(S0 Ep81) How To Build A PVC Rod Holder For Hobie Outback 

Terrific, Thanks for taking the time to put this step by step including parts list together! And Thank You for your service!!

Thank for your time and effort helping us on these great ideas, and thank you for your service...

Good job. If you want to get the wheels out of the way add two tees pointing back, slide wheels in, wheels now laying flat wheels toward back. You just picked up tons of space behind seat for gear, tackle. I did it...works awesome.

That pvc flaring technique is awesome. Definitely going to be using that to build the rod holders for my setup.

Absolutely the best DIY rod holder build I've seen...really nice job!!! And you can add me to the list of a buyer if you ever decide to make and sell them....

Thanks so much!!! Just made one for my pa14 and it looks amazing!!!

Awesome job. Glad to see another Veteran with the same passion. Retired U.S. Air Force here ;)

That looks great man !!! I am going to build one for my boat this weekend. Thanks for sharing.

Love it ... I am going to try it myself soon . Thanks for the motivation bud

So many variations of this set up you can build , great video!

You just gave me inspiration for my Jeep.

Awesome work I am going to try and make some and most of all thank you for your service

Well I know what I'm doing over the Christmas break now thanks for posting video

Black and yellow look great together

Super rigid fully functional nice looking rod holders .

Speechless (that's the best comment I can give because you did it all and you did it right!!!)

nice! i gotta make one for my oasis. i was just going to attach rod holders to a milk crate and strap them down in the back but i think you may change my mind how i want it done. great video keep it up

Thank you for your service

Great guy to share that info. Real nice!

Thank you for your service 🙏🙏

Nice job! You should hydrodip them with a cool design.

Built a rod rack I also did a removable Nav Light I fish at night a lot . Sprayed mine with Rustolum bed liner , gives a ruff finish .

Thanks for your service

Great Job my friend! Looks Awesome.

Love the build and vid man!...inspired me to build my own on my channel...ive got a little tip for you for the future when you go to paint PVC, im a plumber, once you are done and have it all glued up...take some clear pvc cleaner(its a primer)..and go over the whole thing then u can paint without sanding...it takes the outer coat off and prepares it to recieve the paint better...just my two cents...again awesome build and video

Fantastic video Mark, I need to make one of these!

Nice job Mark! I was getting ready to make a similar video for the rocket launchers on my PA.

i built a set 3 or 4 years ago for pa12. Glued all fitting but 1 90. You put stainles sheet metal screws to hold it together. And so you can take it off if you want to later.

Good job. Thanks.

Awesome diy vid. Keep up the great content.

Nice video man, thanks 👍

On the Outback you can up grade the center hatch too a rectangular one 98-100$ . And you can get a molded bucket that fits nicely . Hobie makes hay on assessories for sure .

Yo te recomendaría colocar un pasador para aguantar el puente que se mueve de frente hacia atrás, para que no se valla a virar, pero tu invento es muy bueno👍

Looks a lot better than store bought

I like the black paint

Nice Iam going build one for my ascend 128t kayak

well done,i love your idea.

Cool video. FYI: A 45 is an elbow (or ell as we call it in the pipeline industry)

Great job and video!

Mark great job! Did you make your cuts first in the PVC before you heated it or did you heat it first. Also, how did you get that nice rolled look around the edge of your cuts?

Nice... Thanks for the tip...

Why do you use the couplings on your vertical ends of the cross pieces? Do you find that it makes it more stable or is for visual aesthetics? Thanks for the video, I plan on using your idea with a few adjustments of my own.

just a suggestion that i saw somewhere else. cut a slit to the 4" mark instead. that will allow the pvc to fit in the hole snugly.

Hey Mark great setup, cant wait to see it on the water. Can you show us the actual damage on the pro angler 12, can it be repaired? Are going to keep it as a spare or junk it? Great videos by the way keep it up.

Would it be possible to cut a slit in the pvc portion that goes into the molded rod holders? Seems that depending on the width of the saw blade it could also work....thoughts?

Use a heat gun to hear your PVC tubing . No heat scorch marks .

nicely done

Any idea if the hobie trax 2 cart will also fit with these dimensions ? I think the tires are bit larger in diameter

Man that’s nice I love to fish and owned a boat r 2. But I’m afraid of that I don’t swim.

Great video, would you not just use black pipe? Here in the UK you can get black or white pipe.

Very nicely done. Is that a safety/visibility flag at the aft of the kayak?

Thanks i am building it today

Great video! Will the hobie livewell fit pr does it need mods?

