[@nickher83853]

I am definitely getting it.. your videos are solid.. thank you VERY much for the content

[@summertonfishing119]

Thanks so much for watching.....it's definitely worth it!

[@FoolisH409]

Been waiting to see you finally test this out, I’ve got an Outlaw and I’m so jealous, if only my wife could understand how much I need the xi3 for mine 😂

[@summertonfishing119]

Lol I think I just annoyed my wife to the point of letting me get it 😄 it's definitely a game changer!

[@FoolisH409]

@@summertonfishing119 noted, I am indeed working on that! Haha

[@nickher83853]

How are you keeping the water from flowing in from the scupper holes... I'm doing this at as I'm watching... your videos are super informative.. thank you

[@summertonfishing119]

They bubble a bit but i dont get alot of water coming up at all it stay pretty dry. I dont bother pluging the holes because sometimes im in some crazy weather and you want the water to escape fast.Thanks so much for watching.. tight lines 🎣

Not sure you knew this but they don't recommend going lower than 50% depth of discharge on deep cycle lead acid batteries or it begins to lose capacity. I know you didn't go that low on this trip.

Great video. I have a XI3 on my sons kayak but he is going to pick his kayak up when he gets out of the Marine Corps. So I will have my motor but no boat. Where did you get the mount for yours, thanks?

[@summertonfishing119]

I picked mine up on Amazon i found it was the best price. I believe it was $100 canadian. Thanks for watching

[@edrosenquist6541]

What fish finder would you recommend for your kayak?

[@summertonfishing119]

I have the garmi striker 5cv its done me well for the last 3 years. But looking to upgrade to the garmin 9cv

[@hectortop777]

I'm very curious about the spot lock, did you try it? How is GPS anchor performace on the outlaw 11.5?

[@summertonfishing119]

It was absolutely amazing.. .I did my tournament 2 weeks ago and fished a river with really strong current. I didn't move an inch

[@elizabethmarcum1456]

I’d pay you to set mine up. Too bad I’m in the states.

[@Danxiong]

Is there any jerky movement with the spot lock?

[@summertonfishing119]

Only if you have the speed high when you switch to spotlock and then go to move again... It remembers your last setting so just make sure you turn down the speed first

[@NuFishin]

What is that bag on the side of your seat?

[@summertonfishing119]

They are called chromacast bags off of Amazon. A fraction of the price of the perception bags and a perfect fit

[@johnguth5376]

What is with the kilometers instead of m.p.h.?!
