Oh sweet pickles, for the love of all things fermented, just make sure your axles are pointed away from each other and put the wheels on before the pads.
I think that would be better. You can't see the cable with the way it is currently. I'll mention this to the company. I have have direct communication with the owner.
It was a fun video to make. We are trying to plan another trip down there with the kids. I'll make the same video with the kids. I wonder if their reactions will be the same. They are much bigger now.
One guy I watched said to leave the screw out when you go up and down to let the air out that way you’re actually working air out of it and you feel it each time you go up and down
Does he show this in the video? Can you share the video link? If you leave the screw out, all of the fluid would leak out. It would probably squirt out and make a mess everywhere when you go up and down.
@@TomyTekOutdoors it didn’t on hills. It had the two cylinders on the side and the one in the middle, but I don’t know about all of them. I don’t remember who it was.
I have an older boat motor Johnson 140 and I believe that was what I was watching and he left the fill plug I don’t remember which guy did it out and yes, it showed it on the video
@@denverlatham1945 thanks for sharing the information. Doing it this way fixed my problem and it work at least a year before I sold the boat. As long as it worked for you is what matters. I used the process after watching several videos and researching online.
Pro Anglers are 110 pounds and 38" wide. I would need wider crossbars. I also didn't want to be breaking my back to get them up there. I recently added a rod box to the rack, so I can securely transport rods. I may try putting a single kayak up there when I switch out my rack.
@TomyTekOutdoors That makes a lot of sense. Thank you for the quick reply. I recently bought 2 kayaks, the FeelFree Lure 13.5's. Think I'm gonna go with a similar set up, but looking at the LOADD product instead of a bed extender.
@@nateitscake88I have. My friend had one and used it with an older Hobie Outback. It stuck out a lot in the back. Have you seen the Will-I-Loader from Berley Pro. That's another option.
@TomyTekOutdoors I haven't but just checked it out... Thats pretty cool. I watched another guy with a van use and winch with a remote to top his kayak. That was pretty cool. Think I'm just gonna stick them in the bad of the truck for now. Long term goal is to make room in my garage for a 2 kayak trailer.
That looks like a challenge. I had a net similar, but realized it was working. I bought a bigger diameter, smaller holes so the snoods don’t get caught, and less forgiving/ flimsy. I think I got it at Hartford crabbing supplies. Good luck!
I'm going to add smaller wire mesh to the top of the net. That will take care of the problem. I have another net like this, but didn't bring it. I'll share that in future video.
I made my first one too small in 2 hrs and my next one took 5 hrs with harbor freight stainless steel wire and a bamboo handle,I wrapped it a bunch of times back and forth where the snoods and bags hit,I use one hand the whole time and my nets length and size feel really good just exhausting after a few hours
@@TomyTekOutdoors I used about 30 60in pieces and bent them in half then twisted them all 1 1/2-2in apart from each other on the rim , then twisted right below on all of them,then you just follow in a line twisting them together(about 3 TIGHT twist per), it’s hard on the hands and definitely rubs whatever coats the steel on your hands and takes a while for a big net (14in wide,9.5 deep 58in long with extra wire for snoods took 5 hrs and small one 1ft wide/8in deep 41in long, with extra wire took 2 and half hrs with about 20 55in pieces and I had about 6-8 extra inches I cut off on both), and the ending is a little hard,I kept pushing\stretching it out to get a good shape in the end, then to finish it you push all the wire ends into each other, then you can if you want put a circle around it all to to keep it together with a wire, at harbor freight the wires $9 for 1lb it’s T-304 and it’s enough to do a big net, just make sure you put it on a sturdy rim with a handle that won’t come off it,mine was an old string net with a long piece of bamboo on it for getting crabs on the pilling ,I just cut the bamboo off then zip tied the crap out of it and used duct tape as a handle and on the end because before i did that it scraped the crap out of my arm pit with the way I held it one handed
JO #2 for direct seasoning on the crabs during steaming. Old Bay for the liquid (water vinegar) for steaming crabs and on the table when eating. Also when steaming shrimp.
Unfortunately the same thing happend with mine. Was snorkling in Sri Lanka and the camera screen went black and later realised one of the latches was not sealed properly. Yes it's user error but would have been good if it prompted an error saying that (like in a car - door not closed properly). It's gone for good now! : (
Sorry this happened to yours. I haven't bought another DJI camera since. I recently got an Insta360 x4. The battery locks in similar to DJI. Now I'm aware of this since it happened to my DJI. I always make sure the battery is inserted properly.
How does steering compare the motor turned off using the pole with the the motor and rudder off the Lynx using the stock rudder and sock rudder control? Thanks.
Steering works great with the Versa Rudder and no power. It's just as good as the stock steering. You have to be careful when steering under power. You could throw yourself off of the kayak if you're going too fast.
@@victorheckler2191 I like how easy it is to use this setup. I'm working on a hand steering option for this. That video is coming up soon. I also have another mounting option that will allow you to use the stock rudder and motor at the same time. That will be another video.
