i hv those seat risers on my 120....they are great.....great setup there....they dont affect stability

[@reeldazed539]

I agree. Money well spent. Thanks for watching!

[@GarryReynolds]

Did you notice any stability change with those 4” seat risers?

[@reeldazed539]

. I thought there would be some difference with stability but I did not notice any at all. Very comfortable. Thanks for watching!

[@Trepp1]

On your seat risers, what was your ratio from the front to the back like? How tall were your back ones to your front ones

[@reeldazed539]

In the back the risers lift the seat right at 3 1/2 inches. In the front the risers are 1 1/2 inches, but the original seat slider goes on top of the front risers. It is 1/2 inch thick thus making the front 2 inches. So it would be 3 1/2 inches rear and 2 inches front. It is very comfortable and I do not feel as though I am reclined to far or sitting forward to far. It is balanced well. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!!

Where did you get the set risers? It coming up in the transcript as yakabi

[@reeldazed539]

Hey, they are from yakhobby.com.

[@fish4fun354]

What mounts and ball mounts did you use for the garmin 93sv?

[@reeldazed539]

RAM MOUNTS Track Ball Marine Electronic Mount RAM-111B-354-TRA1U. I have a video comparing it to a yak attak on my channel. It has worked great. Thanks for watching!

[@fish4fun354]

@reeldazed539 I think I've figured out that I'll use a 1.5 inch ball mount with long arm just not sure where you got the bolt to mount through naverre handle.

[@reeldazed539]

It’s a t bolt. I think it came with the mount or some of my other accessories. They have them on Amazon as well.

[@51ddb]

Who is the trailer manufacturer. Looks like a nice rig.

[@reeldazed539]

It’s a Load Rite made for a 14 ft Jon Boat. Works great!

[@WhatTheH3ll1000]

Which ratchet straps did you use?

[@reeldazed539]

Cargobuckle F103745 on Amazon. They work great so far. Thanks for watching!

[@alexsisjohnson9307]

We’ve got the same boat, I changed my plastic ruder out for an aluminum one from Navarre kayak what a world of difference. Also your power cord going to your motor i use the two clips to strap it to the power pole so that it would not get tangled up or snagged on anything great set up you have.

[@reeldazed539]

Thanks! I have put a couple zip ties on that cord now to hold it tighter. I was wondering how much of a difference that rudder made. I may have to get one. He really has some good stuff for these kayaks. Thanks for watching and the positive info!!
