I have a prowler 30lb thrust that looks identical to yours. My question is how do you fix the extended handle. Mine just comes out on its own. I would like for you to do a video on it. May sound elementary but I may be missing parts that makes it just slide out. Also is the switch a universal switch for all of the minn kota motors?

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.

Hey man. So why do we need to cut the shafts down to 36" i have the 54" salt water xi3 it was on sale for 1/2 off so decided couldnt pass that up. So i got it all mounted to my ss127 and i dont really see why i should cut it down. Its not in the way so was curious if there was any reasoning behind it or guys just like it shorter to cast off the front. Any input helps. Thanks again for your videos. I used your bungee cord idea and the 2 handle ideas. Works perfectly.
@334tacticaloutdoors23 күн бұрын
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.

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.

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.

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.

Excellent job on the review, just subscribed today and I'm interested in the Asend 133X, very affordable and available locally. I do wish it had a peddle drive like the Native Kayak, It would be much better than the storage box in the middle of the kayak. It also does not have a rudder which I prefer, it seems as though it is best off with dual trolling motors. Aside from that, I like it! I'm also considering the Milha Lite Skiff 13 foot which canbe fitted with an outboard motor up to 15 hp. Thanks again for the excellent review!

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.
