SINKING Kayak WITH Outboard MOTOR SIT INSIDE PELICAN KAYAK go kart

[@amicusfirepits]

I think the rear deck swamping at higher speed is due to incorrect transom angle. The typical transom pitches to the rear at a 16 degree angle. This angle creates lift when force is applied. This lift is what makes a conventional boat plane out. You don't need more elevation at the motor. Lifting the motor up will alter your center of gravity and make your vessel top heavy. "Google" transom angle to see an illustration of this principal. Don't give up, your kayak was floating fine until you applied more throttle. Review the video and you'll see the same thing. Every time throttle was increased the rear deck was pushed downward causing it to flood. The correct transom angle will actually lift the rear of the boat up reducing draft. Keep trying, but that's the first thing I'd do to correct the problem.

[@ryanfalls5821]

Should i try with my 11 ft Pelican mustang kayak?

[@jimcatanzaro7808]

You could put out riggers with floats in the rear I did that on a 8ft John boat flat bottom I put a 15hp evinrude on it and some weight in the front and a bilge pump with help that guy that committed about the 16 degrees is correct and you should have the prop as high as you can without cavitation too low causes drag and pushes the back down as well Great video I love my out riggers I also have them on slides and they go up and down to adjust you can stand all day casting with them and the boat won’t tip

[@michaelblencowe4241]

Add a diy stabilizer to it and that should lift the back end a little. I used 4 lobster trap floats and they work great!

[@jimcatanzaro7808]

That’s what I did on the 8 foot John boat I put a 15hp evinrude on it and almost sank first try then I added 2 sets of stabilizers with lobster trap floats and held up good and went about 20mph then all the rivets in the boat got loose and leaked like a mother and the boat had a lot of twist in it the motor pretty much tore her up now she sits until my kyack set up is done it’s lighter and less work then the jon boat

[@AliexFolgueira]

This is awesome! Trolling motor should be fine, no issues

[@adamnorton748]

I have a F&S Eagle Run 12, with a similar storage area in the back but with a little more boat behind it. I 've added a rudder on the back and thinking about putting the Hangkai 4hp jet drive in the storage area. Doing the rudder I had to verify that my kayak is plastic #4 and I melted more to it. So for the motor I would create a thru hole and weld it back shut to let it swing up and down. Good luck out there on the water dude!

[@Mrspinout007]

Let's try and push a displacement hull faster than hull speed with it out of trim. What's the worst that could happen? It sunk? Who would have thought?? Bro, FYI when you push a displacement hull faster than hull speed it sinks down in the water. Zoffinger used a flat bottom boat. It can in theory plane when you push it fast enough. Good first try though!

[@dothem.e.d.s4899]

Buy a 2 person and sit front, add a leaver with 2 cables left/right , a small boat trim system, but he’ll just get a 90s Kawasaki and do the same

Back in the 1980s I put a 10 hp.johnson on a sunfish 10' sail boat hull worked ok couldn't see over the bow but it did work I don't know if KZbin even existed then but I do know how to put an out board on a kayak successfully now ,,I have built the pelican trailblazer 100nxt with the bass pro 30 motor and its turned out great,,you and Marty keep up the good videos,,, maybe we'll hook up one day and share some thoughts maby some secret's and have a great time doing it

[@AliexFolgueira]

Marty is awesome, we are so lucky to have stuff like yt now where we can show our stuff and learn from others.. I'm gonna mod my pelican Sentinel with the outboard

[@redwood1957]

Good try remember the first rule is Do no Harm, Do you need any weight up front? Or just drive up to Marty thats a joke you will do it. That would be a good fit on the TW120. Thank you

[@AliexFolgueira]

I'm so bad at it I'm gonna have to drive up to Marty's lol

[@junyongpak]

It was a good first attempt. I laughed my ass off that you went all-in on your maiden voyage (I’m thinking you probably could have waited to bring the fish finder until you knew that it wouldn’t sink. I’d bet you didn’t even think about fish for one second during any part of that). In addition to the transom angle as that other fellow mentioned you appear to have a major mechanical attachment problem. The motor needs to be mounted better as it looks like the weight hanging off is causing the bolts to nearly punch through the shell (is that where the water was entering the kayak, or did it cause the upper shell to separate from the bottom hull?) How about longer rails that tie into the shell farther forward to provide some mechanical strain relief to the fasteners? Otherwise, kudos for even trying 😂👍

[@ozzie3056]

Does it have scupper holes in the storage tray in the back? Maybe a tandem would have been better? Very cool idea

[@AliexFolgueira]

This project was fun but I picked the wrong yak lol

[@ozzie3056]

@@AliexFolgueira if you ever wanna try it on a vibe 130t lmk I purchased the transom mount for it but never installed or used it because I purchased a bixpy. But I was always left wondering what a 2.5hp outboard would have been. You can make a video with it.

[@bubblerings]

@@AliexFolgueira (thumbs up!) In that case, put some clear poly or heavy duty trash bag in the back and fill with Good Stuff(?) expanding foam.. the narrow tail and floodable deck WILL sink when it fills with water weight back there. -That is part of why motor boats are wide in back, to hold the weight of an outboard, and create Planing. (the plastic bag will keep the foam from gluing itself to the boat, but u better strap it down.) Have fun and stay safe. (beers!)

if you go slow the bow will raise but there will be a higher speed which will lower the bow and you will sit flat. This is the case for all speed boats

[@grahamfisher5436]

he really doesn't want to be plaining in a Kayak there's not enough height on the sterne (transom) for that type of engine to sit out of the water, Great fun though..

[@rileypeppers8145]
