I installed my YakPower system 3 years ago already... I use "" for my fish finder, "B" for my forward and aft YakPower green LED external light strips, "M" for my 10 Sunpie rock lights (turned for music I might add), "S" for my stern light, "2" is for dual 12v ports, dual USD lights and LED power display. Running a 36 lb. Rear mount salt water rated trolling motor, power control module for the trolling motor, 50 watt 1.1 aH solar panel on my milk crate box with a 54 aH Dakota LiPo battery... on a sunny day... I never run out of power and still have plenty of power for lights and trolling motor for night fishing. I bought a Big Fish 120 and she is an awesome yak… but I had to install a 4” inspection port to do all the wiring from… it was a chore for sure

Dielectric grease them then shrink wrap the connectors.

You will be thankful you did. Also as someone stated save your drill shavings for future repairs. But nice job.

@@BeardedDadFishing Thank you man. Keep making your videos. You have no idea how helpful they really are to people. There’s not that much information out there on specific things. Especially not for the old town 136. So I truly do appreciate it. You’ve also inspired me to create my own videos when I actually receive the kayak. I also saw a video where you were saying that there is a dads club. I would join, but I didn’t know if it really was dads only. Unfortunately I’m not a father.

@@delpernicus4847 my pleasure man! I’m stoked that my videos have helped you out and I do appreciate the kind words. Yes feel free to jump into the group even if you’re not a dad. Plenty of non dads in there but all men are influences to young ones around them in some capacity (nieces, nephews, young cousins, siblings, etc) that they can help guide and be a role model for. That’s really the point brother 🤙🏽

Do you think the 3m adhesive will withstand temps above 120°F?
@BeardedDadFishing Жыл бұрын
Yes I don't think it should have any issues at 120, though near me, it doesn't get much past 100 on the worst days.

Why both lights are green. I thought one should be red and the other one green

Where do you put your battery
@BeardedDadFishing Жыл бұрын
On this kayak I put the battery in the front hatch but it can also be kept in a battery box in the rear tank well depending on your set up.

Can't seem to find 20 in Bow lights in Red and Green. Only the 10 inch come Red & Green. Any suggestion?
@BeardedDadFishing Жыл бұрын
I've only been able to find the bow lights in 10" in red and green bud. Amazon does have some other brands that may work but reviews are mixed and extra wiring may be required.

@@BeardedDadFishing I found 20 in red & green. They come with stripped ends so I can twist them into a Yak split/pig tail and it becomes plug and play. Thank You for your comment.

I see you have links but do you have an estimate on what you spent on all electronics? Battery, fish finder and light setup?
@BeardedDadFishing2 жыл бұрын
Approximately $1,350 in total. $700 for the garmin, $300 for switch and lights, $250 for the battery, and $100 for the various mounts. The price can certainly be cut down depending on the options chosen.

Does this stuff work on BKC
@BeardedDadFishing Жыл бұрын
It will work on any kayak. The principals are the same, you’ll just have different mounting points.
