Old Town Sportsman AutoPilot 120 | Rigged (Spring 2021)

[@isoplus3513]

Just stopping by to say thank you for your videos. I've purchased a 'Sportsman 106/Minn Kota' after watching your videos and came back from its maiden voyage verrrrry impressed. Sold my outback right after. Keep up the good work!!! Liked and subbed.

[@BlueSummitOutdoors]

Thanks I really appreciate it! I’m glad you like the 106 MK it’s a pretty awesome boat.

[@Redcrown48]

Liked the setup. I hang a hydration pack on my seat for taking water swigs.The cart setup looks great, i might try that in the future. I have the FPV system for controlling all the electrical and that is run from 17AH battery. The main batteries are a pair of FPV 12v 50ahr that are strictly used for the motor. i used ocean scupper valves, they work great.

[@BobBohner4851]

Thanks. I got three ideas….. i thought i was done outfitting lol

[@glennsowacke9752]

Awesome video! I have the 136 love and still upgrading it!

[@BlueSummitOutdoors]

Thanks! Awesome boat!

@@BlueSummitOutdoors any videos of the landing gear install? Have mine here and have no idea where to start. Any clearance issues with the paddle?

[@anthonyvespia6662]

Beautiful vessel. I saved and saved, because I'm not upgrading. Wanted a kayak, that has everything for covering water, stability, hands free, and with all the $$ I've spent, not going to lose money, for a whole new setup. Been on the bank all my life. Have allot of my own mods, and addons, as we all do.on Now I can go to lakes in 3 states around me, camp trip with friend's, etc. I did just recieve my last biggest toy. My Bixpy J2 motor. Whatever yak I bought was getting that bixpy anyway. But for the extra battery, knowing, I'll always get home. I'll use my bixpy on 3/4 speed, from spot to spot, and then use my Minn-kota. I think it's the best kayak period. I know there's no perfect kayak, but this boat is pretty close..Be safe bro.🎣🤟😁🙏

Great video. Do you run all your electronics (motor, fish finder, lights) from your 100AH battery, and have you ever run out of juice?

[@jglnyc6999]

Thank you very much for the informative video. Very detailed. I just purchased the auto pilot 120 and it’s being delivered next week. I was fortunate to find one as they go quick. My question is, is it hard running the wires through the kayak for your lights and fishfinder? It looks like there’s limited access and it would be a real pain to snake the wires through. Do you have a video on doing that?

[@jglnyc6999]

lol. Never mind I just found one of your videos that shows how to wire the kayak. Thanks.

[@BlueSummitOutdoors]

No problem. Thanks for watching!

[@rubenakacoolerlid2314]

I just got my Autopilot, I'm curious on those scupper plugs I looking for something similar?

[@BlueSummitOutdoors]

I ordered them directly from old town on their website.

[@Adventures101.]

Do you have an actual video of you moving around your kayak with The Boondocks landing gear and also entering and exiting the water showing in detail how it works and how easy it is on autopilot 120

[@BlueSummitOutdoors]

I don’t think I do but the Boonedox is definitely the best option as far as carts go. It’s still heavy but way easier to use than other carts.

[@Adventures101.]

@@BlueSummitOutdoors yeah I get it but I want to see an actual video on the actual autopilot 120 . If you don't mind next time you go in maybe you can make a video of launching and retrieving if not don't worry about it I'll find somebody eventually thank you

[@joinjoshoutdoors5866]

Not going to lie that looks really nice. And I'm planning on getting me one after I graduate and it did give me some ideas. Appreciate it. Do you have a video of it on the water at all?

[@BlueSummitOutdoors]

Yea I have an on the first impressions video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4a9eX9poa2crJY Also here is a playlist with all the videos on the Autopilot 120 so far: kzbin.info/aero/PLc0Kg9Xj7LYlZrQTTJxhjhOFY57PdT_BV

[@jorgericocalderon7353]

I just bought my grandson and Old Town 120 and this video is great to future work on it. What is the battery that you were using to powered it up? Gracias

[@BlueSummitOutdoors]

Awesome! The battery I use is the Amped Outdoors 100ah lithium battery.

[@jorgericocalderon7353]

Thanks Love your videos ♥️🎣

[@KainOutdoors]

Nice setup.

[@BlueSummitOutdoors]

Thanks!

