Good stuff man, looking forward to seeing more of your Shuswap fishing vids this year!

[@shuswapoutdoors]

Kurt thanks Kurt!

[@gerardhaubert8210]

Thanks

[@shuswapoutdoors]

No problem

[@larryforman5142]

Nice video. Looking at buying a 16 come spring and would be looking to add the level floor inserts. Can i ask what the dimensions are for each one? Thanks.

[@shuswapoutdoors]

Thanks, sorry don't have the time to do that. Its not a basic shape

[@RobertF-cs7fx]

Hi, Where did you get your bow sun/weather enclosure? (not the Bimini top)

[@shuswapoutdoors]

It's all custom made. Any good canvas shop can make something similar

[@mindleftbowie9209]

where did you get the Bimini top and side and front rain shields for the SSV? Im getting a SSV 18 and want the same set up. Thank you in advance

[@shuswapoutdoors]

I had it custom made at a local canvas shop

[@mindleftbowie9209]

@@shuswapoutdoors Thank you!

I have your same boat. Great videos. From your experience, how much effect does your fish finder have on your starter battery? I am thinking about getting a small kicker motor like you have. I have manual downriggers, so there is no other draw on my starter/cranking battery besides my Helix 7 fish finder. If I got a small kicker and let my fish finder draw off of the starter battery all day (while my kicker is working), will my bigger motor (a 40 hp) still be able to start up? Thanks!

[@shuswapoutdoors]

The sonar doesn't draw much power at all. If you are worried the new Honda 5hp has a charging system on it to keep the battery charged. But I run my sonar/GPS and the powered downriggers all day with no issues

[@shuswapoutdoors]

I'm running a 50hp and no issues turning it over after 8 plus hours trolling

[@michaeltorgerson6657]

@@shuswapoutdoors So, is there enough room between your 50 hp and your kicker 5 hp to allow you to turn either motor and not have them rub? I keep watching your videos and pausing to see how much room you have. I believe this is the last concern I have. Thank you!

[@shuswapoutdoors]

No issues with the motors hitting each other.

[@thorn11]

Hi there! I'm wondering if you are still totally happy with that single battery powering motor, fish finder, and electric downriggers? I'm outfitting a 16 Lund SSV myself this year, and appreciate all the great ideas your videos have given me! Tempted to have separate starting battery and deep cycle, but more weight...

[@shuswapoutdoors]

I'm still running the same battery since 2017. No issues at all with it running everything.

[@thorn11]

Even in the scenario if you are mostly just trolling with the kicker all day, but still using your Humminbird and electric downriggers all day, still no problems firing up the big motor? Obviously the battery is getting no charge and drawing down while this is going on. Thanks again!

[@shuswapoutdoors]

No issues at all. The GPS sonar and downriggers don't draw much at all. I'll run 8 hours of pulling 15lbs balls 100' and there's still a ton of power to fire the 50 up.

[@Nomad1957]

What about the canopy,you never show that installation and where do I get that canopy. My dealer says he can't get them.

[@shuswapoutdoors]

Check out this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIWsg5mDe9Ckqpo It's custom made. Any good canvas shop can make something similar.

[@fishlakeoutdoors6709]

Hey i really like the videos bud any recommendations on what part of the shu to fish this time of year what to troll with for lakers

[@shuswapoutdoors]

there are fish all over the lake, just get out and fish!

[@brucewalbecq630]

Picked up a 2010 SSV last year. Just curious did you have to add on cable for battery and if so what gauge wire did you use? Great use of space looking to do the same.

[@shuswapoutdoors]

split bolt, shrink wrap and a bunch of electrical tape.

[@gonefishing1939]

i have the 18 alaskan, im considering replacing the heavy wood floors with 3/4" open cell foam boards and wrapped in 2 layers of glass. im thinking if i coulds save 60 lbs, it might be worth it.

[@shuswapoutdoors]

sounds like an interesting idea

[@gerardhaubert8210]

Would like to see a video of this project

[@gonefishing1939]

@@gerardhaubert8210 Check out my channel, i have a vid called "3 tips for speed" i went from 26mph to 34.2mph. i also have the video of when i gutted the old foam, many upgrades including a performance stainless prop.

[@grzegorzcooper1245]

hi..can I ask you for floor measurement and also I noticed that you put something (white) between rod holder seat and boat and then you bolted ? thank you

[@shuswapoutdoors]

i had to use plastic as a spacer for the scotty rod holders

[@Boats4rent]

Did you just slide the gas tank in or did you have to take the whole top and support off?

[@shuswapoutdoors]

Slid it in

[@grzegorzcooper1245]

also where did you put your fish finder.?thanks

[@shuswapoutdoors]

i show it on my videos of the boat build. starboard side
