Stern mounted kayak trolling motor with tiller steering.

[@МаринаШмалий-т3ж]

*This makes my old motor look like a toy **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it's well built. I haven't had it on the water yet, but I'm very sure it will perform just fine.*

[@WaynJul]

I hope you have fun.

[@EmilyTienne]

Nice, clean installation.

[@WaynJul]

Thank you. It was a rushed video. Sometimes when I find out someone is doing a DIY I am interested in I rush over there and make a video. If I see there is something there that can benefit someone I will post it. I hope to keep getting better as I go.

[@suadhalilovic1501]

So far this has been the best set up, some people say just get a small aluminium boat, well the only problem with that is the limitations of only being able to access the areas polluted with other recreational watercraft and noise pollution. Kayaking enables the the nature enthusiast to access all areas, small channels and streams where you wouldn't dare take a boat. I've already crossed areas that are only 10cm deep and areas inaccessible by land so I now can access the best fishing spots and camping locations 👍

[@WaynJul]

You can launch from many places. Go to more spots. You can get even shallower with a paddle board.

[@glenkeats9578]

Watched from Nova Scotia Canada. This is going to help me when I tackle this project this winter on my yak. Thanks.

[@WaynJul]

I thank you for watching and comment.

[@mototechsam3051]

Very nice set up. Something I will be considering doing. Ty

[@WaynJul]

It works pretty good.

[@Juanelo1946]

Steve, I have a neighbor who is amazingly handy, but I think you have a leg up on him. Your kayak scoots around like a dream! Great job!

[@WaynJul]

Thanks it was a collaboration of ideas. It sounds like you have a great neighbor. Always good to have someone that will help out on a project.

[@PAPATexas]

Nice DIY. It works! If I fished more in mine I would add a fish finder.

[@WaynJul]

Thanks. Fish finders with GPS come in handy. When you go back in the marsh grass canals it's like a maze.

[@WaynJul]

Thanks. I hope you get all that moving done. I have worked my share of nights.

[@WesLovelace]

Great DIY on the 30 lb. Minn Kota!! Now no more Manual Propulsion!!

[@WaynJul]

It helps to get to the fishing spot quicker. The paddle still comes in handy in very shallow water.

[@gmanlipripper]

DIY. Gotta love it. Worked like a charm

[@WaynJul]

It just needs to be taken fishing.

[@codylockhart64sessions15]

So did you just make it go max speed? Or is there different speeds determined by how many clicks of the knob? Reason I ask is I just bought one and it has 5 speeds forward and 3 in reverse.

[@WaynJul]

It has five speeds forward and three reverse like yours. I helped my friend make his on my latest kayak mod. I lost the footage of the speed setting except Four and Five. Here is the link if you are interested in watching it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKe7hIGlhtJljKc

[@MissouriOldTimer]

that beats the heck out of paddling.

[@WaynJul]

It really helps when the wind is blowing.

[@popup1959]

Nice job on that upgrade Wayn. Dremmels work great for that sort of thing. Came out real good and cruises right along. World's coolest kayak! A little music would be nice. :)

[@WaynJul]

I have wore out a couple of Dremel tools. Three of us collaborated on this kayak. Some three stooges music.

[@brodude08]

Awesome video! I will be referring to this a lot when i start mine. Just ordered a trolling motor and want to do something very similar to this

[@WaynJul]

Thanks for the comment and I hope you get your kayak up and running.

[@huckfin1100]

And now this is the sound that the drill makes when drilling holes, ha,ha

[@WaynJul]

Thanks for the comment.

[@JimMFishing]

That's one way to add power to a kayak. Here in FL, you have to register the kayak when adding power. Annual registration with numbers affixed to the kayak. How does Texas handle this?

[@WaynJul]

Yes we have to register but every two years.

[@BluzGuitarGuyFishing]

Great job ! Love the tiller arm ! Hope Deb doesn't see this, she'll want me to do it to her Yak....but I just sold my brand new 30 Lb Minn Kota since I had it for two years and never used it. Shh... ... we wont tell her, OK ?

[@WaynJul]

I get rid of things and then a month later I need it. LOL

10:30 removing the motor. can you tellme where it is connected to a battery here? it appears you just pull it off, I dont see where/how you are powering the motor ?

7:29 shows the plug near the motor bracket. He later moved the plug towards the seat to cut down on electrical resistance. We are always modifying our kayaks one way or another.

[@jamesfox3784]

Ok. Good effort. However, you went to all that trouble and didn't add in a PWM?! Missed opportunity to extend battery life.

[@WaynJul]

Thank you for your constructive criticism. I have helped several friends install modified trolling motors and DIY brackets on their kayaks. Some of them choose the PWM and others just used the #2064028 switch that came with the trolling motor. on another build a friend bought a trolling motor and we did add PWM control to it. In my latest video my friend got the new #2064028 five speed switch from the one that installed the PWM because he did not want to use a PWM control.

[@jamesfox3784]

@@WaynJul all good. I don't know why you wouldn't want a PWM but each to their own I guess. Your video was indeed helpful 👍

[@casualcarolinafishing5835]

Well done fellas. Is he happy with it?

[@WaynJul]

Yes he is. The trolling motor was mounted on the side of the kayak on a board and wanted it like mine mounted on the stern for better control and tracking. He likes it better now. The difference is mine has foot steering ,his has tiller.

Your video was very difficult to follow because of the narrating and the clarity of the video. Great concept but I would have use a larger box so you wouldn't have to cut anything from inside of it. There is another guy use the same concept with a larger box. It was so much easier.

Yes sometimes my friend calls me and lets me come film his build. I try to keep up with the footage and since I am no pro I try to just adjust. I am always looking for ways to make things better.
