Hey everyone! Looking for everyone's ideas on how to best dry out a plastic kayak with limited hatches on a regular basis so that it can pass quagga muscle inspection. Its a. Hobie, with the one 8-in or so Access point. Obviously I will put it up with the drain hole at the very bottom in the Sun for a bit. Any other thoughts? submitted by /u/rusticandy [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I took the time measuring and making my own spacers if anyone also wants them. I need them for my Big Water 132. Maybe others can use them as well. They’re 2 inches. submitted by /u/jescereal [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I have a Hobie Lynx which I use frequently to fish. I'm retired so I take it out twice a week or so to fish here in Florida. I recently found a crack in the bottom in one of the scupper wells. No idea how it got there. Very frustrating. This thing is fragile. I love the lightness of it, but you have to be very careful. Since it had a crack, it definitely took in some water. I have since sealed the crack with some JB weld putty but I don't know how to get the water that is in there out. There are no drain holes and I don't think you can remove any of the black inserts for draining. Does anyone ..read more

I bought a Helix 7 side imaging fish finder and mounted the transducer in the universal transducer mount cutout underneath my Old Town PDL 106. It looked like the transducer was sitting a good 1/2" below the bottom of the kayak, but I figured I guess that's just how it goes. As I was launching the kayak for the first time the transducer snagged on a root and broke off. Is the underneath transducer mount suitable for launching from rough terrain and sliding the kayak across the ground, and I just botched the install, or should I get an over the side transducer mount instead? submitted by /u/r ..read more

Have fished out of countless kayaks but recently picked up this old town used 14’ for $200 and run it with a 55lb trolling motor also got used for $100. I’ve had a hobie, older Jackson and I have a nucanoe flint. But I think for 95% of freshwater I’m picking this, more space and capacity and weighs the same and this is a heavy canoe. Running an anchor wizard off the stern and Scotty of the bow and wind is no issue. For saltwater or big waves and heavy currents I still would definitely pick the hobie or other pedal kayak but motors definitely nice in calm waters. And can easily run all the ..read more

This is the rail for a tandem Brooklyn 13.0 pro. It’s not a T bolt style and it’s closed on the ends so I can’t slide anything into the track and I’m not really sure what I can screw into it for accessories, any advice appreciated! submitted by /u/Right-Somewhere104 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hey Guys, I currently have a old town sarnac and have finally decided to register it and get it on the saltwater. and was looking for ideas on how to get more runtime out of my motor. I currently have a Minnkota motor, 12v 30 pounds of thrust, and a Mighty max SLA battery 55ah 12v. On freshwater I usually get around 3-4 hours of life out of my battery. Since I spend a lot of time out on the water, what would be the most ideal situation battery wise to get more life out of the motor? I was considering maybe just paddling half of the trip, but switching form using a kayak to that cannoe will ma ..read more
