DUDE LOOK'S GOOD ,,,,,IM DOING MINE AS WELL GREEN LIGHTS ,,,,,WITH A TWIST BLUE LIT UP ROD TUBES
Did you find FPV-Power (based in Australia) for your switches and power management hub?
no i can' find them as yet
I gotta say that looks good
I know these don't get a lot of views but they are probably some of the best rigged/setup vids for the hobie yaks on youtube. Im getting one this year hopefully and will be using your videos to set my stuff up. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with what works out well.
Thanks for watching.
Nice work Tim! To be clear, the button lights are SELF-TAPPING, so there is no need to use a tap. Just drill the hole using the supplied 9mm drill bit and then use a 5/8" socket to screw them into the hull. The housing will tap itself into place. Also, we make a Power Adapter Kit that maintains the correct RED/BLACK wire polarity for all of the required connections when using a battery above deck to reverse power to the system through a Power Port. Your install turned out really clean. Thank you for choosing Yak Power!
I only read instructions if it's made by IKEA... actually this is one those times I should have read the instructions first on the LED Button lights. I thought I came up with a great idea...until I actually read the instructions, which was after I finished everything and posted the video.
What is the brand of the USB port
I would totally mess my kayak up BUT the lights looks legit as can be nice work !!!!!
Thank you.
Another great install video. I look forward to these each season. Thanks Tim!
Mark Grant Jr. Thank you
Thanks for your time and know how great video lots of info. Does Yack Power have a jack for BerleyPro Orb mounted on stern?
They do't have a specific jack for the BerleyPro ORB, I used their Power Port and installed that into the hull and added a Power Plug to the ORB so it would plug into the Power Port.
@@TimPercyKayakFishing Thanks Awesome !
Tim what is the box next to the relay box tie wrapped to the second scupper tube you call it a Back bone ? Also if using back access hatch for Batteries what extension wire to buy to connect ?
The backbone is part of the NMEA2000 kit, which is needed for the Point1. It's like a power/network distribution hub. It gives power to the Point1 and takes the signal/data from the Point1 and connects it to the Lowrance unit. Yes, I have the dual FPV-Power 17.5ah batteries in the rear hatch now. I use the FPV-Power pigtail and added longer wires to come up to the front. I will doing a video on the new FPV-Power Distribution Hub soon and I will be showing the wiring setup outside the kayak....I haven't received my new PA yet, so I'm not able to do an install video yet.
@@TimPercyKayakFishing Thanks For your quick reply! Looking forward to your new video on the new FPV-Power Distribution Hub you the man Thanks again!
You say that you fish at night do you use any front nav lighting or don't we need them in Michigan, I'm new to all of the rules for yaks, you have the best way for power and wiring I really like your setup. I'm glad I got the Pro Angler 14 you had much to do with that.
keith rogers Keith a rarely fish at night, I do a lot early morning launches though. Navigation lights are not required on kayaks in my area. My understanding is navigation lights are for vessels under power. It can be an issue if an approaching vessels sees your navigation lights and assumes youh are under power and can move out of the way.
Hi Tim! I'm your newest fan! Out of Brazil! and find this video very instructive. Can you give me more details about the lithium battery you're using? Congratulations on your channel!
Thank you. I use Bioenno Lithium batteries. I have a 30Ah and a 20Ah. I generally use the 30Ah on my PA with the Lowrance HDS Carbon with 3D StructureScan, because it uses a lot of power. The 20Ah is big enough to power my Lowrance Elite9 Ti's all day, probably a couple days, but I always put it on the charger at the end of the day.
You make it look so easy
Daniel Walker Thank you
Good info. I would probably have a meltdown of all them wires. Lol. Will you be using power pole and fish finder form your compas when you are using the pro angler 14
Kevin Sandells Thanks for watching. I have separate Lowrance units and Power-Poles for both.
Hi Tim i keep watching your videos you make it look easy. You had replied in on of your comments that your measurement from mounting boards to hole for button lights is about 1''. I see the cable (lines) behind the hull wall about same area. I have a question what is the purpose of those lines on Port & Starboard. If button light shaft behind hull is touching cables or touching the wire will it effect the workings?
The lines are part of the rudder controls(steering). They could wear through the line (if the hard surface of the button light is jammed against it) or the line could wear through the button light wires if they are jammed against it. I haven't had an issue yet...just reach in behind from the front hatch and check to see if they are rubbing
@@TimPercyKayakFishing Thanks Again Tim!
How much u charge to set up mine ?
Unless you live on Canada, it would impossible for me to travel with COVID restrictions. :)
Which 2 to 1 step down butt connectors do you use, and where do you get them?
