I bought some 1 1/4 pvc but it doesn't want to fit in my rod holders. Did you have a lot of trouble with this and how did you manage to get them in? I may try heating them up.
@@TulsaDave3 If the pipe is a bit tight to hold the rod, you might try a heat gun to warm it up enough to slide your rod in and it should retain its shape and fit when it cools. To cool it yu can dip in ice water or pour ice water on it to hasten the process. Hope this helps with your issue.
Dude, that is a sick design. I have been putting this design together for my feel free moken 12.5 in the ol noggin and seeing this affirmed that my version will be skookum like yours. Appreciate the details and self critique regarding paddle clearance. Extend arms a bit maybe? Anywho. Good luck on water.
Love it. In process of building myself some. I noticed you drilled into your pipes to allow for zip ties. Wouldn't that allow water to enter pipes and fill with water?
Looks great. Now that you've used this for a while, are there any changes that you would make if you had to do it again? Just took my Ocean Kayak into the deep blue but it was fairly calm. I can see I'd like outriggers if it were a little bit rougher out.
I basically had the same idea but I didn't think about making it a rod holder as well. I'm gonna do mine a little different. As for your slight paddle issue, I'd recommend getting some type of motor that you can rig up with a steering wheel mechanism.
If you created the same outrigger setup, but instead attached it to rod holders on the bow of the kayak, would it still offer the same support and do you think that would get them out of the way of paddling? Great video, got my brain moving on creating something similar!
You made this video about 5 years ago. Curious what your experience has been over the years? Also, did you consider using crab pot floats versus the boat fenders?
Thank you for the video. Very helpful. I want to use this layout but having a hard time coming up with the measurements. Do you still have those measurements?
Unfortunately I don’t have those measurements, but what I can tell you is the measurements are pretty much based around the space between your rod holders. Once you have the measurement you measure the rest as you go and make the appropriate cuts from there to attach Everything. I didn’t put measurements in the video because it’s going to be different for every kayak.
Hey Tommy. Great build on your stabilizers. I'm wondering what size boat fenders you used. I have 22 inch I'm planning to use on my 11.5 RA220 . Amazon has a set of 4 under $60. Also, I'm thinking for the paddling issue you could turn the 45 angles back toward the stern to move the fenders in the same direction which might give you the clearance you are looking for. Or even extend the floats another 6-8 inches out on each side. Hope this offers you alternatives to solve the paddle issue.
Another observation, and this is with the caveat that I am building one of these this Winter, is the horizontal pvc tube mount has penetrations that allow water to negate some of the buoyancy. One could use expanding foam to fill the voids. I have a 12' inflatable Sayvlor 3 person with a 72 lb trolling motor, 175 watts solar. The cargo weight is 500lbs without the outriggers. Test run coming as soon as I fit this thing out.
For this kayak as stable as I needed it to be for casting. I never felt like I could still flip over with em on there. You would have to purposely try to flip it.
I've seen DIY outriggers but I love the idea to also make rod holders. Great job man
Thanks!
This was put together well i like the rack holder stabilizer combo idea. Great job
LB7070 Thanks
I really like your design. Great job.
Thanks!

@@TulsaDave3 I may have heated the pvc up with a hair dryer. To fit em in snug.

You master mind, I love your design. I'm going to replicate it on my kayak, thank you.
Nice build brother practical but well executed. 👍
Thank you!
I’m planning on doing this. It’s very well made
Thanks!
just did my outrigger setup based of off of yours so thanks for sharing haha
Awesome! Let me know how it works out for ya.
Thanks.Very helpful.

very nice design and no drilling too
I like video friend 👍👍👍👍
Thanks for the video mine came out great 👍
Awesome!!!
To follow up that last question. Would you have made the rod holders lower? Outriggers further or closer? Thanks.
Love it. In process of building myself some. I noticed you drilled into your pipes to allow for zip ties. Wouldn't that allow water to enter pipes and fill with water?
Can you make a video on how to setup these things

Yeah that or my afterthought for the paddle issue was angling the floats back to give the paddle some clearance.
@@TOMBOfloRIDA
That could work too.
How much drag do they add? Is it noticeably more effort to paddle?

@@TOMBOfloRIDA Thanks bro. I think what I meant by it was how did you come up with the measurements. Mainly the vertical parts
@@sykostudios7423 I based it off the height of the backrest of my seat. So I could basically reach over my shoulder to grab the rods.
Nice job. Where did you get the locking pins?
Home Depot
harbor freight also has a box with different sizes.
@@TOMBOfloRIDA i have a rod holder as well, im going to incorporate outriggers into it using your concept. thank you great job
How much 1 1/4 pipe did you use

Do you need more power from legs for pedaling now?
This wasn’t on a pedal yak but It does create some drag so I’m sure it will
Can you add a list of supplies it took to build this? It looks to be exactly what I'm lookin for.....great thinking man
The supply list is in the video description. The cut lengths and such are gonna be dependent on your kayak and how it’s set up.
Could I get the measurements sir
What type of PVC did you used, PVC Dual Rated Pipe or PVC Schedule 40 Pipe
Its just that there are certain types of PVC types and I wouldnt like to use the wrong PVC
@@danielhernandez5639 Schedule 40, sorry for the late response
What kinda glue did you use?
PVC glue
How did the paint hold up for you? I have to rough mine up with sand paper first then primer. Many many tater guns of experience here.
The paint on those held up well. Some scratches and dings from general use. But I didn’t have to do any sanding

Can’t wait to try this on mine ! 👌🏼, where did you get your lock pins from??
Home Depot
How much more stable was it
For this kayak as stable as I needed it to be for casting. I never felt like I could still flip over with em on there. You would have to purposely try to flip it.
@@TOMBOfloRIDA okay I’m a big guy and just got a pretty decent kayak looking into building this
How far out from the kayak did you go
Its about 25 to 26 inches out from my kayak.
@@TOMBOfloRIDA is that 25 inches on both sides?
Great job. Could you stand up before you did this?
Thanks. For like a second or two I could stand without em. That boat definitely needed the floats.
