Old Town Sportsman 106/120 PDL Anchor Wizard Adapter Kit Install

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

HA, I guess I didn't edit out that first part - This was take two but I restarted so it would be as thorough as possible.

[@k_sr20]

This is awesome Nick. You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for a bow mount solution; excited to see what NKF comes up with!

[@lux22g0tt.alg0]

Was out on the Texas gulf coast fishing in the marshes (20mph winds) . Stopped for a bit to take a quick lunch and drifted off into the weeds. Definitely ordering this product soon. Thanks Nick!

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

It happens! Let me know if you have any questions.

[@davidellis940]

As usual Nick you continue to deliver needed solutions. Love this product especially as I hated the way I was having to use my Anchor Wizard on my PDL120. Thanks for being accessible last Fall with a different issue installing the replacement rudder!!!!

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Thanks, David. Let me know if you have any questions.

[@woodsandwater123]

I'm not sure if this was mentioned or not, but I used a 13/64" drill bit to do the holes in the base plate and that size hole fit the long screws perfectly. Great piece of engineering that should work with the NKF anchor stick mount to keep me stationary in one position for spring crappie fishing in the shallows this year. Can't wait...thanks!

[@DetroitFishigan]

Very very nicely done guy's 👏 👍. Until the next one ✌🏽 Nick

[@chrismorgan3886]

Great work. Can’t wait for the bow mount! 👏👏👏

[@livenhfree]

14:20. The "weight of the rudder" to pull the cord through? Did you mean the weight of the anchor? Love that brushed handle! They need to make an electric version. :-)

[@timdoll6718]

Great job as always Nick . The Anchor Wizard is one of my favorite accessories. I have 2 on my MK106. 1 for an anchor on the starboard side and another on the port side for my Yakgadget Quick Stop generic power pole . They both work perfect without the hassle and clutter of rope

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Sounds like a good setup, Tim.

[@travisthayer7159]

Very cool! I’ve been thinking about getting one

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

It’s a pretty cool system.

[@patleonard4978]

How do you deal with the clusters of weeds that accumulate on the anchor

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Everyone’s going to use a different anchor, fish in a different location, and have a different solution. First step is to simply avoid dropping it into large clusters of weeds.

[@nicknadeau5538]

Do you have to replace the rod holder though? Or can I just install it on the exciting track to avoid any drilling??

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

You can install it on a track as well.

[@carpsalad]

I bought the kit for the 106mk and it did not come with the plate for the rear. Only the front piece?

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

The shallow water anchor screws are already straight on the 106MK. The rear plate in this video straightens the system out. Your kit doesn’t include the rear plate - it’s not needed. That’s why it’s cheaper than the other kits.

[@carpsalad]

@@NavarreKayakFishingok thank you. Just making sure I wasn’t missing something.

[@crs1012]

Awesome! Cool to see that you are a dealer for them too. What do you recommend for routing the anchor line around that back rod holder? Maybe a pad eye to bring the line to the outside of the rod holder, towards the water?

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

I plan to tinker with that and it will be included with the kit down the road. Had a ton of people who were emailing about the item and sent a few out already. Needed the install video uploaded so they could watch.

[@51ddb]

Is there an alternative mounting location? I really don’t want to lose my forward facing rod holder. Thanks

[@johnzach8528]

I was thinking the exact same thing, that's definitely my most useful rod holder right there

[@Tongher-uv8qv]

Hi what is that plate call before you mount your anchor on.

[@RobertRedix]

Buddy I recently purchased the kit for without risers and have found out I need risers to help with my back issues, what do I need to do without buying another setup for a seat with risers? Thanks in advance 🤘🏽

[@vibinwithlou8261]

Do you by chance sell just the front adapter plate with riser and hardware for the Sportsman 120PDL? I already have the Navarre t-track rear plate that holds the anchor wizard and my 360 light/flag pole

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Send me an email and we will get a solution worked out.

[@PrairieSask]

Hey Nick, if there's a rod in the back facing rod holder, does it interfer with &/or create wear/friction on the anchor line?

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

We’ve never had that issue in the past. It is possible though.

[@justinbarnes2606]

I want a mount so that I don't have to give up my forward facing rod holder

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

That forward facing rod holder isn’t exactly in the best location depending on what notch your seat is locked into.

[@johngoss3997]

Same here, the forward-facing rod holder works really well for me. BUT I'm thinking I might instead install the Navarre handle mount replacement, and mount a rod holder onto that and have it act as the forward-facing rod holder for when I'm changing lures. I did a DIY for the Anchor Wizard crank on my 106PDL using a couple GT-175 Gen II tracks placed (sorta) side-by-side, but space is limited and the crank sits at an awkward angle. Just a thought.

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

I’ll make a video showing how I normally store a forward facing rod as well. Everyone does it a bit different.

[@johnzach8528]

How long is the rope on the Anchor Wizard?

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

45’

[@GondolaFishing]

Why can’t you put it between the steering shaft and that pole holder?

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

You could. You’d just have to drill holes into the kayak and the line would more than likely go over the rod holder.

[@GondolaFishing]

How do you do it with the riser? None of the hardware makes any sense.

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Did you get this resolved? It should be extremely simple. If not, send me an email and we will get you squared away.

[@bubbabarrett4581]

Nick what if i have the high profile anchor wizard on a 106 powered by minn kota ? Asking specifically for the rear mount not the front mount ….i do not have seat risers on my 106MK Thanks brother

What’s your turnaround time in shipping? I’m in Texas . Thanks in advance 🤘🏽

So just one screw goes into the kayak, and it goes in the hole that's already there?

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Three screws go into the kayak into the holes that already exist.

Hey nick, I have a sportsman 120 pdl and I'm looking to get a anchor wizard. However, I don't want to get rid of my front rod holder as I use it A LOT. Got any solutions for that?

[@stjester]

its possible to install in in the front of the boat?

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

That’s in work.

[@tracyrodrick2393]

I'll buy that mount as well. Since the back is easy on and off

[@tommyhighhook3689]

Hey Nick, I'm currently using an anchor trolley for my anchor. It helps keeping me positioned in a certain direction. If I buy the anchor wizard and mount it on the bow or the stern, how does this affect boat position? negative or positive Thanks

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Tommy, it will either allow you to point directly into the current or directly down current. Not as many options as the trolley.

[@nonamecoats8123]

Is that the low profile or regular sized anchor wizard?

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

It’s the low profile version.

[@backontheyak]

I take that this doesnt work for the big water 132?

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

This one doesn’t but we will make it happen.