[@mikecampbell7412]

I saw you had a yak with the front button lights for NAV lights and see you have the strip lights on this one which one did you like better i’m on the process of doing this the trip lights on back order

[@BlueSummitOutdoors]

Yea I liked the strip a little better. I think it’s easier for other people to see.

[@abe4755]

What brand thru-hull wiring cap did you replace the factory one with for your fish finder. Other than expanding the main hole did you have to drill new holes to screw in the new cap

[@BlueSummitOutdoors]

I used the Hobie Thru Hulls 3 way plug there is no backing just 3 screws and a seal. Here's the amazon links amzn.to/3GCVFvw

[@shakes1227]

Did you build that stand for your yak? I was thinking about making some saw horses

[@BlueSummitOutdoors]

Yea I built it, saw horses work great that’s what I used before I built mine.

[@mdgins]

Do you get interference on the fish finder from the motor. Thinking of getting the sportsman 120 ap and this is a concern and I've seen this complaint. Thanks.

[@BlueSummitOutdoors]

Only when they are both connected to the same battery at least that's my experience with it.

[@kentcarbaugh832]

What are the dimensions of your cart?

[@sgroggy]

What wiring cap are you using to feed your fish finder power and transducer cables through?

[@BlueSummitOutdoors]

Hobie 3-way through hull

[@sgroggy]

@@BlueSummitOutdoors Thanks!

[@rubenakacoolerlid2314]

Hey do you have a video on the Bonedox landing gear?

[@BlueSummitOutdoors]

Not yet but I’ll probably make one soon, it has been a common question lately. So I’ll probably just run through and show everyone how I installed it.

[@casperonacid_main]

Also what scupper plugs are those? They look nice!

[@BlueSummitOutdoors]

They are the ones found on old towns website

[@steviejcsc84]

Hey man! Great boat! I’m looking for those scupper plugs, but not seeing them on old towns site. Are they the PDL valves?

[@garrett4990]

nice mods, I just bought mine in virginia also. How much of a pain was it to register and title the yak?

[@BlueSummitOutdoors]

Not terrible just takes a few weeks to get it back in the mail unless you do it in person.

Are you out considering an anchor trolley ? Nice video

[@BlueSummitOutdoors]

Yea I have an anchor wizard and may add a trolly soon.

[@jeffreydunglam2919]

Hello, I have the same Autopilot 120, I found the motor is not power enough for strong wind. I'm using 12V100Amh Lithuim battery. Do you have the power issue ?

[@BlueSummitOutdoors]

No issues for me just have to know the limits of the kayak and be safe. If you are looking for more power Torqeedo seems to be a more powerful motor.

[@MrPat1953]

Thank you, very informative video

[@BlueSummitOutdoors]

No problem 👍

[@casperonacid_main]

Are you running everything off your amped? I have basically the same setup but I have fish finder and lights and Puck going to another battery. After a full day of fishing my amped is still at like 80% so was thinking of running it all to it.

[@BlueSummitOutdoors]

I am now currently. I wasn’t at the time of this video.

[@casperonacid_main]

@@BlueSummitOutdoors how'd you run that? Spliced into the existing plug?

[@fulllifeadventures]

How are you liking the boonedox system? also is that the standard one? planning one getting it when the 120AP comes in, Thank you!

[@BlueSummitOutdoors]

Loving it! I think its the heavy duty backing plate its the metal 8 or 9 inch backing plate.

[@fulllifeadventures]

@@BlueSummitOutdoors right on! Yeah I was wondering what size I should get, because some people say that it cracks the yak, thank you!

[@BlueSummitOutdoors]

The longer the backing plate the better. I think the 8 or 9 inch are as big as you can go and still fit.

[@fulllifeadventures]

@@BlueSummitOutdoors good to know, I’ll let you know how it goes👌🏼

[@gregneer7161]

Curious to know whether the front end is heavy when pulling with boonedox located that far aft. Looking to add to my 120 but was thinking closer to CG although the location you've mounted yours appears to provide more backing area without sacrificing rod holders.

[@melvinmariott8609]

I was wondering how much does it cost to register it?

[@BlueSummitOutdoors]

It all depends on what state you are, in they are all different. Here in VA it was about $40 to register and $100 a year in taxes, but that also depends on the state/county you live in.

@@BlueSummitOutdoors okay I'll check into that
