EVERYTHING Pedal Assist Fishing Kayak OldTown Sportsman Bigwater 132 ePDL+

[@Finch08]

This boat looks awesome but my wife will never be convinced at that price lol.

[@ALIEXKAYAKTEST]

3 reasons why she should say yes 1. Hey honey this kayak will keep me safe out there I got the motor to help me in case I get in trouble 2. It is going to allow me to fish more waters, catch more fish 3. This in turn will make me happier and happy husband happy life right ? Haha

I’ll wait til this comes out for the PDL Sportsman 106….hopefully the price won’t be 6 thousand dollars!!

[@ALIEXKAYAKTEST]

by current pricing it should be $5200 but i hope it is way other that who knows really, maybe they won't do it

Hey Aliex, I am now subscribed to this channel too. Bet you never had this question. I don't see anyone talking about in regards to the electric cable between the kayak and the ePDL. I believe you own an Auto Pilot and must have used the die-electric grease that Old Town supplies. Since you are in contact with Ryan from Old Town, and without me having an installation manual in front of me, what is Ryan's recommendation for applying the die-electric grease, knowing die-electric grease is an insulator and not a conductor. Web search for die-electric grease in general reads only at the outer mechanical connection to prevent moisture, and some recommend loading it up everywhere, including on the electrical metal contacts. As I mentioned in your other channel, I am about to receive an ePDL 132 and want to get it right from the get go.

hey man, I just used the grease it came with, sorry about the late response, i have been using mine for months, cable gets wet with saltwater, no issues yet

[@Wirenutby]

Hey Alex, I agree 100% on using the dielectric grease supplied by old town. My question is of how you as a pro use it. Do you put it on the metal electrical contacts themselves or do you simply plug the cable into the socket and then just put it around the gap to prevent water from entering the socket?

Yep great kayak... For sure... Looks awesome. I love it. That price tag, ummm nope, hard pass. I love old town, i own 4 of them, i stick with old town cuz i like them so much. But at that price, cant do it.

[@ALIEXKAYAKTEST]

Lots of dollars forsho

On a calm day how would you feel about taking this into deep water? Recently retired and wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a deep water ocean kayak if such a thing exists.

[@ALIEXKAYAKTEST]

It is built for big water, the boat will be fine as long as you keep your center of gravity, don't lean to the sides too much

What’s better that old town or a hobie PA 14

[@ALIEXKAYAKTEST]

Hmm, it depends, but I personally prefer this over a Hobie 360 for sure. A regular Hobie PA14? It depends on how I want to use it. If I want a bow-mounted GPS trolling motor, I might take the PA14. For fishing offshore? 100% this one. If I could only have one kayak and I want to fish with my bow-mounted trolling motor, the PA would have to do. Otherwise, this one. It's a hard decision, lol. If you say PA14 vs Autopilot 12... I mean, Autopilot any day. It's just that the Bigwater isn't my favorite.

Was that “Larry” making a cameo?

[@ALIEXKAYAKTEST]

He was part of the private unveil event

[@senmokjai9123]

[@ALIEXKAYAKTEST]

not at this time

[@h2oslider242]

Does the epdl unit still float?

[@ALIEXKAYAKTEST]

it should float. The console should keep it up near the surface so long as its air tight

[@jwalker497]
