2019 Hobie Pro Angler 14 Rigged

[@yakzen4120]

Nice set up, appreciate you sharing your professional rigging. I don’t always agree with your systems, but I always enjoy your expertise and ideas. Good vid!

[@yakzen4120]

Ps: What a sweet Yak!

[@Walt1119]

Great series of videos, where did you go? No posts since this one.....

[@TimPercyKayakFishing]

Sorry, I was holding off and hoping to do a rigging video on the new PA 360, but the border closure stopped me from going across and picking it up. I have some fishing footage that I hope to organize and put some videos together. I have a number of components waiting to go on the PA 360 if/when I'm able to get it. If you have anything you would like to see let me know.

[@TheGoodoftheLand]

Awesome job! That is one nice setup!

[@TimPercyKayakFishing]

Thanks, interested to see what you do next with the motors.

[@coachrobm]

Tim Percy..your thoughts on the Boonedox Landing Gear voiding the Hobie Warranty? I didn't find out about this until after I bought my PA 14 this weekend. They, DE Paddlesports, said they installed a 9" backing plate. I have the latest Groovey model. I don't intend to load my kayak when launching/loading with the Boonedox Landing Gear, so hopefully I won't stress the screws and crack the yak. I hope being careful, and not loading the kayak while loading/launching will preclude any cracking. BTW, I'm installing all of the equipment you have in your video, less the anchor. You should make up some 'customized by Time Percy' stickers so I can stick one on my boat. I believe your setup is the best out there...very professional. Thanks again for all your help.

[@TimPercyKayakFishing]

Thank you. I don't use Boondox... I have no issue with the Hobie scupper carts. Between my weight and the other gear I have on the kayak...I don't need to add any unwanted weight :) I don't think you would have a warranty issue with anything else that doesn't relate to the Boondox install.

[@TimPercyKayakFishing]

I'm glad you got some use out of my videos.

[@bryans7131]

I really enjoy your vids Tim, especially your kayak rigging vids. I sold my 2015 PA14 last spring for a Compass, and ended up regretting that move. I recently sold the Compass and found a great deal on a used 2016 PA14, so this video is very timely as I get the PA rigged to my liking. I liked your use of the Geartrac bar clamps. I managed to find a couple of sets available online, and will add a set to the front rails and another on my H-Crate. I have a number of accessories that use a track mount, so this will be a good solution for me.

[@TimPercyKayakFishing]

I'm glad you find my videos useful.

[@danb531]

Thanks Tim another great video. Only thing left to do on mine is come up with a better way to rig my anchor wizard. I have it on the base plate for now but it’s quit a stretch to operate it. The good/bad news is I have all winter to figure it out. Keep up the good work!

[@904fishingmusicandadventur9]

wow, awesome set up... very informative.. I am in North Florida and fish the flats, so, some of that I wont need.. but i like a of what you have going on.. very nice, VERY FANCY.... just wondering, how much would that entire set up cost, out the door?

[@TimPercyKayakFishing]

What are you my wife? :) I've never sat down to figure out the total cost. I realize people are not going to need everything I've put on mine....I do a lot of tournaments with varying conditions, but I never go out with if fullly rigged, but I have needed everything on it at different times.

[@904fishingmusicandadventur9]

@@TimPercyKayakFishing LOL@wife... i was just trying to get a idea for how much it would cost to set us a cool system like yours.. but I have been doing some web searching... no worries... best wishes for continued success

[@TimPercyKayakFishing]

Once you get one, take it out and figure out the type of fishing you are going to do and what accessories you want to add. The good thing is, you can add a bit a time. The one thing I always suggest; buy the largest fish finder you are comfortable paying for. Next would be; buy a large enough lithium battery to handle all your future needs

[@pitchkapizda8355]

Genius set up 👍🏼

[@garrettareiss]

I watched your older video of doing the anchor wizard. Do you like the bar clamps or the h rail mounting plate better?

