Got my first custom kayak and its time to set it up with some of the mods that I have found work best for me. Let me know if you have any questions...

Thank you for that rotogrip adjustment. I feel dumb that I didn't think of it myself, but that is perfect.

I just bought my SS127 and am looking to put some accessories on it... thanks for the great tips for the rotogrip and the front seat hold down... I will definitely be implementing them on my new toy

Those are some mods I hadn't seen before so thanks for sharing. That seat back tie down and roller grip height increase just make a lot of sense.

Just bought a 127. I appreciate the tips. Just a thought, cutting the perch pads around the track does look cool, but it might create a pool to hold water that may at some point seep into one of the 72 screw holes you have to drill to mount the tracks, and it makes the perch pads useless anyway. I just peeled the perch pads off and mounted the tracks. Like you said, when the boat is fairly new, the pads will easily peel off. You can stick them on some wax paper and save them for another project.

Great tips in this video. Although you didn't mention your Anchor Wizard set up. I also picked up my SS127 from Westbrook; best kayak on the market in my opinion. I'm currently running my Helix 5 using the YakAttack cellblok and I'm torn whether or not I should mount it on the pod. I keep thinking that the transducer will get beaten up if I don't take the pod out every time.
@ScottBeutjerFishing5 жыл бұрын
Jonathan Payne for the the pod is the only way to do it. Allows you to take everything involved with the fish finder for drop and play style ease on the water.

@kylecondra98795 жыл бұрын
Very well done! Can you make a video on how you mounted your fish finder? In another video I saw you had your dry pod sitting on the deck while you were putting in. How low is your transducer off of the bottom of your boat? Finally, what type of transducer do you have - side scan? Thanks and keep up the good work! Subbed for sure.

Scott Beutjer Fishing, thanks! I have seen before and didn’t think I needed it until I saw your video and how easy it is to store the bug spray and sunscreen. Always seems in the way in the junk drawer.
@ScottBeutjerFishing5 жыл бұрын
Kayak Dad I have them on all my bonafides, they just got right and are perfect for that little bit of extra storage space. I keep a terminal tackle box, bug spray and sun screen in my 24/7 so it’s something I never have to “remember” to pack.

Kick. Ass. Video. One question: I love the rotogrip mod, but there's one detail that was just sort of glossed over. You mention the "extended t-bolt" (MightyBolt). Is that the 1.5" or the 2"? Thanks brotha!
