On this video I get into details about the kayak's construction and mounting a trolling motor.

Love the cup holder and completely agree I will never use scupper holes for anything, except maybe a cup holder like that lol 😆

@rhye_guy7717 5 лет назад

I have to confess...when I first saw your drink holder I thought "This man is a genius!! He made a scupper hole urinal!" haha. Sweet rig dude!

I just got one of these, marked down $100 from the $749 they were for a long time. Videos like these will help a lot, Thanks.

I have the same kayak I'm in the middle of rigging this mount on for my trolling motor exactly how you did sir, great job Big help and a big thanks to you and your smart ideas

@dawnbritt9403 8 лет назад

You are so SMART!!! I'm a crafty girly girl and know nothing about fishing boats, but you are so interesting to watch and you have the best ideas!!! Can't wait to see the boat out in the water! God bless!

@ArkansasPrepper 8 лет назад

Thank you Dawn! I also want to say thank you for watching all my videos and commenting, It is always amazing to me how someone unknown to me can find my channel and always comment, I look forward to hearing from you after making every video. Your friend, Rick

@thebauminater 7 лет назад

Thanks for sharing your mods. I have the same kayak and have done several mods myself. One thing to do is make sure everything on it is tethered or secured. I actually rolled my kayak today and luckily did not lose a single thing! FYI, I rolled it pulling my stuck anchor up and pulling too hard, when it released, my momentum carried me right over. :)

Marty Zoffinger would be proud. I want to see this yak perform with the trolling motor in it.

I love the set up and have learned some things new with stroller. Awesome and thank you for sharing Sir

@baldwincreative871 7 лет назад

Man, I like that mount you made, that's a good idea. My first mount was rigid and I had to physically remove the trolling motor when I came into shore since it was PVC in the rod holder. If I didn't and it hit, it bent my metal clamps and weakened them to the point that the motor would vibrate. So I am redoing the mount and mounting the motor on a transom where I can raise and lower it as intended. Sorry to flood you with comments, but I've been working on the new mount for a while so it's cool to see others working on one as well. Good job on yours.

@ArkansasPrepper 7 лет назад

Thanks my friend.

@guillaumelabrie3852 7 лет назад

ty for making that video. I got the catch 120 and a trolling motor, your way of mounting it seem way better than mine. The plastic flex to much the way i did hope you put the final result

@ArkansasPrepper 7 лет назад

Thanks! I have not had a chance to work on it. We are still very cold temps maybe by spring.

@nopro5433 5 лет назад

The only thing missing is a mirror and a shave kit Lol. Great Vid Man.

@DavidWestBgood2ppl 8 лет назад

You must have customized other boats before. You seem to know just what changes and adaptations need to be made... So many smart ideas!!!! I can't wait to see you on the water. Thanks!!!! PS... Just a little reminder, Keep track of how much weight your adding to it... Thanks!!!

@ArkansasPrepper 8 лет назад

I am...it is 400lb cap. I lost 30 lbs. I am now at 233lbs. I find a set of scales I will check it. Thanks Buddy

@DavidWestBgood2ppl 8 лет назад

LOL! Many years ago, I helped my Uncle build a little cabin on his flat pontoon. It was a nice little one. Framed with 1x4s, skinned with thin metal, 2 full sized, single, beds with storage underneath them, a little propane stove vanity of sorts, tiny bathroom... I guess you know where I'm headed with this story....LOL!!! Luckily it only sat very low in the water, not too low in the water. Thanks!!!!!!

@gagelawson7879 4 года назад

Great video man

@ArkansasPrepper 4 года назад

Thanks!

@flintriverkayaking7051 2 года назад

Route out for the bracket clamp bolts have a spot to fit in so it don't twist up from the side I ran into that

@rendezvous5784 8 лет назад

Looking forward to watching the progress...

@ArkansasPrepper 8 лет назад

I put the kayak racks on the truck today maybe hit the water in a couple of days?

@wyattoneable 8 лет назад

You've got a great set up on that rig. Only a RU-vidr would think about multiple camera mounts. :)

@ArkansasPrepper 8 лет назад

Well, I hope this all works out. It is shame that it is all based on my balance and that may be a problem where I fail...lol

@smallieman1756 5 лет назад

So I love this video. Have the same kayak and wondered if you could somehow explain how you did the mod on the troll motor control. I love what you’ve done and would like to duplicate it. What specific trolling motor did you use? Appreciate any feedback you can provide.

