Lifetime Tamarack trolling motor test.
This is the best build I have seen and this video is about 5 years old. Did you ever make a step by step on how this was done? I have the exact same kayak and would love to set mine up similar to yours.
Great fcking timing by your boyfriend with the fcking blower! Stopped watching right after the GD ruler... WTF
So, 3 years later, are you happy with the foot pedal rail placement....or would you make any changes? I'm in the process of pretty much duplicating your build. Those factory molded in foot ridges are kind of a pain. Awesome build!
Very happy with the foot pedal placement. Good luck with your build!
Great build! I added all of the totals up and got 386.03 for everything but the kayak and the stadium chair.
Super clean set up. Yep, going to copy yours.
What do I need to do to get my older kayak registered and tagged. I have no title or receipt.
This is probably the cleanest set up on a tamarack ive seen. Very nicely done man.
👍🏼
How did you hook up the kill switch?
The kill switch is nothing more than a break in the positive cable from the battery to the pwm. Install the kill switch between the two.
Hi there! Love what you did here! A client of mine recently gifted me a lifetime tamarack and I am recreating your set up. Just one question so I can be finally done. How did you hook up the pwn motor? You said 2 leads go to the battery and 2 to the trolling motor?
Correct
Which stadium seat did you upgrade it with and how is it attached?
There's a link in the description below. I riveted pad eyes into the kayak on all 4 corners of the seat, and attached the seat to the pad eyes with mini bungee cords.
How much you want to do my kayak?
Where are you located, and what kayak do you have?
Great video, one of the best mod's I've seen. Question: how did you thread the motor steering cables through the kayak?
A metal coat hanger worked for me.
nice kayak what model is this?
Thanks! It is a Lifetime Tamarack Angler 10'
Nicely done 👍
Beautiful setup ! I might have have do the same thing !
FANTASTIC JOB!!!...I have the exact same kayak, color and all. Was just looking for a simple way to mount a motor but your way goes above and beyond..I WANT IT!!!...MORE INFO PLEASE!!!
Can we see how you built that trolling motor on to the kayak tutorial video? It looks clean
Best tamarack setup I've seen yet.. excellent job man
Thanks for the comment and support!🤙
This thing is definitely the best kayak I’ve seen on UA-cam super clean job on everything. Can I get some more info on your speaker mount
awesome job bro....do you find the kayak tracks lower into the water? would love to see how she handles in a little chop and see how the transom with the c30 does in the water
great set up my friend! very similar to mine, i will send you the link. I fish for striped bass and other big game fish, therefore I keep the cockpit open. I power her with the watersnake - do you find the C30 gives you more power? how many hours do you get out of your 35ah battery? With my Mighty Max I get 4 to 6 hours (with a 9w solar panel). Since you fish salt I also highly recommend outriggers, you will immediately notice a huge difference
i just heard your commentary - 4.5 hours...impressive. I also have a pulse modulator for my C30. Would love to see a video of her in the water bro
Thanks for the support bro. This was my first kayak build, and unfortunately, I sold this yak to upgrade to something a bit more stable. My new yak is powered by a watersnake T24 saltwater motor. The difference in power between the C30 & the T24 is not noticeable. However, the T24 will give you more run time on a battery charge, as it only draws 20 amps on high speed, and the C30 draws 30 amps on high speed. My new yak is being powered by a 50AH Lithium, and it allows me to run in saltwater for 8-9 hours when fishing the marsh! I have been getting some requests, so I am about to start building for private customers really soon. Stay tuned for more custom yak builds.
Indeed awesome review. id love to do a motor one day.
How exactly did you run that turnbuckle through the clamp on the shaft? I have the same trolling motor and have no clue how to make mine work like that with a turnbuckle because one side of the clamp fits the nut and the other is just a hole, which means a turnbuckle would have slop in it, if it would even go. Thanks for the video!
Brent Curry- the steering arm is made of (2) 3/8" eyebolts, and (2) nuts that are made to join all thread rods together. The hole in the clamp was drilled a little larger, to pass the bolt through, as well as provide a larger hole for the all thread nuts to settle into the clamp. Do not over tighten the eyebolts, as it doesn't require alot of tension to hold the clamp tight to the motor shaft. Hope this helps!
Creole Yak Angler thank you so much. I’m at Lowe’s now and I found the eye bolts that I needed. I was almost positive you had to drill that clamp out a bit to get that to work when I looked at my trolling motor. Thanks man, wicked yak build!
@@brentcurry9698 you're welcome brother. Thanks for the support!🤙
How did you get the steering wires through the hull
Jimmy Pace- I heated a small center punch, to make the holes for the steering wires. Then use the middle and rear hatches to access the inside of the hull to pass your steering wires through, from front to back. Hope this helps!
Do you need a boat license for driving that right now because everyone’s telling me I need a boat license to operate that because it has a motor on it
Not sure, depending on where you live, and plan to operate your motorized kayak, your local laws determine whether or not your kayak has to be licensed/registered.
Your kayak is super sick dude I mean it is really nice I love how you got the trolling motor setup on it that's actually a great idea
Thanks!
