Pelican Bass Raider 10E NXT mods

[@jaymugridge1810]

The use of the T track is ingenious. I’m not into woodworking so I’ve not heard of it . Definitely a future mod for my pelican . Thanks for sharing.

[@jeffakamax]

Highly recommended, they work great!

[@martywilladsen4559]

The BEST small boat mid video yet. Great logic, design and craftsmanship!

[@jeffakamax]

Thanks!

[@timgreene8432]

I'm Impressed . You did a great job fabricating everything . I'm getting one soon , I think I'll keep the trim on and just seal at the joints top and bottom . Love the Flag ! Thanks

[@jacobgarberding6943]

Great video! Thank you for sharing. I just bought a brand new Pelican bass raider10E from Cabela's. I have a lot of great things in the making for it but great to see others projects! Cheers!

[@phils6733]

Nice setup! It’s clean, great job I threw a casting deck on mine, these little boats are great.

[@Mustang8846]

Some great ideas. Thank you for sharing. Especially about the black trim.

[@chrisjackson1078]

I'd love one of the transceiver mounts. Very creative. 🙌🙌

[@maryandersen3172]

Really like what you have done to your boat! We are using a lot of your ideas. Thanks for making your video.

[@maryandersen3172]

By the way I just bought my boat NEW paid 1,100.00 for it at bass pro😫

[@jeffakamax]

@@maryandersen3172 you'll enjoy it, they are great little boats.

[@ninob82]

Hello Jeff love everything you did with the bass raider how I'm very interested in the cart you built to move it around

[@odycam]

Great video, an thank you for that. I did buy one today at academy sports, $749.00 Not bad. So it's still in the back of my truck, and I will be working on it today, and tomorrow. thanks guys/girls. have a great one

[@jeffakamax]

You will love it, they are a blast!

[@louisgarcia114]

Very nice set up I would like to get some of the transducer mounts you made let me know if it's still possible to get some and were did you get your t tracks at

[@jeffakamax]

T-tracks from Amazon. email me at [e-mail] and I can hook you up with the other parts.

[@rawcutfishing]

You are a trip. Great video man

[@clayhallsted6086]

Excellent video and suggestions ...but no need to go to 6 gauge wire for this application.

[@jeffakamax]

Oem wiring claimed to be 8ga but looked more like 10ga. 60amps through 10 feet is borderline. I had some 6ga laying around anyway.

[@fernandotrigoso1245]

Can you make a video explaining the rewire? I just bought my first boat and want it wired this way

[@jamesgroves5294]

Nice job, my friend. I love mine. Thanks🙏🏿🇺🇸

[@bandgpaintball]

Jeff, would you be willing to share your guide files for your mods? Transducer holder, clamps and rod holders all look great!

[@chatmansr]

Hey Jeff really like your setup. Just got my bass raider and in process of setup. looked at a lot of different mods. I like your t track and the 3D parts. I would like to get those 3D mounts you made. let me know how to get my address to you. Thanks.

[@jeffakamax]

email me at [e-mail]

[@intriguedviewer501]

Love the usage of 3D printing! What filament do you use? I know PLA isn't great with heat or water, I've used PETG with some success but found it can warp under high heat. I'd love to avoid using ABS but it might be the only filament appropriate for outdoor use that's exposed to water.

[@jeffakamax]

I use PETG for the clamps and transducer mounts. Been using PLA+ with great success underwater. In some instances I've had better luck with PLA+ as it seems less brittle but less temp resistant.

[@jameslane9385]

I love your 3d printed pole holders! Did you make the file?

[@tork62077]

Wow that’s some very cool upgrades, I just sent you an email.

[@mac43068]

I would like the 3 D transducer mount you have. Is that still possible?

[@jeffakamax]

[@TS-eg8dm]

I wish I had gotten this information about the Rubber seal before I took the one off my pond prowler, oh my gosh, same thing happened to me I had to stretch that thing

[@paulbernardi2597]

Hi Jeff, I love the mods you made to your boat! I have the same exact boat and I was wondering how you re-ran the wires through the hull? Did you just tie the new ones to the factory ones and simply pull them through? Also, is there any advantage to using 6 guage wire vs. the 8? Thanks.

[@jeffakamax]

Yeah, I just tied the new ones in and dragged them through. 6ga is whats needed for 50 to 60 amps. If you are running a smaller motor you will probably be fine but I have a 65 and 55lb thrust I run on mine.