@GriffinBenchmark 7 лет назад

Great video, thanks for the info on the Pelican 120. Great mods! I'm not sure I'd be ready to call that Amazon seller a 'liar' because the actual cut opening on that plastuc part of the hatch does look to be 4" if you look at it. Maybe they worded it wrong? It looks like the insert is what causes it to be closer to 3". Just my opinion but I kinda feel like the word "liar" may be a little strong here.

@rawdawg2222 7 лет назад

Hey sir! Sweet mods! Just wanted to know, how exactly did you make the cup holder? Pvc? I have the same yak and want to do the same cup holder. It seems super simple and practical

@baldwincreative871 7 лет назад

I am thinking I will add a rudder in the back to assist in steering since my trolling motor will be off on the side. I have used the trolling motor in the past and used a paddle to steer, you can steer it pretty easy with the paddle, but I want to focus more on fishing than messing with the paddle.

@buzzsah 8 лет назад

Looks good, great ideas

@ArkansasPrepper 8 лет назад

Thanks, I hope I remember how to swim. People say it is like riding a bike.

@Victorkayak 7 лет назад

Awesome yak mods. man. Great DIY video!

@seanpatun9875 Год назад

Looks great but I'm not as handy as you are, must be nice.

@davidhefner5668 6 лет назад

4" hatch to cover a 3" hole perhaps.

@phanatic2254 5 лет назад

Nice mods!

@ArkansasPrepper 5 лет назад

Thanks!

@matthewpastuszok8975 7 лет назад

Hello, will the raised Scotty base mount fit to screw into the top sides of the kayak (infront of the top paddle holder groove)? IE. is the width of the top side larger than the width of the raised Scotty basemount?

@MyHollowpoint 8 лет назад

I've always wanted one of those but BIG alligators have kept me from it. Nice mods.

@ArkansasPrepper 8 лет назад

I am heading to Louisiana this winter. It may have to stay on the bank. I do not like water that has stuff in it that can eat you.

@MyHollowpoint 8 лет назад

***** Lol! I had a green 16 foot canoe I gave away for that very reason. March and April are not good months to be on the water looking like another alligator :)

@ArkansasPrepper 8 лет назад

I am going to put an ejector seat in it to throw me up on the bank.

@MyHollowpoint 8 лет назад

***** Lol! March and April you may need it.

@kickedintheballs2000 2 года назад

I’m not sure if you still reply to this video but I gotta ask. How did the steering with the paddle as a Rutter work out?

@ArkansasPrepper 2 года назад

Great!

@baldwincreative871 7 лет назад

Lots of good ideas. I have a Catch120 to and I'm in the process of adding a trolling motor in via the rodholders in the back. I will post a video once completed. Please subscribe so you can see it should be out this week.

@The_Coffee_Rabbit_Hole 7 лет назад

Hi Sir , any update ? Especialy on the trolling motor mount ? I'm currently rigging my catch 120 too and will have to face this challenge too . Nice video tho i really enjoy it !

@YankeeLivn 8 лет назад

wow awesome coming right along,what are you using for a mic ? is it wireless

@ArkansasPrepper 8 лет назад

If you notice the Go Pro in my hand is close to me. I have two camera running at the same time and I synced the videos together. You will probably notice when I set the one in my hand down on the seat the sound changes.

@HardWayFarms 8 лет назад

Buddy you have "Pimped" that rig out!!

@ArkansasPrepper 8 лет назад

Hope it floats...lol

@HardWayFarms 8 лет назад

***** Well, I didn't want to put that out there!! Good luck with that!! LOL!

@cioppac 7 лет назад

Did you have a video on how you made the forward paddle holders?

@jbigboyjohn1264 8 лет назад

This kayak, which is an outstanding rig, reminds me of buying a Glock, both have to have a shit load of modifications made to them!

@666BloodEagle 7 лет назад

i recommend surf board grip tape instead of rv grip tape.

@DCD-il3nm 6 лет назад

I can't find your second part to this catch 120 modifications. I'm about to buy one and searching before mod tips. How did the trolling motor work out?

@ArkansasPrepper 6 лет назад

I did not get to film it but the thing was fast. I did mount it in a strait line and used my paddle to steer the boat for only long distance travel and paddled into my fishing area.

@josenarvaez5338 5 лет назад

How big and heavy is your battery?

@ArkansasPrepper 5 лет назад

It is a normal deep cycle battery I took off my RV. I do not know the weight (40lbs?). I use a homemade dolly to launch and never carry it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-enCBVC3MfKU.html I am 250lbs, plus battery, trolling motor and gear, it is under the 400lbs weight capacity for the Kayak.
