Where did I put that Y connector? Ha ha ha... nice install video. You have a new sub!
Thank you very much. These project would go so much faster if I didnt spend so much time looking for stuff right in front of me. LOL
I feel like these kayak companies ,should have lights and wire options available for different lights and fish finders . The money we spend on them just add it to the cost . Ty for the video lights are nice .
I agree. Fish finders are installed on almost all "fishing" kayaks so having actual through hull from factory seems like it should be included. Light should definitely be something that motorized kayaks have from factory.
@@KainOutdoors kinda annoying, gotta hunt down fish finder mounts live scope mounts ,batteries when there should just be ready made higher priced yaks
Pilot holes are always a good idea!
At time 4:48 it shows you have plugged in the port side light, however you have the green light strip snapped in there. In the end when you turn them on the green light is on the STB side where it belongs so you must have caught your mistake and corrected it. Pointing it out incase others follow what you are doing.
These are not navigation lights. They are all green.
Great video.. just the right amount of info...now I can order my light kit..great job
I really enjoyed your video. Good job and clean install
Thank you
Nice video
Great video! Thank you
great video
Sweet setup, I been thinking about lights but I don't go on my yak at night. Thanks again for the walk through, I might be doing this later on this year.
Do you a 12V 10ah ?
Nice work, and solid vid. I don't do much night fishing (or even low light) precisely because I am not lit up, but I am saving your video because sometime in the future I plan on lighting mine up for just this. Can I ask though, why you didn't use any marine goop on the led strip light inserts as a precautionary measure?
Thank you. I am looking forward to trying more night fishing. I really wanted them for safety since I sometimes launch in the dark to get to my spots by day light. Its a very small boat and there is always a lot fo traffic so I really want to be visible.
You certainly could use adhesive. With the gasket it comes with and the fact it actually threads its self into the plastic I thought it was not necessary on those strip lights or the button lights. I did add adhesive on the safety screw because it a very tiny screw and the the plastic piece it screws through is just surface mounted and the adhesive backing does not extend onto it.
@@KainOutdoors Ok. Thanks. I understand about being the small boat in a big boat world. I fish a Topwater 120 PDL, but last year we launched in an area near a ferry terminal and had to cross the ferry path. It is really disconcerting when a boat that large is bearing down on you, even if logically you are a safe distance from it, it is still a little nerve wracking
Awesome video bro
This is a great install video. Looking at light options for my new kayak. Are all of the lights green?
Nice job
Yak-Power should really make Left and Right l.e.d. strips. I have yet to install my lights, but noticed that one side will have the logo upside down. That is unless I don't care about having the plug ends both facing the forward position. Not a big deal, but it's just weird that they didn't think of that since most will mount the strips on each side of the kayak
Thats so funny I actually cut that out of my video but it was bothering me also. I was thinking of a way to cover the names. LOL
what kinda glue did you use when you put the bow light tiny screw?
just some marine silicone.
What size battery do you have and about how many hours do you get from all those light?
Thanks for sharing .. how is the wireless switch performed? Is it still working fine? I'm looking to get one and wasn't sure how reliable wireless function is.
Yes its still working great. I have not even changed the battery.
So, it's 3 yrs later, any remorse?
No its still working great. Still on the same battery in the remote. ONe of the red button lights stopped working this year. I have not reached out to Yak Power to see if a can replace it though.
Why would you have nav lights color on the back as well? Hard to tell which way you are heading at night with green on both ends. Lol
They are not nav lights. All the lights are green. There is no motor on this kayak so nav lights are not required.
@@KainOutdoors The green lights is to attract a bait fish.
Great video. Where did you get your cart or wheels.
Its Wilderness Systems HD cart. I got it on amazon. Its a great cart with a 450lbs capacity. amzn.to/2ypyE12
@@KainOutdoors thanks. I’ve been looking to upgrade my cart for my pdl 120.
So I plan on buying this yak power system is all of the control wireless? Your video has been the only one I have seen that wasnt drilled into the kayak. How yours was the only one that has been on a gear track. I really like that idea. And info would be great. Thanks.
This newer version does NOT need the controller to be flush mounted! There are no wires attached . . .
So you don't need the phone app to use the remote correct?
No. The app isnt necessary at all.
@@KainOutdoors thank you! 👍
Nice video