@@GutsDulce316 They are in all of the rivers in Maryland. Blackwater Refuge is a well known place. You can catch them with on the same lures you use for bass. I like to use topwater frogs, chatterbaits, buzz baits, spinner baits, inline spinners, and flukes.
You can't see it, but there's a steamer contraption underneath the crabs. It keeps them off of the bottom. I have a small steamer pot, but it couldn't fit this many crabs. Here's a video showing this setup ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fADKWCI9ujI.htmlsi=ut963IzDBtPPaYgN.
I'll give that a try on my next trip and see if it makes a difference. I would never use it like that myself. I like having the ability to easily use my fins and motor at the same time.
You are going to need a mounting plate like this one bixpy.com/one-objective-pro-angler-power-pole-mounting-bracket-kit/?rstr=591. Here's the K-1 Outboard kit that you will need bixpy.com/bixpy-k-1-outboard-kit-best-seller/?rstr=591. Here's the option with the bigger battery bixpy.com/bixpy-k-1-outboard-kit-best-seller/?rstr=591. This is the motor mount that you will need bixpy.com/power-pole-adapter-k-1-j-2-motors/?rstr=591. Here's a video showing this mount with the J-2, but the install is the same ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T_2e9u_UbAI.html. I'll show this with the K-1 soon.
Hi, When you move the pole in either 180 degree direction, does the pole start to hit stuff that might be stored behind the seat, like a milk crate? Or does the pole mostly go straight back/forward? Thanks for the video. This might be better than the thruhull adapter i have, it's kind of a pain to switch back/forth to motor or pedal.
I currently have an Engel cooler behind my seat and it doesn't affect steering. I prefer this over the MirageDrive adapter. It's nice to be able to use my motor and easily switch to my MirageDrive. I'm working on a video showing this in action on the water. It should be done soon. I'm also working on installing a h-rail, so I could install separate hand steering.
I ordered rudder today. I currently have the mirage drive adapter, agree, pain to switch back and forth. I have h rails, which hand steering kit are you looking at?
Sorry, one more question, how stable is the rudder when you let go of the steering pole? Does it hold it's direction or does it tend to straighten out? I'm thinking of ways to have something near the seat that will keep the pole in a position when needed, like when fighting a fish and being able to pedal backwards without the rudder going all the way left or right.
@@TheCave99 I'm planning to use Tim Percey's universal steering. I have it on my PA and really like it. Here's a video showing what it looks like on my PA ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bIxUexmzZKk.html&t.
@@TheCave99 If you let go of the pole, the rudder will go to one side. To keep it straight, I tied it off to the seat. This gives it enough tension to keep it straight and allows you to still steer. If you have an h-rail, you could tie it off to that. When I install my hand steering, it should keep it straight.
I forgot what I did. I'll take a look at my seat to see how I did that. I wasn't making videos yet when I did that mod. I found the solution online. If I find the link I'll post it here. I'll make a video about the seat when I figure out how I did it again.
Here's a video where I show my maiden voyage ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2jTD-f3rFEc.html. I don't show stability in the video. The Outback is pretty stable as long as you don't over reach. I'm able to stand it in comfortable. You have to get use to standing up and getting your balance. I friend of mine doesn't like standing in it, but I have no problem.
The spook will float, so you need enough weight to keep it on the bottom. You could start with 1oz and go heavier if it's not heavy enough. I normally use this with 3oz-8oz depending on the current. Most places I use this has current. I can try it later and let you know if 1oz is enough.
Boonedox makes one. You can contact them to see if they will ship to Denmark. Here's a link to their rudder www.boonedoxusa.com/product-page/pa-rudder-1
Step 1: Throw hobie cart out. Step 2: Buy wilderness systems cart. Done The amount work and f*ck around people go through just to use the hobie cart is insane.
There are a lot of cart options now. I just got the Yak Attack Bunkster cart. You didn't have a lot of options early on and I didn't like how bulky the Wilderness Systems cart was. The Bunkster cart looks like a great option.
@@TomyTekOutdoors I might in the future but now snoods,2 300ft,it’s a lot of work but worth it if I don’t strike out again,I might go the 5th morning 5-10ft, but you don’t think it’s too early in rock hall? That’s what I’m being told
It is a lot of work to bait. I've never crabbed that far north this early, so I can't say from experience. Is it far for you to go to Eastern Bay? I know they are catching there.
@@TomyTekOutdoors I just looked into it and Its 20 miles and 20mins extra total and no tolls on the 301,so I’ll be going there,never been but I need to catch grass shrimp to catch perch to cut up for fresh bait so hopefully I can, I’m gonna try to stay close to shore, do you think the waves will be bad? ,I just flipped yesterday cause I kept reaching for something in still water with my phone in my hand
Depending on what launch you use, you will have to get a Queen Anne's permit. They will give you a ticket if you don't have one. You can get them at Chesapeake Outdoors. The wind looks good for Friday. It will take a few trips to get used to your setup. It's easy to over extend your when you think you can reach something, but then it compromises your stability. You just have to keep that in mind. Leave it, turnaround, and come back for it. I've had a few close calls myself. Good luck out there. I'm trying to do a quick trip tomorrow with traps.
