Good info! Your setup sounds really smart; thanks for posting!

I ended up buying a Bonafide SS127 and put a Motorguide Xi3 w/Pinpoint GPS on it. Haven't fished much with the GPS anchor yet, but...

As much as I'm spending on this whole venture, a few extra bucks to make sure something doesn't heat up and fry isn't a bad thing. Thanks!

G, thanks for the reply! I'll pickup some 6 gauge wire for the long, in-hull section. I think I'll look at 6ga connectors/wire as well for that last 3ft stretch to the battery as well then.

To...

Hey all,

I browsed through the last several pages and found a few threads similar to my project, but I wanted to throw out a pic of my planning for you guys to make suggestions and/or...

Thanks for the reply! Yeah, I think a GPS trolling motor is what I'll do. Sucks that everyone is sold out of kayaks AND motors (mostly) these days.

Wow...that Hobie PA 360 is awesome!! But $5000, omg lol.

Lol, I can imagine what you mean from that clip! rotfl

Thanks for the reply, SuperDave. That's kinda what I was expecting to hear. I think I'll probably stay the course with my new plan for...

For those of you that have a pedal kayak, what has your experience been while trying to hold your spot (like right over a brush pile) with a bit of wind? Here in Kansas we have no shortage of...

This is so close to myself that I could've typed it, lol.

I had EVERYTHING leashed when I started. However, I also carry a knife on my life vest that I can grab easily to free myself. I will...

I never had an issue breaking the zipties, but I don't use huge ones. Don't use the little dinky ones either though, or they'd probably snap all the time.

If you get to really giving it a pull...

I went out yesterday at El Dorado. There is no boat ramp at Shady Creek now!...it's completely under water, lol. The little docks to the side of the boat ramp look the same as in your pics. You'll...

That would be fun, skeeter! I think I would be the one doing all the learning, lol. You guys are much more of a fisherman than I'll ever be. :cheers2

Yep, I tend to keep one or two onboard! However, one thing I really need to do is get more tackle. I have a lone bag that holds most of my stuff, which means the bag goes into the boat, or kayak,...

Thanks, guys!

Got a Chaparral H2O 19 Ski & Fish. Really liking it! ....but still wish I had a dedicated fishing boat, lol. We went with a more family friendly boat, but still has a livewell,...

Bumping back from the dead....

FINALLY got around to purchasing a charger. Got busy and forgot about it. It arrived today, so I'm gonna try to get to installing it over the weekend if I can.
...

It's about time I caught some fish! Mainly been using the boat for family stuff, but with the cool water and air temps, it's fishing time for me!

Caught several really quickly yesterday as soon...

I appreciate the ideas, fellas. Nice to have something to work with!

Cool, thank you both. I appreciate the link to that NOCO, Cray! I'm reading about it right now.

I'll be up front and honest: I'm an idiot about this stuff. :dono

I need some sort of charger for the battery on my MotorGuide. My boat has two batts- one for the ship, and one for the TM,...

Nice job! Let us know what you think of the Garmin.

Good tip!

Yeah, I'm sure they would cover it. I decided to just pay out-of-pocket to keep rates from going up. That way, Heaven forbid, if we have a real accident then it won't be two on our record in three...

I have the Striker 4DV on my Trident 13. I rigged up a PVC arm for the transducer since I didn't know if I wanted to drill into the kayak. The Garmin works well enough and I can see it well, but...

Hey guys, I'm sorry for the slow response. I want to thank each of you for your input! Lots of good stuff here.

So, this is why I haven't been back to my thread. I've been dealing with another...

Who has one? I'm looking to replace my Ocean Kayak Trident 13 with some kind of pedal yak.

Really liking the Old Town Predator PDL right now. After watching a lot of videos, it's really got my...

Great idea, Schins! BTW, I just replied to your quote in the other thread regarding my kayak.

Ocean Kayak Trident 13: (Note: older model, maybe a 2013?)

Pros:
- STORAGE! Tons of room and...

Schins,

Hey, sorry for the late reply, I've been out of town with the family getting some snowboarding in one last time!

My Trident is decent, don't get me wrong, but for extended hours on the...

A few years ago we picked up a used Perception Pescador (10ft) off Craigslist for my wife. It's the same model sold in at least one of the big stores. It has been a great kayak.

I have a 13 foot...

I think my wife would agree with you on the spray thing...I can hear it now, lol! Good point. I hadn't considered it having never owned a boat before. Thanks!

Good info, Dave! Thanks! Still enjoying that Alumacraft? The Missus and I are going to have a good chat about our needs on walk-thru vs side console. The extra room, like you mentioned, sounds...
