@ronsolbergfishing that's awesome! Ya the team event is a lot of fun. Adds a different aspect and strategy to the event!

@panchopachangas4450 yes. Just pick you kayak model. navarrekayakfishing.com/shop/old-town-offset-power-pole-mounting-plate/

@huanc7996 I also car top my kayak! The motor comes off in like 1 minute or less and I do lock it in place and steer with the rudder. If you check some of my more recent videos I upgraded my rudder to the pacificyakangler rudder and it made steering so much better

@@silentjoutdoors nice will check it out. Do need a backing plate or mounted direct?

@huanc7996 don't need a plate, it mounts directly to the PowerPole mounting hardware. The plate from navarre just puts it more in a straight line with the kayak, I find it a little better but it's not necessary. If you buy a Newport use the code KODY752 at checkout for 10% off your entire order!

@@silentjoutdoors thanks a lot!

@huanc7996 no problem! Good luck out there

@easternkayakangling7972 thanks dude! Hopefully I'll have another day like this tomorrow on Lac argile for frozen bass haha

@Flippencz sweet! Almost 1km more than me. My kayak is very loaded down though so probably the difference is because of the weight difference

@rogersmith8593 from their website? I'm in Canada so not sure they would offer free shipping like Amazon does. But it's good to know that! I'll check it out for any future purchases

@@maximeseguin7798 thanks dude

@@Bechardfishing thank you!

@@willtraveltofish thanks bro

@@Fish_and_broue thanks man! Hope we all do well! There's 5 of us and 5 top spots for Texas.. coincidence? Nope haha

@fishingwithyue3011 thanks randy!

@@Flippencz 🙏 thanks

@@silentjoutdoorsdo you have issue with your rudder bending in current. It happens to me sometimes full throttle and slightly turning I’m with some current. 🤙😎

@Flippencz Not really, to be honest. Not sure if you seen but in another video I talk about my rudder upgrade. It's been one of the best upgrades I've done, my control is so much better

@@silentjoutdoors yes, I had the Navarre rudder upgrade and then bought the PYA one you have and still have the issues. The rudder flex is at the narrow part of the rudder. Just have to slow down when turning. 🤙😎

@ChrisGervaisFishing hopefully I can make another video called "watch me win another tournament" and release it on Monday next week haha

@@silentjoutdoors go get'em!

@@tonysboatingandfishingpacp710 The best thing to do is email Old Town customer support. They will provide you with a PDF that explains it step by step. It's much easier to get that PDF than it is for me to try and explain it haha

@miamiwax5504 The motor by design is meant to lift up if you hit something, so it's not locked in position. If you reverse and it's not lock in position it will lift up out of the water backwards. The rope is to pull and lock it so it won't lift when reversing. But I don't reverse with my motor so I didn't put that rope. Only the lift rope

@josephariano7003 oh man it's a pain haha. If you reach out to Old Town via email they will send you the info you're looking for! Sorry I don't have a video on it and it's a lot harder to explain than it is for Old Town to just send you the info and photos of it

Ok thanks. Yeah i messed with it for a couple hours. Ill reach out to them.

@mongo4085 anything specific you'd like to know about it?

How does the motor do? ive Been looking at the NK180 pro and the 300. The 300 is a beast but heavy. Does the 180 work good with the old town? What’s the battery duration?

@mongo4085 ya the NK180 is an amazing motor! It pushed me about 4.6mph on max. If I run at 80% throttle I can go for hours and hours. It's very very efficient. I have used it for multiple 2 day trips without recharging and it has more than enough battery

@@silentjoutdoorsvery nice, I primarily just do day trips out of Navarre or Pensacola Florida. If it worked for you on multi day trips then I should work great for me.

@mongo4085 it would be very very difficult to kill it in 1 day

@Flippencz I have messed around with it a bit but can't say 100% it's the best this way, but the little I did mess around with, I was getting the least cavitation and better speeds. My kayak is pretty fully equipped and I'm getting 8kmh on 100% so 5mph. I rarely ever run 100% though, usually 80% and I'm getting 6.5kmh

@@silentjoutdoors Thank you 🙏 😎🤙

@@Flippencz no problems, but I definitely suggest starting with the lowest to second lowest and go from there. I tried the higher options and tons of cavitation and low speed.

@JohnGoetze-fl5qp I think it would, definitely doesn't hurt to try! The only issue I could see is you'd have to move your front bar back kind of a lot to have the wing on the back work as it should. But if it works then it works!

