Bro!! At 3:05 what is the pin called? Mine is missing that and it won’t steer at all. I’m going on 4 trips and ive been trying to figure out what is wrong.
I know people say you are supposed to, but I never have and I have roof topped a Hobie Pro Angler 17T on a 6 hour trip with just the middle 2 straps around the bars on this rack.
Great video! I just finished mine. I didn’t have to cut the cooler’s handle mounts, I just did as you suggested and used a screwdriver to help slide it in. Also, showing where the screws were located was a big help on a couple of them 👍
@@BlueSummitOutdoors I see. When you say too fragile, do you mean you had to continuously be mindful of pilings, concrete, oyster bars....stuff like that or was there something else? Thanks for the response. I have the AutoPilot 120, but I need something much lighter for camping and travel. I'm seriously thinking about getting the Lynx.
@RadReelingFishing yea I love the old towns but they are heavy, so I went the inflatable route. When I say fragile this is what I mean. I had the lynx on my garage concrete floor, and sat in the seat to rig it up and see where I wanted to put some things. Just sitting in the seat on a concrete floor creased the hull underneath. I could see a stress crease where the plastic looked like it had been bent and discolored. The BOTE inflatable seems to be more durable oddly enough.
@@BlueSummitOutdoorsThanks for sharing your experience. I'm a bit Leary of inflatables just because I really like to catch Sheepshead, ha ha...I'm supposed to pick up a Lynx tomorrow with H-rails, H-crate, paddle and the Trax 2 plug in cart all for $2600. Sounds like a deal! They said everything is in great shape, we shall see.
@RadReelingFishing yea I don’t blame you inflatables really have to fish the style of fishing you do to make sense. $2600 is a steal especially with the accessories and with the current prices of everything thing. Nice find!
My upgraded sail rudder sits slightly below the hull size so when kayak sits the ground it rests on the edge of the larger rudder. How did you prevent this? Cheers Matt
Looking at this problem I’m going to make a simple solution with just 3 pieces of wood joined then positioned through the rear gap of the kayak handle at an angle preventing the rudder from making contact with ground till I can work out a better solution. Let me know what others have done ✅
I made a wooden cart system with caster wheels to easily roll it around my garage and load into the back of my truck. It also put it up higher for easy rigging and mods.
Very tasteful hack. I don't have this boat, but on my bass tracker, I end up using 48 quart cooler and use it as a live well as well as a cooler. I did the exact same thing with the phone insulating top and that thing is better than the live well that comes on the boat.
Looks great. You can also drill small holes in the sides of the cooler walls and spray foam insulation inside the walls. This will insulate the cooler even more.
Thanks for saying that, i was just going to post that. I would also think a knock off yeti cooler that's cheap but still for , lets say 3 days carry ice ect... Might be just the way to go, we would have the measurements be worth a look . This is a must upgrade in my books. That will just make my ''worm brain friends' want to come more often...lol
Hi regarding the colour does it strain your eyes at night i know my eyes are strugling just looking at the video and if u had another choise what coulour would you change to i u had to
I have this yak, use a 100ah lithium battery. Works great out on the Pacific in Oregon. People that say you can't use a 10' yak in the salt are probably bass fisherman from the midwest. 10' yaks turn quicker in a trough to square up with the waves. No problem in 2 -3 swell. Trolling salmon or bottom fishing lingcod, great kayak! Great review!
