DIY Scotty Mount from PVC

Did you know you can make your own Scotty mounts from pvc?

[@theted1601]

Marty....you're DIY skills are turbo! I don't have the guts to cut into my yak, but you are fearless and it always comes out looking top rate professional. Well done and thanks for sharing.

[@ratdog3055]

And women wonder why we save strange things! Saved more than one project with something that I had pack-ratted away! Nice job Marty.

[@charlesirby9222]

You get the 'Handy Andy' award for 2016. I don't see much of this anymore and it is truly refreshing. I'm from the 'baby boomer gen.', we fix, improve or invent what we use, nowadays it's 'throw it away', somebody needs to start a trash service where we send it all back to China!

[@IamLegend484]

"So I got that going for me, which is nice." You made my day with that meme Marty, tight lines.

[@atlfisherman3413]

Nothing better than DIY. To be able to customize your Kayak is cool.

[@sussexcountyboys8044]

I dont comment much but I love all your videos Marty. They make me feel like I'm in the keys... which is nice when theres a blizzard at my door today.

[@tomharrell1954]

Another winner! You are the most creative dude. I don't know if you have ever heard of it, but there is a Marine Sealant called 5200 by 3M. If you wanted to glue those wooden blocks instead of using screws 5200 will bond anything together in a permanent fashion. It is great stuff. It is a bulk glue for sealing areas that don't fit together perfectly. It cleans up perfectly with isopropyl alcohol.

[@MrBigRedViking]

Thanks for all of your awesome video tutorials! I used your ideas from this video and combined them with Kayak Fishing Hack's ideas for DIY PVC rail accessory mounts to make a scotty type rod holder mount and a camera mount.

[@Manuel_Z_Kayaks]

A heat gun and a few minutes and the PVC would have stretched and conformed to the Scotty mount. Thats how I made mine. Be sure to make plugs for them. I got into rough water and those holes get thirsty! four 3/4" holes is equal to a 3" hole in the yak! When I cut access points/hatches into my boat I use Little Tykes or Playschool toys in either white or a color to my kayak to make covers. You can also cut a PVC pipe on one side. heat it and flatten it between 2 boards to cut the shape you need. On my boat I marked the boat itself and etched in the measuring lines with my dremel etching tool. At the foot marks is a 3" black cross hatch. at the inch is a 1/4" black cross hatch and at the half inch marks is a 1/8" red cross hatch. Great videos, I did like when you had the poor man kayak though!

[@laurasautographs]

do you have a video on how you made yours?

[@deantaylor9708]

Recently got my first Kayak and loving it. Already hi-jacked a bunch of your ideas, so I thought it would be appropriate to thank you at some stage ;). Thanks for the awesome videos and easy DIY ideas. Always looking forward to the next one

[@zoffinger]

You are welcome, Dean.

[@Stubbsbitchinfishing]

Great video. I've done alot to my kayak. I have gotten alot of my inspiration from watching you. thanks for the ideas.

[@MorbidOrangeCat]

You're a smart guy Marty. Thanks again for another video!

[@wolfpackkayaktampabay3554]

"So I got that going for me, which is nice." Classic!

[@JAllredFishing]

Your shop looks like mine. I never throw anything away, it might be good for something someday. Good job on the mount.

[@jbsanger696]

Great idea!... I like how low it sits..thank you for sharing

[@vico.2514]

Now I know why i subscribed. Brilliant ingenuity.

[@hgherb]

Great work👌 here’s a tip. next time. You can also heat up the PVC with a heat gun to in large the hole easier.

[@bingramtube]

I like your style, thanks for showing.

[@umvhu]

Where the 2 screws go thru the plastic hull are stress raisers. When a fish pulls on the rod the bending force will become focused at the screws. A spreader plate or large penny washers will reduce the focus a lot. Nice going Marty!

[@entombedsh4dw_]

Ive been waiting for this video since you teased it on facebook! Thanks for the info! Now to make my own!!

[@mlevesque33]

You are really talented at making stuff.

[@mrhunt9807]

you're DIY stuff is great keep up the good work

[@michaelprevost1229]

What a great channel.I just got a 11.5 angler your channel will be very helpful great job

[@extremephillyfishing]

Man...you are such a handyman, Marty! I envy you for that. Lol. Tight lines!

[@MG956_]

That's a very good idea! Thanks for sharing brother.. 2 thumbs up.👍🏻👍🏻

[@mikejd1364]

Excellent, ty. Now I need an adjustable articulating extender to put the rod in front of me. Great idea for your next video.

[@gremlin42079]

yay!! diy vid!! thank you, Marty. its been a lil while.

[@landonmann9696]

Nice video I have a kayak and we have to put stuff on it and I watch your videos to learn :)

[@TroyboyQUE]

Awesome Marty,,, you amaze me. Tight Lines.

[@FrankieDeanFishing]

You make it look so easy. Awesome video

[@Conrad_97]

Nice to know I fish in all the same areas as you and I even went down that one really thin strip u did in that one video last year

[@shanedavis3158]

that was very informational thank you again and keep it up

[@alekcarlino8975]

Nice vid Marty!

[@wordtokyle]

Caddyshack reference was a nice touch

[@pinefloatoutdoors]

really neat idea. I think another way to get all of the notches into the pvc that might be less involved would be to boil the pvc in water. this will make it very pliable. then you should just be able to push the rod holder down into the pvc which will make its own notches. anyway, I will definitely keep this idea in mind. great video marty.

[@zoffinger]

Now that is a cool idea...

[@foreverfishing7423]

+zoffinger did you remember to treat the leather so it doesn't dissolve

[@TheEarnan]

+Alexander Hosein I was gonna ask how does the leather hold up in the salt water conditions?