[@paulbernardi2597]

@@jeffakamax Thanks for the reply Jeff. I thought the factory wires were kind of on the light side myself. I'm running a 55 lb. Minnkota so I think I'm going to do the same thing you did! I really like the Anderson plugs too I just have some basic 8-10 guage solderless connectors but one actually pulled out this weekend on me.

[@jeffakamax]

@@paulbernardi2597 anderson connectors and some 6ga wire and you'll never have to worry about it.

[@swbixler]

Great video Jeff. How did you hook up the shock chords used in the trac? Are they pre built?

[@jeffakamax]

No I just made them up with an eyelet on each end and mounted to the track with a t stud and nut

[@Nealstone10]

Wow this thing is Sweet! Where can I order one haha

[@howardb4]

nice mods, just curious which ones you would do again or not after using the boat for a year. also, what about the pelican seat over the cushioned one? thanks for the vid

[@jeffakamax]

If I were to build another one, there isn't much I'd change. I surely wouldn't use the plastic scupper plug again - lol. the Ergo 360 seats are much lighter and are mesh with breathe much better than a padded seat. No swamp-ass!

[@AltonMiller23]

Nice setup.

[@WiztekServices]

What 3d printer do you own and would recommend. Do you have a link and also when i get mine would you be willing to send me the files for it. These are some of the greatest mods i have seen. Thanks. Also what size drain plugs and size holes did you install in the bottom. Do you have a link to them please

[@jeffakamax]

Whats your budget for a printer? Check k my other videos for info on drain plus and supper plug.

[@WiztekServices]

500 or less

[@jeffakamax]

@@WiztekServices creality K1 or bambu p1p if you have a little more to spend.

[@WiztekServices]

@jeffakamax thanks it looks like the bambu p1p is better so i will order that one and thank you

[@FFTB804]

How did you replace the original wiring? I just purchased the Pelican Bass Raider 10 e.

[@jeffakamax]

I tied off the new 6ga wiring to the existing OEM wire and used that to pull it through.

[@FFTB804]

@@jeffakamax thanks

[@RWS73]

How has the aquarium sealant held up. Thinking of doing the same to my angler 8s. Not sure what to use. I've seen people use flex seal and bed liner. Then I saw your video.

[@jeffakamax]

Flex seal is a joke. The RTV has held up well! (Aquarium sealant)

[@RWS73]

@@jeffakamax Thanks!

[@fishntools]

Outstanding, I'll be watching! How did you bond the lattice to the hull?

I’d love some of those 3d print fittings

[@jeffakamax]

[@steveb.1701]

At the bow, what size schedule 40 PVC did you use for rod holders ? I bought 1&1/4 inch PVC but it doesn’t quite fit in the straps. My Bass Raider is new and the straps are quite stiff. Thanks in advance. Steve B.

[@jeffakamax]

If memory serves, it was 1 1/4. A little heat from a heat gun or hair dryer will soften things up just a bit if needed.

[@steveb.1701]

Thanks so much for the suggestion. Before I forget, I was about to put in an Atwood scupper plug when I came across your video. How did you go about fixing the problem? If you had to do it 5:34 over, would you still go with a scupper plug? Thanks a million for getting back to me. I really enjoy the ideas you come up with.

[@jeffakamax]

@@steveb.1701 I replaced it with a stainless steel supper, no problems after that

[@steveb.1701]

Smart. Thanks.

[@steveb.1701]

Jeff: Would you mind posting the link to the stainless steel scupper assembly?

[@drjrm3]

any way you can provide the .stl files? I would love to print some of your mods.

[@midwestexplorer]

Great mods! What type of screws did you use to install those tracks? Are they stainless?

[@jeffakamax]

Yeah, stainless screws and VHB tape

[@brucehayes7369]

Yes where did you get the rubber mat for the floor of the pelican

[@jeffakamax]

Was some wire raceway I had laying around. Just an industrial version of an anti fatigue mat.

[@Mrmaintenance210]

Thank you for sharing, just curious i know you said you would 3d print the attachments for the transducer? but what about the sun sharde for the striker four, i let a buddy go out on my kayak and he knocked it off with the paddle :(

[@daveghearing1708]

What was the length of the trolling motor. I think you said it was a water snake. Who makes it? Thanks.

[@jeffakamax]

www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007SXHKFU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Have NO complaints on that motor at all! I cut the shaft down so it's shorter than usual. I like to be able to cast over it without it being in the way. Personal preference really. I also have a 65LB Haswing that is ESC controlled. Works great too but not good at FWD/REV prop cleaning to remove weeds.