All the plugs/connectors are available through Yak-Power. Any other connections I have to make, I just solder and use marine shrinktube over the joint.
Nice wiring setup!
Dael Thank you
Great setup, thanks! I actually am running most the things you have. I went to Yak Attack power box and it sits just behind the plano boxes in the middle. Question...I want to do the same things with the light and feel that wire running. What is the measurement you have from the bottom of the mounting boards?
I went about 1" down. The button lights are actually self-tapping, so you wouldn't need to run a tap through like I did. Just be cautious when screwing the lights in, that the wires don't bind up...make sure the wires turn while you are screwing the lights in or you run the chance of twisting the wires out.
Thanks! Looks good..
Tim, do you prefer the yak power button lights over the light strips you previously used? I'm in the process of figuring out the best electrical setup for my kayak. Thanks for all the great vids!
Kale Buffenmeyer Rhanks for watching. Yes, I do prefer the Yak-Power button lights; it's a cleaner and easier setup.
Tim Percy Kayak Fishing do you happen to know the lumen output or amp draw? Thank you for your response
Hi Tim, its me again, another question, what is the model of your pelican case? Thanks and looking forward for your next videos! Regards, your friend from Brazil.
Mauricio Maisonnave it's the 1200 series Pelican case.
What battery are you using and is it powering everything on the boat ?
I have been using Bioenno Power batteries. I have a 30ah on one kayak and a 20ah on another. I should have another video up in a couple days with another battery option and storage location.
Great job! What flag is on the BerleyPro Orb?
It's the BerleyPro flag that comes with it.
@@TimPercyKayakFishing that's cool, didn't know it came with a flag! Thanks for the reply sir.
I would like to install this on my PA14. As I'm on a fixed income, would you please tell me what is the cost of the materials that you used on your installation? Great video. Thank you very much.
Charlie Mutter
Which components do you wish to install?
Dude! Go to yak power on line and look for yourself. Pretty simple. Prices are all there except a few plugs which you can find all of it at bass pro (or their website).
Tim, didn’t you get two 2017 PAs last year? Why a new one this year?
I still have the camo PA. I updated the dune one to the 2018... I have too much time on my hands in the winter.
Where’s part 1 ?
ua-cam.com/video/XhR5y9YVt38/v-deo.html
just so that I don’t blow a fuse I just want some clarification. Your power in is connected to a flush sae connector which is then connected to your battery box. Is your battery hooked up opposite? I could be wrong here but I just want to make sure
The Yak-Power Power Ports are the opposite of what the power input is on the module when you plug them together. You will notice the the positive and the negative are opposite when plugged together. The plug off my battery is opposite to the Power Port. So when I plug my battery into the Power Port, the positive is going into the negative side and negative into the positive, when it gets to the module its correct as that plug is reversed... a little complicated, but just make sure your positive gets to positive input side of the module and the negative gets to the negative.
Tim Percy Kayak Fishing okay so the power source goes negative-positive-negative? I think I get it now thanks!
Tim ,do you have a video on the pelican power box ?
Great videos . thanks
Galen Brosette I don't, but if you email me, I can send you some pictures
I would of love to see the video of the pelican case too. Could you email me some pics. Love the idea.
Kennethbellejr@yahoo.com. Thanks
email sent
gt.brosette@gmail.com
coreyrscottpharmd@gmail.com, send pics of battery box also, What lights did you find to be best for night fishing in cockpit
Have a link to part 1 ?
ua-cam.com/video/XhR5y9YVt38/v-deo.html
can you tell me the size of tap you used for the button light threads?
Sorry, I can't remember the exact size. If you are installing them into plastic, you won't need a tap...I discovered after I did this install. The drill provided is the correct size, and the button lights are self-tapping (into plastic).
@@TimPercyKayakFishing thank you for the reply
are you selling any of your Pro Anglers?
IMFISHNGUY Mr last year's Pr o Angler is at Summit Sports in Michigan, it's for sale.
Do you find the Yak Power system to be more cost effective than building your own?
Yes, I've used other switch panels, but I've gone with the Yak-Power system on my last three kayaks. It keeps things clean and simple. I'm all about 'bang for your buck', if it doesn't pass that test, I won't use it.
Thanks-Great video as always.
Thank you
Sorry for the unrelated question, what are your thoughts about transporting your PA’s to the water? Scupper cart or something like Boonedox? I don’t mind the scupper carts but don’t like losing rear storage space to store the cart while on the water. Just curious if you had any suggestions. Thanks
James Schick I know a lot of guys like the Boondox, I just use a scupper cart. Sometimes, I put it in the back, but most times I put it back in my truck.