[@buns52557]

That's Pretty genius nice Job

[@johnthomas5355]

loved the blues bothers quote!!

[@trevorhall9524]

[@56Axis]

very cool, Marty!! :)

[@justinhewitt744]

You are awesome man🙂

[@davidbalboa6954]

Very very handy.

[@fuzzmiller3747]

Dig the MENSA lid Marty. You a member? I would believe it. Pretty cool. Love the low profile. I don't have enough flat gunwale to attach a "regular" Scotty. Great idea! Thanks for sharing.

[@patboy1739]

How did you become such a genius at DIY projects??

[@RedfishInc]

Lol, very cool , someone has lots of time on their hands.

[@Chag2point0]

Very crafty of you

[@hakanozgor9417]

Nice job bro

[@fangelaguilera8688]

love your video, Thank youu

[@TheTaterbug3]

Just heat up the pipe and push in the rod holder then pull it out before it cools fast easy and it works

[@Atomic_shawty]

I like your pony tail😍

[@Azuhlke01]

Marty you should do some more freshwater fishing!

[@xJINCHOx]

Hey, could you set out on a mission? I don't know about the rest of your subscribers, but I would totally love to see you catch a Silver King! One Tarpon, I'm sure that would be exiting and something to remember for the rest of your life :)

[@RobbsHomemadeLife]

Thumbs up Marty!

[@BAKERHUSKIE]

Really nice

[@tollesbury1]

Good job !!

[@PIOCHENV]

"Glue Strong stuff" Elwood Blues

[@steveibershof625]

You must use primer on PVC. You must primer both PVC fittings. The reason for primer is to clean the surfaces to allow the glue to adhere 100%. Now, primer comes in clear. Glue comes in clear also.

[@johnmcook1]

I would have used a male fitting up top with a peace of pvc pipe inside and a female with cap on the bottom . But very cool project i dig it .

[@MrTatts64]

Nice one Marty!! That "hyper-precise measuring equipment" of yours must cost a fortune! I really don't know how you manage to afford such equipment mate ;)

[@boomblablapoofpoof6737]

He works and in the weekend he fishes and works on the boat

[@ronaldfrancovegaii5248]

brilliant!

[@Prince.royal-043]

I like it

[@SKUNKPROOF]

'somewhat tedious' rofl love ya man

[@jamesmartin2552]

+Cameron Ballantine I'm guessing you're from Australia (me too) but they don't have the same flathead as us. They don't have dusky's or southern blue spots, they have flathead catfish in USA.

[@nicoadair27]

zoffinger you should make a video of how you started your fishing channel and tips for beginners

[@zackjohnson9432]

I'm a simple man I see a zoffinger video, I press like

[@goodtimesports1284]

Great video Marty, I love your DIY videos very creative and detailed. I do have a question for you a little off topic, when you catch a fish do you bleed them out first to get the gamey taste out before you felt them? If so how do you do it. Thanks

[@xbnvdsx]

Depending on the species i do, mainly heavy boned fishes like drum or sheeps...

[@guyh.4553]

Oh wow! Stupidly simple! Great Scotty mount idea! I had to laugh though. You cut the nub with snub nose pliers.... all the while you have a Dremel with a cut off wheel on it. 😁😁😁😁

[@hernanenriquez1804]

Genious!

[@jimdye7431]

once you move on to the boat full time ware and how are you going to do all your diy projects?

[@jacobcow111]

Marty can you do more boat vlogs?

[@jakedelhomme9441]

Seriously, nice example of spatial thinking. I bet you've also solved the Rubik's Cube; at least once...lol.

[@808strykr]

Genius 😆

[@silverdrex7618]

cool

[@doncook3690]

I’m trying your Scotty mount diy but the 3/4” pvc doesn’t fit over rod holder. Did you use schedule 40? Did you increase the inside size of the pipe? Maybe Scotty has reengineered their products to be larger then the inside dimensions of 3/4” pvc.

[@brumaza]

thansk for the video, how is the 3M 77 glue holding up?

[@zoffinger]

Surprisingly good so far.

[@sufferedenuf]

Ok. So I have the base in my kayak but the previous owner lost the rod holders. 😩 How can I make a holder that fits into the base? That would be a great video 😊

[@robertahlholm6412]

genius

[@srok62]

Nice job Marty. I'm quite sure you already know but.... Them were stainless screws right?

[@faceless0ne1]

Why do i feel like ferris bueller is teaching me how to do this

[@fordperfect1227]

um.... epoxy does not stick permanently to PVC. That's why there is PVC glue. that little knob will fall off on first use. looks like a fun day and the kind of messing around I do, before buying the actual item after I fail. :)

[@cameronballantine1993]

Can you go flathead fishing on soft plastics

[@floridaflyfishing3457]

I saw your truck at the canal Saturday how did you do? we took the job boat out on the Alafia and got a couple trout and one nice red. all arties

[@zoffinger]

Got me a little redfish and some float time with a friend.

[@effyoo6081]

never heard of a "cup link" thought it was a coupling

[@lmazcraz]

Big hitter, The Lama.........long!

[@akocbombie]

Really 15 thumbs down!!! This is a very good idea.

[@tonyl4010]

Damn Marty, is there a left thumbnail "what not to do" video?

[@phishitaac]

do agree that crustacean eating fish taste the best,especially if u eat alot of fish ?

[@Fiendsandfamily]

+PHISHIT saltwater yea but not freshwater

[@phishitaac]

sry one last question ,ive done boat living with a jack russle named mullet, u have full sized dogs,and at your best u know thats not ideal