Good afternoon, did you still use the lightning kayak

Lowes also gives a veterans discount! at least here in Kansas. I bought an Oklahoma Joe smoker thats how I know.Like the videos ,I'm thinking of a sundolphin10 to test the waters so to speak?

Nice job. Subscribed

Nice!

You should sell them. I'll buy one I have a pa 14

Thanks for the video . I just built one thanks to you !!! . Question, why didn't you use the black pvc instead of the white and painting it afterwards. I built exactly as you instructed . I just thought about it afterwards about using the black lol

Very nice build and I will be building one for my kayak... the cost however is nowhere near the $30 or so be ause just the 4 cross joints cost $8 each... I bought a 5' section of 1 1/2 pvc, 8 couplers, 4 cross joints, 4 45's, 2 90's, and 4 3nd caps, pvc glue and it came out to $94... oh and a 5 gallon lowes bucket...

For the cannons can I make them out of 2 inches ?

When making the reel grooves on he top of the rod holders, do I take a certain size drill bit to drill a hole first in the pvc and if so, how far down on the pvc do I go down on the pvc? Basically, how do I make those reel seat grooves in the PVC? Thanks

very nice,tank`s

Hey man where are you stationed at? I’m active as well down in Pensacola Florida

looks so nice but the only issue I see with it is that it kinda restricts you a bit from accessing any cargo in the back (cooler, or live well that is usually back there) I have a hobie adventure island and have a nice big space to put any cargo in the back and this would restrict my acess to anything in the back I cant imagine an outback or revolution that is much smaller. I think it woult be better if it curved around the back of the boat on my hobie it would be a nightmare because the rods would be so far away but on yours it would be ideal because your gear would be in front and your rods would not be too far back. Idk just my two cents. Anyways thank you for your service. oh and watch out for those carts wheel carts u are using that go through the scupper holes. They will be the end of your hobie. I had the exact same one and it made a hole right in the scupper hole of my (now sold) revolution. I had to take it to a hobie dealer, get it fixed for 150$ and I couldn't even sell it for 800 because no one wants a boat with a hole in it no matter how well its been fixed, without a massive discount.

how much for pvc rod holder? can you please make me one for my hobie mirage outbak 2021 please

Looks great! Great job brother. How did you cut the notches out? Definitely going to try and build one for my yak.

You should use tees instead of the 90 degree elbows so you have two extra rod holders

Nice

Thanks for sharing. How did you cut the groove?

How did you flare out the pvc?

Sweet. Have you made one for the 2019 Outback? If so, are there any dimensions changes?

I just bought a 2019 Hobie Pro Angler. Will it use the same items?

Hello guy! What are the pipe cut sizes

Hey there! I painted mine but they chip super easily. Does this happen to yours? If not, what paint and how did you do it? Thanks!

Hey Great Video! I am a new kayak fisherman and want to make this rig. I have the hobie compass. Do you think the same dimensions will work? Thank you

Prices went up so much since when you did it five years ago that I paid $88 just for the PVC piping and stuff

Great video! I want to do it but am concerned that I will have trouble getting to all my gear in my milk crate in the back of my outback. Have you figured out gear storage yet? The circular storage area below the knees is not to practical.

Is there blueprints on this or size of pipe

I just made one for my Native kayak. Did you put anything on the black spray paint to keep it from rubbing off? I think I'm really going to like it. 😁

Blow torch, lol. Good idea.

This looks great. One quick question... when you flared out the top with the bottle how did you cut out the small gap for the reel handle? Dremel or something similiar?

Go to Harbor Freight and pick up a Heat Gun. More control and you don't burn the pipe.

i would like to buy one if possible I have a camo outback 2017.

you can have only one but they also give seniors and price match,all of which is 10%!! just ask!

This is good for fishing in a pond but what happens when you launch in surf and you capsize, even if you poles are tethered. and your in 4' or 5' of water? I think having 4 rods on board is not realistic in that situation and a rod tube is better, where you rod is below in storage.

Would you try to build one athat work with the livewell

are you able to remove the rod holder or is it stuck there?

You may have said it in video and I missed it, but is this removable? I want to build it but don't want anything permanent

Great build, only thing being however that spray paint won't stay on there till cat licked his a.

how much you charge to make one?

cool channel surprised you don't have more subscribers

Nice, but how to paint

A heat gun is better than torch to heat the pipe

Only 4inches of depth?

Hello sir I have a 2021 p12 that my mom bought me would you sale me one for it my dad is no longer here thanks.

So i thought the PA was toast, did the hull not crack?

Would this also work to the homie compass?

Built one

Why did you use 1 1/2 pipe instead of 1 1/4 pipe.
