Installing a Fishfinder On My OldTown Autopilot 120 Fishing Kayak!

[@dinoharrison5138]

Hi Josh, a little installer trick for those that don't have a bamboo pole is to use a wire coat hanger. I have a variety of lengths with my tools. They work really well. Be Well and God Bless ✝

[@Saltyscales]

That would work just fine, my wife updated all of our hangers to these fancy things. Now I can't break them or I get in trouble lmao!

[@stephanietaylor7928]

That kayak is the mack daddy of fishing kayaks, I have to get one! ;) Love that shirt too!

[@Saltyscales]

You should 👀

[@dd214fishing]

Great video man wish you the best in that beast of a yak. They are nice

[@jelly_fishing]

Hi josh did you use the replacement brackets that allow you to guide the cables without crushing them? Nice video

[@rubenakacoolerlid2314]

Looks good I actually went with the scupper hole transducer mount from Navarre kayaks and it keeps the transducer out of the way

[@Saltyscales]

Those work perfectly. 👍

Please do a video on how you set up your battery (cable attachments)

[@currentelectricllc.2923]

Hey man if you don’t mind can you share the Maui Jim’s model you are wearing in this video thanks man

[@jsamkin9233]

There is an adaptor that comes with the kayak with small holes for the wires to go through. Just swap out the 3 screw covers

[@Saltyscales]

You are correct, however I misplaced mine.

[@currentelectricllc.2923]

What sunglasses brand and model and neck strap are you using on this video and do you have same glasses but different colors on other videos thanks keep up the good work God Bless

[@jmmart4]

Do they make a shorter one to change it out. I have a Lowrance with side scan and the transducer is long.

[@trevorneff4946]

With the transducer being so long, Does the trolling motor interfere with the signals?

[@smokinjoes9383]

Josh, thanks for sharing the video! Quick question what is you’re trolling motor setup? Thanks

[@Outdoors_nomad_life]

A simple google old town autopilot will give you the answer

[@urbanfishingtv]

What screws did you use to mount the fish finder into the Yakattack plate?

[@jdonowa3]

Hello can you please put a link for hydra mount please. Thanks

[@dewlove404]

I have the Larance FS elite 9 fish finder can you direct me in the right bracket and mount to connect to my old town 136

[@RadReelingFishing]

Always enjoyable to watch. I'm not sure how to say this, you may have done this incorrect, but perhaps you had a reason to. Why didn't you use the foam inserts to seal around the wires to make the install water proof and also use the additional wire caps provided in the tackle tray that are made to fit around the wires instead of pinching the wires?

[@Saltyscales]

Hey JC, you are correct but I misplaced my other caps. the foam inserts can't be used with this wire because it's very thick. I water tested it, no water gets in anywhere and she works so I am rolling with it lol.

[@RadReelingFishing]

@@Saltyscales I figured there was some sort of reason. I hope to see you landing some keeper grouper in the kayak soon!

[@Obxhatman]

Those little squares in between the screws on that triangle are meant to be broke off for each wire you are running. That way when you screw the plate down , you do not pinch the hell out of the wires.

[@terrysabin4120]

Actually that not correct either. The boat comes with new triangle covers with the notches already in them . They are in the clear tackle box that comes with the boat.

[@Obxhatman]

@@terrysabin4120 yeah , i dug up some old stuff and found those , so eh , lol , that is right

[@CaptChrisCanning]

That thing is huge bro! I can’t wait to watch you accidentally hit that thing in the water 💀 That would be what I do

[@Saltyscales]

Always wishing me failure lol. Only you put things in the drink, we all know that lol. 🤣

[@Fishingwithdaboys]

The 7 people that hit thumbs down 👎 seriously 😒 !!! This video is awesome !!

[@jacksonhamblin6372]

When are we gonna see that beautiful new boat in a video
