Since I've discovered your channel I've enjoyed your opinions and how you present information to make it easy to digest. Would love to see you do something on inflatable kayaks.

Great video. I'm thinking of installing the Newport NK 300 on my Hobie PA 14. What mounting bracket would you recommend?

Oneobjective mount is what I would suggest

I'm wanting to power my rs117 with a trolling motor in the back, the motors have that bar that extends directly behind the seat, is there a practical setup for using that comfortably and not having your gear in the way?

@thebeardedpaddler 26 күн бұрын

It will be aftermarket and DIY mainly. The SS series were really setup for motorizing more than the RS. I've seen people do it though. The lighter the motor the better.

NuCanoe Unlimited. Can I make this pivot drive as a tandem? Not the unicorn question, for other conditions, could I convert back to single and add front trolling at a later date?

@thebeardedpaddler 25 күн бұрын

You can. They sell a tandem conversion kit for the Pivot drive

@ksmith114 25 күн бұрын

@@thebeardedpaddler Thank You. To confirm, if in the future I wanted to temporarily remove the pivot, I could add the trolling on the front? Trying to avoid buying multiple kayaks. I know my wife would only go out with me.

I can't lie i love my auto pilot but now with the e PdL on the market, it’s the best of both worlds.

@thebeardedpaddler 21 күн бұрын

EPDL is definitely more of a niche kayak. Hasn't done well in this area but that may change in the future. People here still enjoy the Autopilots

How long does that battery last you if you're using it hard and in between. Looking hard at that cause I went out with a buddy with one and it looked so much better.

@thebeardedpaddler 13 күн бұрын

@@sethscott4211 I run The RedOdo 12v 100ah and I've never been below 60% after a full day. It always will depend on the amp/hour rating of your battery vs the amp draw of the motor. That will tell you how long you can run it

@sethscott4211 13 күн бұрын

@thebeardedpaddler ya the XI seems to be a popular one for kayaks so that was what I would be expecting to use. The second thing I was looking at was the 100ah for it. Thank sir. Appreciate it greatly for the info and response.

Great video! I enjoy paddling, but the wind where I live can make trying to both fish and paddle miserable. I spend more time positioning the boat than actually fish. Even for just paddling having a rudder with foot controlled steering helps immensely; keeps the boat from spinning as much and allows for some hands-free drifting.

@thebeardedpaddler 27 күн бұрын

Very good points. It's what got me into motorizing honestly. Still value in pedal drives, but the motor Is way more efficient

Good video as always. for myself its easy. I kayak ohio waterways, mostly for work, so I am in shallow water often dragging. this makes pedal/power setups worthless most of the time.

Also with a motorized kayak you may have to pay taxes on the price of it to get it tagged.

@thebeardedpaddler 27 күн бұрын

Most states won't have taxes unless the kayak value is over a certain amount. It will assess as a $0

Technically Power, Pedal and Paddle for me. I mainly use power, when/if it fails i have my pedal drive onboard (its happened) and if that fails my pedals have a spot on the kayak thats out of the way. Beyond that, means my kayak is at the bottom of the lake and im swimming.

Lol I use all 3 as well. It's been dry here so the rivers have been low. That's what I love doing the most
