I am already planning to purchase the bow mount. I fish pretty much all lakes and being able to stand and operate wirless is awesome! Thank you for all your innovation! Can't wait to fish my first tournament with it.

[@OneObjective]

Thank you for watching! Can’t wait to see your kayak rigged out.

[@ChowTY42]

I just bought a trolling motor mount for my Bote Tandem Kayak and should have researched videos first on where to mount. I installed it on my stern and directing my kayak is not the best when trying to travel straight. Luckily I bought rod holders with the same pads. I’ll now add the new pads to the front and make mine bow mounted. Thank you for this video!!!

[@andreashollander4648]

Bow mount in my opinion is better in a river ( or sea) with current for holding position. Of course flow coming from the front. in fact I redesigned (the mount ) a stern mount motor to put up front so it came cheap and use hand steering (very precise) with two ropes. Foot steering might be even better for hands free. Was able to stand still in front of a pier with strong current and catch a lot of fish while other boats where not able to do that.

[@Sanctified_EDC_Gear]

Great Points, I'm coming from years on a Skeeter & Ranger Bass Boat so like you guys The Bow mount Trolling and standing is like being at home. The Big Motor/Merc got me to my spots and when I was working Pounts ,Banks, Or Structure out in Open water the Trolling Motor is the way to go. Having a Stern and Bow Mount would be the Perfect setup if one needs it or can afford it. For me I'll most likely stick with the Bow Mount. Thanks One Objective 😎👍

[@OneObjective]

Thank you for watching. I’m glad we were able to help you out. The bow mount setup is hard to beat.

[@jerrykrobby]

Need to make sure your kayak can handle the weight of a bow mount. I know the 2020 Hobie Outbacks don't handle well with a lot of extra weight on the front of the kayak.

[@nelsongenao8826]

That's a sweet looking stern set up for the trolling motor and the micro pole

[@OneObjective]

Thanks we make them also you can check them out at oneobjectivebf.com

[@maxcole3930]

Mounts & gear is still super cool! I just don't understand why a Motor on a peddle yak? Makes more sense to put one on a regular sit on top with no pedal drive & save 4000 bucks!!!

[@OneObjective]

Some guys put the motor on to get to point A - point B then use the peddle drive. Also some events you can only peddle or paddle. So they take the motor off. And then can still peddle. But put the motor back on for other events.

[@Pescador2022]

Thank you for the educational video. Bow Mount for me too. Why make it more complicated.

[@NiteWolfeFishing]

Ideally i would run both. But i want to comment about the having to sit down to steer if your run a rear mount. I run a side tiller arm with the speed control on the tiller arm. I have a 2 position rest for the side arm. A high and a low. So when iam standing i put the side arm in the high position so its right at my hand while iam standing. I can control speed and steer while standing just fine.

Love to see a Bow Mount Bracket for a Old Town Sportsman 10.6 PDL.

[@dangelojustus3337]

pro tip: watch series on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.

[@raylanamir3359]

@Dangelo Justus definitely, have been watching on Flixzone} for since december myself :D

[@marvintadeo3139]

@Dangelo Justus Definitely, been watching on Flixzone} for months myself =)

[@kaseezekiel4321]

@Dangelo Justus Definitely, been using Flixzone} for since december myself :)

[@jeremyandy8330]

@Dangelo Justus Yea, I have been using Flixzone} for months myself :D

[@maxcole3930]

I've been kayak fishing for 6 yrs now, started with 2015 PA 12 now I have PA12 360. I don't understand why guys buying peddle driven kayaks & then putting trolling motors on them? Wouldn't you save yourself alot $ & put a trolling motor on a sit on top none peddle yak? Could save up to 4,000 bucks! On the set up! Plus then they need a trailer & are no longer have quick easy launch & able to get into remote un-pressured waters easily. To each their own! But I don't get it? U might as well have a little john boat if u need a trailer...

[@OneObjective]

For the trailer. It’s easier to unload and load a kayak if you got it fully rigged. And not waste a lot of time putting on and taking off all your stuff. And you can’t use a jon boat in kayak tournaments so it’s wouldn’t be useful for some.

[@mrcheeky13]

I would also add for those of us fishing large bodies of water or running 4 to 5 miles out to a fishing spot, having the peddles for a back up would definitely save you some time and shoulder aches. I live around the Outer Banks in NC and the Chesapeake Bay in VA, so there are quite a few folks that make those runs on the regular. I am having a self debate about this very subject for buying a new kayak whether to get a paddle and motor or peddle and motor. The extra money could mean the difference between getting home just after dark or the following day.