Awesome job congrats
Thank you 🎣
I am going to rip off most of this. How much extra weight on board to setup to complete trolling motor system? I want to do these adds but don’t know if I will go over on weight.
@ebolamonkey - The total weight of all mods was 49 lbs. I have listed links to all of the parts I used during this build. I have since sold this kayak, and am in the process of building a new one for myself. (Outside of building for customers of course) lol.. I hope your tamarack comes out as good as this one did. Good luck and post a vid of your build! 👊
Creole Yak Angler where you located I’d pay for this setup
@@erikgonzalez9525 I'm located near Houston,TX. Do you currently own a Tamarack? If so, I can definitely customize your yak. If not, a complete package can be built for you. Let me know, and thanks for your interest in my custom mods. 👍
Creole Yak Angler i live in corpus !
@@erikgonzalez9525 Cool! Send me a DM on Instagram @ Creole_Yak_Angler, with your contact info, if you're interested in a custom yak. Looking forward to working with you!
Yes great build please show video of mount and steering
Well done! That is a very complete kayak. How tall are you and how much do you weigh?
@North wind - Thanks for the comments. I'm 5'5" 160
Clean, clean mods. Nice job.
Thanks. I appreciate the kind words. 👍
How did you make the control box? That’s a very neat setup you got bro!
Thanks for the comments bro. The control box, is a dry box from walmart, with a pwm speed controller mounted inside. The wires from the dry box go down into the hull from the bottom side of the dry box, to prevent moisture from entering, and affecting the controller electronics.
Very nice and clean install of everything. You should open your own Yak Outfitter business and do these installs for others and make some jack!
Thanks one sweet looking. Now how long will the battery last befor it has to be changed
I need this in my life. Probably need help with trolly tho
Love what you’ve done! Being a woman and not as physically strong, my concern would be how to load it in and out of my truck and the water by myself. I’m saving up for ‘The Skimmer” kayak trolling motor system. I REALLY love what you’ve done! 👍😎🎣 What kind of paint did you use on the sides and is it staying on?
Claudia...I have "The Skimmer" system and love it.....lightweight and easy to use...I am looking here for his foot control steering!
I also have a Tamarack and really like the fact you can customize it so much. I added a 55Lb thrust Newport but side mounted it. I like having the tiller in my hand and raising it isn't an issue. I also built outriggers for it but now only use them when pulling crab pots.
Some real clean installs, especially the trolling motor mount and lift, thanks for the vid
Very well done but you should add outriggers for stability. My experience with this boat is great just a little unstable but woth outriggers it made my kayak. Have a good day
agree. I have brocraft outriggers for mine and she is 100 times more stable
Great video showing your kayak. The questions that I have are: How do you transport it? How much does it weigh with the modifications?
@glenn brigan- Thanks for your questions. I transport my yak in the back of my pickup truck. With the current setup, I can lock the trolling motor in a stowed position without removing it during transport. It makes loading and launching alot easier and efficient. The total weight of the yak with all mods is 106.5 lbs. The yak weighs 57.5 lbs from the factory, and all mods total 49 lbs. I hope this helps. 🎣
@@creoleyakangler6642 how much do you weigh?
Nice job!
@Richard Marsh- Thank you! 🎣
Very nice kayak!
@Cast N Blast - Thanks bro 🎣
Very impressive... Been thinking bout 2 blue robotics t200 hundred thrusters on either side of the kayak but been struggling with steering solution... This might be simpler and more cost effective. Can you figure out a way to put T.M. in stow position for when you're scaping bottom?
How is the Fresh Water Minkota doing in Salt Water? Nicely set up Kayak.
@Steven Hill -Thanks for the kind words. So far to date, I haven't experienced a single issue with the trolling motor setup. Everything works as it did when I first did the modifications. Keeping in mind that the marshes I typically fish have some fresh water influence from rainwater runoff from time to time. 🎣
Trolling motor setup is really well thought out. I’ve been trying to plan out how I want to do mine but that is solid
Great work man !!!! Can’t wait to do some of the mods two mine!!!
Kudos for not wasting $5000 on a plastic boat that seats one, and barely holds fishing gear. Here's to all of you jon boat people that have $500 in a motor boat that will take you miles away from the launch!
Those stadium seats are a damn ass saver
Nice clean job for sure ,just have one question...... doesn't look like you have used this yak much and my question is does the pwm get hot in that waterproof box ??? I've looked all over and can't find any proof that will not get hot....I put mine in a waterproof box also and drilled holes.... I've not tested it yet but feel sure it will overheat if no ventilation !! I would kindly appreciate your input !!thank you !!😁
@Ricky Hill- Thank you for the comments and questions. I can tell you that I take my kayak out at least 2-3 times per month, on fishing trips that last up to 7 hours. While I don't use the motor continuously for that time frame, I've never experienced any overheating from the pwm. Bear in mind that it's being used in the south Texas marsh, where it's really hot. I hope this response helps. Tight lines🎣
This thing is bad ass!