Hi Tim..sorry to bother you again. I installed my Berley Pro Orb light on my H-Crate. Looks nice. I also mounted a Berley Pro Orb Dimmer Switch below the light. I have a photo I can send you of my setup if you're interested in seeing it. I really like it. Anyway, the Dimmer switch came with two red wires. I assume I wire the dimmer switch in-line (in series) with my red/hot wire coming from my Orb Light? There were no wiring instructions. BTW, I mounted everything you mounted on your 2019 PA14, exactly the way you did. I couldn't be happier. The Tim Percy signature model. Everything is mounted professionally (by me) with the YAK Power Management System, Point 1 GPS, Lowrance Live 7 HDS, LED (red) lighting, 2 Yak Power Ports (external), Combo Voltmeter USB port, etc. Can't wait to try everything out this weekend. Thanks for all your help. Rob

[@TimPercyKayakFishing]

Robert, in glad my videos assisted you. Yes the just wire the switch inline with the positive. Now get out there and enjoy the fruits of your labor. ;)

[@coachrobm]

@@TimPercyKayakFishing I hooked up last weekend with some beauties (big smallies) on my home lake. Looking forward to catching some LMs this weekend. I'm already catching more fish per day from my new PA14 kayak than I did from my Skeeter Tournament Bass Boat. Must be the silent prop- sneaking up on em. haha Thanks again.

Nice clean install as always Tim. Question for you as I can’t seem to find out how to erase my tracks on my elite 4 chirp. Everything works but always shows on my map that I’m on st.clair. Thanks

[@TimPercyKayakFishing]

You can hide them or delete them. This video should help. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipW0gZqBjc1lrck

[@ghall1314]

Awesome walk-through, thank you. How did you attach the yakpower controller to the cutting board?

[@TimPercyKayakFishing]

I have it mount with Yak-Attack Geartrac and rail mount. Unfortunately, they dont make the rail mounts any longer.

[@ghall1314]

I was actually wondering how the wire controller is mounted to the board that attached to the stern. I like the yakattack paddle holder method you used, but curious how you attached the controller to the board since there really is no way to run any hardware to it. Epoxy maybe?

[@lawerancelanham]

some of those command strips would work great

[@fishinpharm2991]

Have you ever had a situation where you had to quickly release your anchor point? Curious as to how/if a quick release system can utilize the anchor wizard.

[@TimPercyKayakFishing]

I haven't had to yet. A quick turn of the Anchor Wizard handle will let the line free-spool.

[@fishinpharm2991]

Tim Percy Kayak Fishing good to know. Didn’t realize there’s a free spool function to the anchor wizard. Thanks for the clarification.

[@tfs8271]

@@TimPercyKayakFishing How do you use the storage for anchor when using the trolley? I would think you have to unhook every time you anchor up to stow the anchor?

[@TimPercyKayakFishing]

I will usually store it on deck while I'm using it or moving from one spot to the next. If I'm not sure I'm going use it, but want to take it out with me, I keep it in the front hatch.

[@fishinpharm2991]

Tim Percy Kayak Fishing seems like a lot of interest in the anchor options. Do I see a video in the future on how to utilize the various aspects ie. drift sock and what not?

[@stevegrooms7543]

Great Walkthrough! Did you have the Mighty Mouse custom painted or is that a decal from somewhere? Looks Great!

[@TimPercyKayakFishing]

Yes, Mighty Mouse is custom vinyl wrap that I had done by a local shop

[@thompsonhorses]

Tim, Have you tested the run time with the 12 TI2 and the Point 1 with the two FVP's yet. Thanks

[@TimPercyKayakFishing]

Unfortunately I have not stress tested the batteries with the 12 Ti2 yet. I probably won't be able to until Spring.

[@matmill1]

Do you know if Lowrance units will require the voltage regulator from FPV? Or will you find out when you stress test? @@TimPercyKayakFishing

[@TimPercyKayakFishing]

@@matmill1 I've run my Lowrance Elite9 Ti without the regulator and had no issues. I recently ran the Elite12 Ti2 in demo mode for 18 hours without the regulator as well. I think the issue I had before was with the Carbon 9 with 3D StructureScan, between the unit, the hub and the Point1 it was too much draw without a regulator. So far I haven't had an issue without the regulator... and that's with the Point1 on the Ti and Ti2.

[@lmay07]

You always have something new to add to the fun list....very nice.

[@TimPercyKayakFishing]

Thank you

[@timw3062]

Tim, Great setup, how do you charge the batteries under your H crate. Do you have to remove the H crate and cover or can you charge from somewhere else.