[@Altered.Angler]

I used to feel the exact same way. Been kayak fishing about 7 years now started with an Ascned FS1(paddle) But i also bought a trailer for my first ascend fs12t non peddle driver so having a trailer is any kayak and vehicle combo that each person is running. As for reaching shallow and hard areas my neighbor (i dont have a trolling motor.. yet lol) still brings his peddles for those tight and shallow area but also incase the motor fails or battery dies so the versatility of the kayak is still maintained. And with getting older having both options keeps getting more and more appealing 😅

[@markwaddell8167]

How you tried mounting a spot lock unit on the stern? If so, how did it work

[@PeterRanieriII]

Wondering the same thing

[@sk8thenp8nt]

I would want to see that as well

[@sk8thenp8nt]

You could off set it to the side the way they off set them on bass boats

[@mwcarr6759]

Going to do just that, this weekend on a SW125 with a non gps 36inch 55lb Xi3.

[@NickGoesTrucking]

Would LOVEEEE if you guys created a wildness systems mounting plate. Only reason I haven't purchased a xi3 yet 😢

[@lukebazan1320]

can you use and xi3 on the rear of a kayak?

[@Cooper260]

I’ve got a sea ghost 110 the transducer is in the bow of the boat it sets up in a space the manufacturer built into the boat for this covered with a plastic screen. Works great. I want to put the xi 3 on the bow of my boat. My question is would the turbulence produced by the trolling motor mess up the signal sent by the transducer. Any advice would be appreciated.

[@ericstone7607]

I have a side mount and other than the weight on on side the 2ft reach up from a seated position is not a problem. I fish from a tandem pescador. if stability wasn't an issue I could do both with the position of my handle and I can with my out riggers ish. so what about a reach up mount for a back mount.

[@stanmanmedia]

Great video

[@mwcarr6759]

Going to put a Xi3 non gps 36 inch 55lb on the stern this weekend. Shear water 125

[@shootincoyotes]

I've been thinking of a stern mounted one on Perception Outlaw 11.5

[@ohmslawk8693]

how did it work out?

[@L61cavalier]

Do a video on shearwater vs bonafide

[@Captain_Kdawg]

Has any one had personal experience with putting the xi3 on the stern of the kayak? It so how does the spot lock do?

[@OneObjective]

We haven’t we had several people ask about it. But we have never tried it.

[@jlbaxe]

Can you clamp a rear trolling motor and just use your rudder to steer? Hobie PA-14. I have your front mount installed waiting on a minn Kota Terrova. 🤘😎🤘

[@thebear1974]

Can you give us an idea what bow mount plates you are working on in the near future? What's your timeline? I'm buying a new kayak in the spring and I'd like to see what is available by then. Thanks

[@OneObjective]

You can give use a call when you get ready to buy and we will be glade to tell you all the ones we have our are working on at that time.

[@blnkstefaans6892]

Hey Josh, maybe any plans for a Recon 120 bow mount?

[@terrypelfrey250]

why can't you mount the bow mount motor on the stern. all you would have to do is turn the control head 180 degrees on the shaft

[@f.a.r.outdoors6094]

Do you make them for a shadow caster

[@JohnDoe-xf8nr]

If I was to run stern and Bow i’d have to run Stern electric bow gas

[@tystick22]

Are you guys working on anything for the shearwater 125?

[@OneObjective]

Let’s just say it shouldn’t be long

[@LSMasonFoundas]

Couldn't you just run something like an MG Xi3 off the stern with a wireless remote that tracks and has spot lock etc...?

[@OneObjective]

The spot lock motor setup for the stern isn’t as affective. Especially in current. The bow of the boat will turn around on you. If you have it in the front. Bow will always face up stream

[@fishing-adventures]

How much does a bow set up cost for a Titan 12?

[@jonathanlapointe6262]

How about sidesaddle bow-mount does that give you the best of both worlds better steering and it will still kick up in the event of hitting something?

[@tyyangyang6475]

you can just put a xi3 on the rear and be hands free as well.. lol

[@chriscabral4342]

bow mount so much less work going down a shoreline of tulles Flippin and pitching into pockets...

[@OneObjective]

Yes when working the shore line. Bow mount is the way to go

[@minwootc]

Could you mount the bow mounted motor on the back of the kayak? Why could you not?

[@adamalma2945]

Where the hell do I get to rear troling motor attachment?

[@OneObjective]

You can order everything on oneobjectivebf.com look under motor mounts

[@matthewlidrich2030]

I'm calling you on bull shit. Bow mount on a kayak will always be better. More control and less effort on pulling motor up.

[@OneObjective]

Yes but depends on where you run it. I’m one for a bow mount also. But when running a shallow river with a lot of current. It’s no good. And will break something.
