Nice review Shane. I have the fish finder at the same place and ran the cables under the seat. Reverse the seat secure latches so they're easier to clip together, you'll have more room.

The plates up front are a very overlooked, but huge benefit on the BW compared to the Topwater 120.

You can buy stock aluminum t track online...cheap...cut to l length...cut ends at 45 degrees , round the corners with a file , drill two holes and mount over top of the existing slot tracks for a nice full length raised track....

Brother, your tattoo is a reason why I subscribed. Nick at Navarre Kayak Fishing covers these yaks fairly well. He shows how to fix the PDL if it breaks. Obviously if it's still under warranty, send it to O.T.. I like how you covered the BigWater from bow to stern. How do you like that Ram mount for your fishfinder? I was thinking about a Scotty mount, but now I'm not sure. Yak safe and tight lines!

Thank you brother! I love the ram mount because I can move it quickly without having to loosen anything. It’s awesome! Oh yeah Nick is the man. I reach out to him anytime I have an OT question haha

That boat is beautiful, and love the big water pdl. I have my 2022 Hoodoo impulse 120, I citrus orange. Fin drive, and run my J2 Bixpy, on the Vibe Gravity blade rudder, to fit my kayak, and cables, with the motor. Plenty of storage, stable. I love the ocean, but I'm a large mouth bass angler. But if you're in the ocean, even off shore on freshwater. Please spend the $19.99 on a bildge pump. I do have a real kayak sponge, in my emergency on the water dry bag kayak kit. But you'll be using that sponge forever, in an emergency. The difference between to he two is insane, after the test I did. 😎 🎣 🌊

On a non-pedal version, it doesn't look like I could transport this upside down on regular Yakima bars. I'd have to remove the seat and what other problems?
@Mars-77 Жыл бұрын
These PDL pedal drives work a lot better and smoother if you "glass" them. As in glassing a rifle. It's easy to do and makes a world of difference.
@YakLocal Жыл бұрын
Have you done it ? I’m curious to know more
@Mars-77 Жыл бұрын
@@YakLocal yes, cover the base with a thin layer of grease, sand/ruff up the inside of the kayak. Apply about a 1/4" of Bondo around the entire opening, and press and lock the drive. Let it set up an hour or so, and then release it and trim/sand any excess.

I like what you did with the front keel guard! Where'd you get the kydex and how did you shape it to fit your keel?
@YakLocal 3 жыл бұрын
I ordered the kydex on eBay it was like 3 sheets. Also I just drew the shape with pencil then cut it out and heat molded it to keel. It was actually really simple. The kydex is easy to work with once warmed up

@@YakLocal Great idea! What did you use to mold the kydex to the keel?
@YakLocal 3 жыл бұрын
@@OCOutdoorsman best way is to cut the kydex to shape then warm it all up with heat gun. Get it a little soft. Then put on keel. Use painters tape at tip and slowly heat it all the smooth out waves and it will harden perfect 👍🏻you can also reheat if needed

@YakLocal 3 жыл бұрын
I used a sheet of kydex. Reason for that shape is so at the bend it’s easier to handle and doesn’t get all wrinkled. Also no video on the cart I just went off a bunch on KZfaq and just spaced the pvc 8” from center

If your going to fish Ocean, harbors and jetty’s than definitely the Bigwater 132. Cuts through swell and waves great and is much faster than 120
