Your outlaw videos got me here. The 334 got the sub! We down here in L.A. maybe bump into you one day. Great videos. Thank you.

Thank you, glad my videos have helped out. Definitely maybe so I’m here in Alabama.

Thanks for this video and the very clear instructions. I love your deploy setup - especially how clean and tight the cable is so that it’s never in the way of your feet. I’ve tried to do this several different ways on top of the deck and it’s never not in the way. How did you get it to be the perfect length to make the handle always stay tight against the kayak?

@334tacticaloutdoors 3 ай бұрын

Thank you. Tie the cord to the handle first pull it to the trolling motor and where it ties on to the carabiner just make it about a 1/2” shorter than what you want it to be before u tie it on.

Great video! Very good explanations and tutorial. Just what I was looking for ,just got my Motor Guide XI3 in for my Titan X for next season. Thanks again. What length shaft is that on your Motor Guide?

@334tacticaloutdoors 8 ай бұрын

Thank you, It’s a 36” shaft.

How did you ger the bike clamp on? Did you have to take the head unit off?

@334tacticaloutdoors 2 ай бұрын

Yes my head unit was off when I put the clamp on.

Thanks for a great video. I'm planning on an xi3 on my Crescent Shoalie and I like your idea with the bungee. I had a pa14 with an xi3 and had to reach up and push it out to deploy. Only question I have is how do you get it to turn to stow? Every time I tried to stow the one on the hobie it would turn the motor down and prop up and I had to again reach up and manually turn it so it would stow. What was I doing wrong? Thanks

I keep my pull rope tight around the collar it’s set so the the motor is facing side ways coming up.

How did you get the bicycle seat lock lever on the shaft?

@334tacticaloutdoors 4 ай бұрын

I put it on when I had the head of the trolling motor off.

@kenestra123 8 ай бұрын

The bicycle seat clamp just below the Motor Guide head is meant to be tight and not allowed to spin on the shaft per say? Some of the other installs that I have seen have a Pan-Optics 2-piece collar on there and it is not tightend and it is allowed to spin with the rope. I ordered the same bike clamp you used so I will try that out first. I am thinking that it should be not allowed to spin like your set-up as the motor head has to rotate and lay on its side when fully protracted and lying in the home position. Sorry for the long drawn-out question.

When it doesn’t spin around like the ones you see. When you pull the trolling motor back out the water you can control it better.

i love your videos. i would like to thank you. I just wanted to let you know that the emage quality of the videos is quite bad. Your videos are uploading at 480p - KZfaq gihest quality was 480p in 2008, perhaps a better camera or diffrent upload process at a higher video resolution. Your outlaw videos have been amazing. Thank you ones again.

@334tacticaloutdoors 10 ай бұрын

Thank you, the videos are in 1080p I use a GoPro hero10 and a iPhone 14pro max for videos. That’s the highest quality KZfaq will allow me to upload. Now that you mentioned it I went in and looked and yes it’s in 480p that’s all they’ll allow.

@@334tacticaloutdoors I wonder why. there has to be a way as most of the videos i see now days are at 4k, Ether way..keep up the videos. thank you so much.

@334tacticaloutdoors 10 ай бұрын

@Davidfca1 you’re welcome, yea I’m gonna figure out why it’s doing that and get a better quality. I appreciate you bringing it to my attention.

@avan2620 6 ай бұрын

My problem is a lot of times when pulling the motor up to stow it, it turns different ways. Most of the time its nose up so I have to re-deploy it and keep pulling it back up until it sits right. I'm guessing the clamp you are using fixes that, or do you run into that at all?

@334tacticaloutdoors 6 ай бұрын

Yes the clamp helps with that. We all have the problem of the motor wanting to roll around and not come up to stow properly. Having the clamp to pull the motor up sideways is the trick to help with that.

How did you flare the flex pipe?

@334tacticaloutdoors 5 ай бұрын

I put the pipe through the hole then heated the ends with cigarette lighter then pressed the ends with a wood block. It doesn’t take much to get the ends to flare.
