Love the kayak. That was going to be my 1st. Theyre very stable,, and can add tons of accessories. II went with the Oldtown 120 pdl. I just put on my Bixpy j2 to my toe control rudder. I did purchase a 2nd battery, and have the cabela's 12V to run my FF Garmin Striker 4, go pro, and a DIY Battery box, with mu usb/vm charge panel. Be safe bro..Today all kayaks are being setup and motors are being installed 🙏 🎣

Hey there, Do you mind letting me know how you mounted that head to the side on the track?

@TheFishingForecast 3 жыл бұрын

Hey! I did not mount it to the side track, but rather an open area of plastic. I used a Zinc coated plumbing flange and pipe fitting attachment that would fit inside the flange as well as below the trolling motor head. Then I drilled through the pipe fitting and secured it to the trolling motor head. Let me know if you have any more questions, check out the new video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZvckI14rtl-bdU

Question. Noticed on your power plug you only had a three prong plug but you have 4 wires to connect? Stumped. What did you.not wire up. Which color wire?

@TheFishingForecast 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Jim! Thanks for the comment! To answer your question, I connected all of the wires. The 2 wires from the head unit of the trolling motor were extended then put into the three prong plug. The battery wires connected directly to the battery. Check out the link in the bio for my new modified version, it's much better!

I’m very interested on how you rigged up your troller controller. Is there a button u push to go forward and reverse? Right now I’m using. PWM controller. It works great when it works properly but it’s been acting up here lately and I’m looking for something that’s more dependable.

@TheFishingForecast 3 жыл бұрын

There's no button! All I did was retrofit a piece on the existing input. All I did was cut down the handle and housing of the unit itself. I did not change any of the parts in the housing, just took the majority of excess material off!

Very nice set up...you are a genius with mounting the motor head next to you. I am curious how you secured the wood frame to the kayak at the back. You screwed in deck screws..how long? I assume since you cant get in there to secure them with a bolt, that they are secure enough? Thanks for sharing!

@TheFishingForecast 4 жыл бұрын

Cheers! Appreciate the compliments! I secured the wood frame to the kayak by using 3" deck screws I believe. I also used a product similar to gorilla glue that bonds well to any surface to give it extra support. Yes, you cannot reach under the deck and use a bolt, and it is more than secure enough, I can lift the kayak up by solely that part. In hindsight, I would have anchored it down for peace of mind. And gone with what I am running now. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZvckI14rtl-bdU This is the link to the new set up I'm running on the same kayak, definitely a lot better!

Heavy duty anchors. www.homedepot.ca/product/paulin-3-16s-hollow-wall-anchors-12pcs/1000409785 Similar to these if not exactly these. When you screw them in they expand and dig into the interior of the kayak. I can lift up the kayak with the mount because of how well they are attached!

It still works for Android devices however." So you're good if you have an Android device, other than that, no luck as of yet I am afraid.

@scotts8587 4 жыл бұрын

Trolling motor wiring questions for you. After you cut the shaft down you were left with 3 or 4 wires correct? How did you extend these wires? I found Minn Kota’s guide on extending the power wires and various gauges of wire required. If you have to extend all of the wires did you use the same gauge and type of wires for all wires (different colours obviously) or were different types required? I am hoping to put something together before spring, but expect it will be closer to your v1.

@TheFishingForecast 4 жыл бұрын

Hey man! Sorry late reply, but to answer your questions I had 4 wires. Two were for the battery the other two were for the motor itself. I did not have to extend or cut the battery wires, but rather I fed them to the outlet that you see behind my seat, then built an extension from the outlet (female) housing to the other side which you will see when I display the inside of the box. The other ones I did extend, and yes same gauge wire, and all i did was cut the wire and intertwine the two and connected them with electrical tape . Easy peasy man! Let me know if you have anymore questions! If you live close let's get on the water!
