Just purchased a Golden Hawk canoe 12'9" with a square stern for a 4hp Yamaha 4stroke gonna rig it for catfish'n similar to your kayak just a canoe is the platform I went with. I've got plenty of storage for bait,tackle and gear and I can stand up stretch the legs as well. Love your video's Justin, keep chasing & living that dream.

Have a similar problem with Wilderness Systems trolling mount on the stern. The mount fits on Kayak fine, but it is too thin for my preferred trolling motor to fit snugly. KZfaq video recommends gluing cutting board shaped to fit motor mount. Nothing disappoints me more than companies building products that only work on what they choose to sell me. Glad you had available what you needed without a home made remedy.

Must be nice to get a new trolling motor so quickly. Ive had a Garmin Force ordered since the beginning of March. Had an estimated delivery date of 4-20 thru 4-25. Well here we are on July 14th, and Russell Marine still has no clue when it will be in stock!!! I bet if Scott Martin needed a new Garmin, he would get it overnight!!!

What happened to the hobie evolve you reviewed previously? Did it fail? Have you done a video on how the motorguide performs? I would love to know your thoughts on the comparison evolve to motorguide. Deciding soon on something to power my pa 14 for saltwater use and having trouble figuring it out.
@rondellperry8320 3 жыл бұрын
Hey Justin here's an idea for your anchor sticks what if you use some type of screwing mechanism on the tips of your anchor stick and then you push down and turn or could that become too much of a hassle? Just a thought you probably already thought of.

Another great video that I have watched for the second time now. And you got me thinking of getting the Hobie. Now that you have had the trolling motor on for awhile now what do you think of it. Pro’s and con’s. Do you think it could be set up as a transom mounted motor and work ok? Just thinking of a different set up in my head. Did you also try the first motor mounting plate with a piece of cutting board in the gap on the front? From the view on video it only looks like a 1/2” gap or more. The One objective mount has a thicker piece going between the handle and the front of kayak. I maybe over thinking it.
@KayakCatfish 2 жыл бұрын
I answered the pros and cons on one of your previous comments. I do think you could mount it on the transom and I have been thinking about trying it out there. It would make spot locking in the winter better because I wouldn't be facing into the wind. I didn't try to diy the first mounting plate to make it fit. If I spend that much on a mount, it better fit without modification.
@BrokeBackBob4559 2 жыл бұрын
@@KayakCatfish sorry for asking you a question a second time. With all the videos I watch of yours and other KZfaqrs out there I can’t remember if I had asked you or not. Since I broke my back August 30th this year I have nothing to do but watch videos and try and gain knowledge from others out there. Thank you again for your time and the help that you give to other people without the knowledge of the sport we love so much. I LL give you a break for awhile and not comment on your videos LOL. You need your space also.
