you want that lag bolt to be tight.

@@334tacticaloutdoors Thanm you sir.

@robertgill8833 you’re welcome.

Thank you, and you can get yours even better than mine.

You can drill holes in the box or put a small hinge opening that could be opened when running but closed when you want it to be.

They’re nice to have.

Thank you for watching the video. You would need the 100amp.

@@334tacticaloutdoors thank you!!! Thanks for the quick reply

@@334tacticaloutdoors I was wondering if there is any way you can make a video of making a pwm with installing a kill switch to the box . I could not find a good video explanation about it. I am new and flipped my kayak couple times and almost lost my kayak and also almost got hurt by the blade .

@@andylam83 you’re welcome!!

@andylam83 let me see if I can get one ordered and I’ll send u a message soon as I get it filmed.

Thanks, These Bonafide kayaks are incredible, I have definitely enjoyed mine.

@@334tacticaloutdoors for sure I feel very safe in mine.

@effinericsloan definitely, the stability of the Bonafide kayaks is incredible.

I do have one hole where the fish finder power cable goes in and the steering cables for the trolling motor and where I mounted the trolling motor down.

@@334tacticaloutdoors thanks for the reply, got my sub! Appreciate it!

@okieadventures8548 you’re welcome.

No not at all. It stays nice and tight you want be able to tell you cut the shaft down.

Oh goodness this is a tough one. I will start off by saying the Oldtown is 10’ 6” long and the pescador pro is 12’ long so it’s a little longer. The Oldtown does have a storage hatch where the pescador doesn’t have one. Now when it comes to stability the old town is a tad better in my opinion so I would say it’s gonna come down to the style, look and length that you want. Either kayak will be a great kayak to buy and you want regret it. I hope this helps, but these 2 are hard to choose from.

Thanks, but Pescador since it's 12 it may be faster ? Or not that much ?

@SamMelik they’ll be about the same speed wise.

​@334tacticaloutdoors Thanks again for your replies, wish you all the best.

@SamMelik you’re welcome!! if I can ever help again just ask.

You can put a bow mount trolling motor on. This is a website you can purchase the kit from. www.oneobjectivebf.com/store/p106/oneobjectivebowmount.html#/

Thank you!! I really appreciate the great feedback.

It has a 550lb weight limit.

@@334tacticaloutdoors thank-you, sure looks like it work great if I get 2 and build my own catamaran. I'm a gold prospector, easier to carry my gear around with that kinda floor space and shallow draft.

@alancadieux2984 it definitely has the space in it for that. The only down fall on this kayak it weighs 125lbs.

They was 1/4” bolt 1-1/2” long. You just wanna make sure the bolt gets just tight enough to hold the cable where it want come loose.

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback and the compliment.

So I’m actually about to add a motor on my Teton and I was wondering how did you feed the cord through the two drilled wholes for the foot pedals?

@@bullybreed86 I removed the flush mount rod holders drilled the holes on the stern and by the foot pedals. I use a wire clothes hanger and stuck it through the holes on the stern all the way to the flush mount rod holder hole then tied some string to the clothes hanger and pulled it through. Then from by the foot pedals I did the same thing then tied the springs together at the flush mount rod holder then attached the nylon cord to the string on the stern and pulled it all the way to the pedals.

Thanks man I really appreciate it.

@bullybreed86 you’re welcome!! If you ever have any other questions just ask.

Thank you!! You can haul it in a pick up truck but you will either need a bed extender or I’ve used a couple 12’ 2x4 it is a very long kayak so you would also need a flag to tie on the end. A trailer is by far the best way to go for it.

1/2” OD and you can use anything you have just keep the wires protected and help protect the friction of that shaft while cutting.

Remove the flush mount rod holders. Drill the holes by the pedals and at the rear of the kayak. I took a wire clothes hanger straightened it out I stuck it from the rear hole to the flush mount holder hole attached some string and pulled to there then took the clothes hanger from the hole by the pedals and stuck it through to the rod holder pulled string through then tied the string together and from the hole by the pedal I attached the nylon cable to the string and pulled it all the way to the rear. It just takes some patience but it’s very simple.

Is it just 2 big black wires? or one big black one and one small black wire with a big red one?
