What fish finder would you recommend for your kayak?

Another great job! So many mods for this kayak is just emphasizing how great it is to fish with! I'm looking for a used one now. I can't wait to put some of these ideas on my own!

This video was one of my inspirations to start my own channel. Haven't seen any videos from you for a while, hope everything is ok.

Can you publish the rough dimensions of the front base for the motor? I have an Outlaw 11.5 on order and want to have a base ready for the front when it finally gets here. I really only need to know what size board of 1/2 inch HPDE to order from Amazon, is 12”x12” sufficient? I will make my own template with cardboard to cut it. (My mount will be just a basic one for a 55lb Newport with Autoboat.) Thanks, nice video.

Hey dad

Not sure you knew this but they don't recommend going lower than 50% depth of discharge on deep cycle lead acid batteries or it begins to lose capacity. I know you didn't go that low on this trip.

What is that bag on the side of your seat?

What Fish Finder do you have? Do you have a video on mounting your Transducer if you have the larger one?

Is there any jerky movement with the spot lock?

Hi…are you able to hold position with the spot lock or it moves around?….thanks

Nice vid! I saw u at the ramp! Treacherous conditions that day

What is with the kilometers instead of m.p.h.?!

What connections for power to the battery box? The ones you said you wish you would have gotten first time that lock in.

I bought a outlaw a few months back I installed the Xi3 Motor-guide in the front as well. I didn’t screw down the front(I copied 334tactical) but I didn’t like just leave the front lip without securing it to the kayak. I also didn’t want to screw more holes as well where I didn’t have access from the hull. So I used heavy duty marine sealant and clamped it down for a good solid 12 hours and also use black silicone heavy duty all purpose for the final touch to make it look pretty lol! It’s super solid! The way I did it almost looks like the bracket was made with the kayak!

I’d pay you to set mine up. Too bad I’m in the states.

Glad too see the build hold up I just bought the same trolling motor and kayak!

I just finished mine today.. i watched your video countless times.. what size and length bolts did you use for the front?

What size screws did you end up using.. and how long are they

😂 Promo'SM

Good job Mike!

Hey I’m going to be putting a trolling motor on my outlaw also. I’m curious as to why you chose to put on the front instead of the molded area on the back. I’ve been watching a lot of different videos and seen both thanks

What size breaker for battery?

How are you keeping the water from flowing in from the scupper holes... I'm doing this at as I'm watching... your videos are super informative.. thank you

Great video

Watching the vid now. Smashing them right away. Good job See ya at balsam lake. I’ll say hi if I see ya.

I just hit the subscribe button.. keep up the great content.. it's AWESOME

Great video. I have a XI3 on my sons kayak but he is going to pick his kayak up when he gets out of the Marine Corps. So I will have my motor but no boat. Where did you get the mount for yours, thanks?

I am definitely getting it.. your videos are solid.. thank you VERY much for the content

damn i want some steaks now😅

Nice to watch your video. I was fishing that tournament also. My 1st kayak tournament. I messed up and didn’t know there were boundaries and was fishing the south shore area. Found out when I went to summit my 2nd fish.

Good recap Mike and thanks for the shout out

Been waiting to see you finally test this out, I’ve got an Outlaw and I’m so jealous, if only my wife could understand how much I need the xi3 for mine 😂

I'm very curious about the spot lock, did you try it? How is GPS anchor performace on the outlaw 11.5?

did the pedals add much leg comfort and back support ?

I’d be concerned with the pin sliding out and losing everything.,

WhaT size rivets did you ised? I didnt hear you say... I'm new to rivits 😅

Nice video I just got done doing the same motor on my 11.5. I just got done with it this weekend then saw your video lol. Haven’t had it in the water yet but I’m excited. Thanks for making the video

Great video, I love that you didn’t edit out the mistakes to make it seem like it was a quick and flawless install. One suggestion I’d make for that deck plate is to make it 3-4” longer than the boat. That way you can cut in a carry handle into the front. It would also give you enough material to make a “sandwich “ plate and not have to use well nuts or drill extra holes in the boat. Just add some spacer blocks where the gap is for the carry handle and in front of the handle so that you can use another piece of UHMW to sandwich the existing handle. That would secure the front of the plate without drilling or using clamps. Best of luck this season buddy.

Where is the motorguide??

That is slick. You definitely need to post a video in action once you can get on the water. The advantage for the bow mounted trolling motor like this is being able to stand and use the remote to steer. Most of the time, you can set the direction and fish while moving slowly. I have a stern mounted trolling motor on my Outlaw 11.5 with toe steering pedals installed. So, I have to stay seated to steer while moving. I love it though. I am hands-free except the occasional adjustment to the speed on my PWM controller. I too have the breaker where I can reach it for the trolling motor. You will need to install front navigational lights. I just use a Vizipole for my 360 in the back. I have it in one of the rod holders on my crate. I did the same thing and watched videos on KZbin and basically picked pieces of what I watched t put together my own install. I think I could do it again and have a much cleaner look...not to mention it would be much easier to do in a shorter time frame. I have a 100ah Lithium battery and that is a bit overkill. I can fish for 10hrs and still have just over 50% left...that is fishing with winds in the 12-15mph range. I can cover a ton of water on one charge. I have never come close to running out of juice. I am curious to hear how it performs in wind and chop...does the front get swamped too much and does the back end spin around too much...that will be interesting to compare to a stern mounted motor on this kayak.

I did this to my outlaw and noticed the motor was just too heavy in the front it would easily dive under waves from boats, even with battery in the back. I then mounted a 12 volt brushless TM on the back with foot controls. i fish the gulf a lot and didnt want saltwater constantly dousing my motor

Thanks for the video!!! Getting ready to start this install myself, will reference this frequently. Really like your use of less expensive items instead of the overpriced items targeted at kayaks.

I have a deck plates in the same front area however I am a pretty skinny dude but I am having a lot of trouble being able to reach through the deck plate in order to ratchet the two inside bolts down. How did you go about it or any advice?

So what was the total thickness needed for the pvc mounting board plate?

Great video..question, how did you secure the case to your Kayak? I was thinking heavy duty Velcro.

How are the foot braces holding up? Would you recommend the same installation method after some use?

Thanks for the video and the tips. How has this particular hatch been working for you? Any Leaks? Also, what is the specific product or model hatch plate that you installed? Did you install the same model hatch plate in all three locations? Many Thanks!

Hello, congrats for you first trout!! That white thing in the left side track is an anchor system? How did you attach it? Thanks for the video.

Super! This morning I was in Bass Pro Shop , looking at the same pelican case and thinking about mounting my garmin 73sv to it. And bam! Here is your video! Thank you!

Awesome to have the first trout man. 🎣💪 Fish strong.