@@silentjoutdoors Thanks for quickly addressing my question.

@JohnGoetze-fl5qp my pleasure! My videos are all for helping people with things I've done or things I use. Have you had a chance to measure and see if it will fit? Hopefully it does because it's a great system. I didn't measure mine but looking at it the other day I believe I could move the cross bars back more and the 58 probably would work

I tried to install the Showboat system on my Kia Sportage. I can’t safely move the cross bars back enough to accommodate the 58” bars. This prevents the roller from extending back to allow me to place a kayak on it without hitting the roof of the SUV. I’m going to try to sell this system. Thanks again….John

I’m considering buying a set of 66” round bars so that I can install the Yakima Showboat system on my Kia Sportage. I want to be able to load 2 kayaks with one of the boats being placed in a set of Jaylow carriers. The Jaylow carriers would be setup on the passenger side of the SUV & they would face inward rather than outward. I’d have to load this kayak first. I’d load the second kayak face down over the driver’s side of the Kia. Do you think this would work or should I go with the Yakima boat loader EVO load assist system?

@@BeardedDadFishing haha its not fun when you do

@@BeardedDadFishing completely love my setup! Love it so much I bought another sportsman PDL 120 and rigged it the same way haha

@@silentjoutdoors awesome! Doing my setup over the next two weeks. Do you have the link for the throttle mount and the part that holds your rope to deploy the motor?

@@ASwordoftheLordGod I catch a literal ton of big smallies on plastic worms all the time.

@@pizza_rolls--_2 thank you!

@@pizza_rolls--_2 🤘

@Antny_777 Ya Old Town runs a tight ship haha literally. To be honest it's rare that the Old Towns have the same problems as other kayaks.

@@19pas87 oui, comme .7 kmh moins. Pis avec une plate en place du pdl c'est comme .5 kmh plus vite haha

@@ChrisGervaisFishing thanks bro!

@Riverrunfishing thank you Adam 💪

@@maximeseguin7798 yaaaa buddy

@@Mrtwich819 haha not more than that lol

@@Fish_and_broue thanks!

@@rebeccaduplain7513 yessss soon!

@LifewithLewi I'm 5'8" and can use either the 3rd or 2nd setting from the front. The first setting is way to close. I usually use the 2nd setting if I'm pedaling a bit and if I'm pedaling a lot I will use the 3rd setting to get a more full extension on my legs. This is a 120 so I can't say for the 106 dipping forward if you use the front setting but on my 120 it wouldn't dip on the front setting.

@MyCarolinaOutdoors thank you! I appreciate the subscribe and the kind words about the video! I have a couple new ones Im working on! Should be out soon!

@@silentjoutdoors 👍🏼

@@Fish_and_broue hahaha would be awesome, 2 for 1 deal

@guoanjiang593 Looks similar to a torqeedo but it's a Newport motor. And the plate is from Navarres fishing store online. navarrekayakfishing.com/shop/old-town-offset-power-pole-mounting-plate/

Thank you very much

@@YAKINGWITHDREW you definitely do. It's so good

@jayweitekamp have hit a lot of rocks with it and nothing happens. It's still on a bungee so it allows a little movement. Maybe if I was going full speed and hit a rock something more might happen but honestly I've been using the rudder a lot and banging it all over the place and everything is fine. There is no code because they are all on a pre release pre order sale! The prices are very very good right now. This is the "P3" rudder pacificyakangler.com/collections/aluminum-rudder-new-product-alert

@@easternkayakangling7972 Thanks!

@@kckayakfishing thank you!

@GilbertMartinez-l1u honestly this rudder will be released very soon and is worth the extra like 2 or 3 week wait. The code is KODY15 for 15% off on the website

@kevinkornman not very heavy, only slightly heavier than the Navarre rudder but wayyy lighter than the boonedox one

@@silentjoutdoors I tried the boonedox one last year and, after the struggles running the cord through and saw how flimsy the spool that attaches to the cord inside the kayak is l realized it was to heavy so l switched back to the old one which l did modify with adding some kydex to make it wider and just doing that helped a lot.

@kevinkornman ya that probably would have helped! But this one so far has been great. Not much extra weight and the handling has been the best I've ever had from my kayak

@saltyguerrilla I used Navarres rudder for 1 year and upgraded for this one. It's not even close to how much better this one is... Maybe that's not what you wanted to hear since you just bought it, but it's the honest truth. Steering always sucked with my rudder and NK but now it's actually really good. Going slow or fast.