[@TimPercyKayakFishing]

Depends on where I'm charging them. If I'm on the road at a tournament, I will take them out and bring them in to charge...I bring the H-Crate in anyways. When I'm at home, my PA's are in the garage; so I will unplug up front at the Yak-Power controller and plug it into the charger.

[@tcbridges]

Ok, so that Hobie was about $3700 Now If I bought one what will it cost me to rig it up like you have your. I need to have a idea before I bit the bullet in the new Hobie. Thank You

[@czwest7845]

Tim how do Yack power button lights compare to Supernova strips?

[@TimPercyKayakFishing]

I've never used the Supernova, but I've used similar strip LED's on a previous PA. I find the button lights put out similar 'brightness' in a smaller footprint. I don't use lights on the exterior of my kayaks, unless you include the BerleyPro ORB 360 safety light. The button lights I have installed on the interior give me plenty of light when I need it.

[@larrylindsey9766]

How much is the kayak with all those accessories?

[@TimPercyKayakFishing]

I've never done a total cost.

[@thelanda1091]

Nice rig there mate!!! Great stuff.

[@TimPercyKayakFishing]

Thank you

[@svglcx]

If you were just going to install a Lowrance HDS- live with no other hardware, would just just hook up the positive & negative wires? I assume no need for wake up wire or listener/talkers. Thanks

[@TimPercyKayakFishing]

That's correct.

[@svglcx]

Thank you sir

Tim why not the 360? Was that a conscious decision not to get that one?

[@coachrobm]

Nice Video Tim. I just bought a 2019 PA 14 and I'm having it rigged, myself, with everything you have. Can you tell me the P/N and where to buy the H Crate bracket for the Burley Pro Orb light? Also, can you tell me what port you have mounted on the kayak to buy that the Orb Light plugs into? I bought the Lowrance HDS Live 7 instead of the TI2. I heard there were a lot of issues/problems with the TI2. I'm going to pick up my kayak this weekend.

[@TimPercyKayakFishing]

The HDS Live will consume a fair bit more power than the Ti2. The mount I used is just the Hobie H-Rail accessory mount. I use the Yak-Power port kits to run the power back there and added the plug to the ORB with a bit more wire to give me the length I need to plug it into the port

[@coachrobm]

@@TimPercyKayakFishing Thanks for the quick reply. I did some calculations, based on the HDS Live specs, and determined that one of the two FPV 17.5Ah batteries I'm using will be sufficient to run the unit all day (between 7-10 hrs) along w/ the Point-1. I'm using the other FPV 17.5Ah battery to run the Orb Light, cockpit LED Lights, and USB charging ports. I was considering using it to run the Micro Anchor as well, but bought the Micro Anchor battery nonetheless. Thanks for the info on the Hobie H-Rail accessory for my Orb Light & the Yak-Power port kits. When I'm finished installing everything I'll take some photos and send them to you. I couldn't have done all of this without your help. Thanks again. Rob

@@coachrobm The Power-Pole battery is the better option. Its surprising how much power it takes. I was blowing 3amp fuses when I tried it...switched to the battery pack.are going with the Yak-Power system for switches?

[@coachrobm]

@@TimPercyKayakFishing Wow, I'm glad I got it. I was originally thinking I would connect one of the FPV 17.5Ah batteries to it (the non-lowrance battery).

I've never had an issue using the Hobie carts. I have enough stuff on my kayak as it is, so I haven't seen the need to add additional weight. 90% of the time I just throw the cart back in my truck once I bring my kayak to the water.

I spend a lot of time in my Hobies. I do about 14 tournaments a year on top of the many days I spend on the water recreational or practice fishing.

Hello Tim, to start off, I love your videos. I'm a new kayaker and new owner of a 19' PA 14. Right now working on how I wanna rig this thing so I have a question. What do you think the benefits and cons are of a battery box and having your batteries mounted on the batterang. Also I'd like to get pics of your pelican 1200 build ([e-mail]). Thanks for everything, you've been a huge influence on how I'm putting my PA together!

[@TimPercyKayakFishing]

The Batterang is a convenient out of way storage for the battery. You can start off with one 17.5Ah battery, then add a second one if you feel you need it. I will get you some better images of the Pelican setup later today
