FeelFree Lure Kayak TROLLING MOTOR SET UP!

yo what is up guys welcome back to the channel you probably clicked on this video cuz you got an update on my kayak over here give you that video let's go so let's go ahead and start from the back to the front shout out the googan baits angler tungsten red gills shout out to them that's pretty much all the stuff I use so starting with the back we're gonna start with this tackle bag this is actually a cooler tackle bag right now nothing in it that spot right there useful food and drink and usually some tackle maybe side pockets a couple tackle this part has my pliers fish grippers some tan I got this as well zip tied on to it and it's a three-piece rod holder holds three rods this one over here holds two rods zip tied as well now we'll go to the GoPro holder right here this is actually a PVC pipe mounted on a pill free track system got it by the adapter I think it's like five bucks the GoPro is powered by a little battery pack here and get these out Walmart or any place this is a 9000 amp hour battery so it should charge like seven or eight GoPro batteries which if you keep it plugged in it'll last all day I could also connect it to this box because it has a cigarette lighter ox and a USB on the other side right here that's why I like this box everything I show you in this video I'm gonna try to put a link in the description so you guys can check it out but that's how it's set up there's my GoPro pointing to my kayak I thought I'd give you guys a new view instead of the chesty two rod holders extra which I don't really use now this is the battery it's a semi five amp power Duracell battery deep-cycle the box that it's in is a new port battery box I can link it down below as well it's pretty awesome give you a test button so you can see the battery voltage two left on it this part is connected right here as well it actually leads to the front hatch be right there this is a yak attack forget where that's called but I'll link it down below and that runs all the way to the front hatch where all the power is supplied whenever I put the battery box in I just connect these two things right here to distribute the power the seat got it a little lifted right now I got some tackle underneath it keep my googan money bag down there and a tackle box it's all plastics and a few hard baits that's pretty much all I use now on the other side over here we got our little stern light which the power is connected as well and it leads to the front hatch I'll show you in just a minute how everything is distributed got the kayak paddle leading over here to the side we got our transducer mount for our blue Ranson TI 2 7 that's brand new pick that up and here's a three-in-one transducer let me show you how that works you can get this on Amazon I'll link it down below twist this has a mounting bracket as well so this just pulls up like that and you swing the arm down now I just pretty much tighten everything so it doesn't fall off there you have it there's my transducer mount don't mind my dogs over there they're chasing each other barking this is a yak attack cupholder as well most of the time I put a drink in there or I put my tore up soft plastics in there I can scoop that up and down either way and on the side over here we have our whole anchor trolley system custom pretty much tie cord right here with a little pulley system the back has the exact same thing there's one trolley system also have one from there to the front on the side right here I like to keep my fish gripper easy access and it's actually tied to the cord here so that if I want to take a picture I can lip the fish toss it back in water get my camera set up right there that's where I put my phone so I can take me a little selfie that comes in handy just to keep the fish a lot more keep it kicking breathing so there's that now let's move to the trolling motor this right here as you know I had this ever lower trolling motor a little small 18 pound thrust upgraded to a thirty pound thrust MinnKota this is the only one I found bit in the hill right here so there is that the lawrence TI is mounted with a ram mount and wires go to another yak attack I forgot what that's called troll motor goes through this plug there puts open up the front hatch you got a little seat cushion you can get at Walmart these are pretty comfy just makes you set a little higher on the seat and it's a little more comfortable got a dry storage bag with my rain gear under here we have the terminal that distributes all the negative and positive wires battery goes there and then it distributes to everything else that powers the kayak this is right here is an extra mount for Lawrence just in case I do tournaments and I'm not allowed to use the trolling motor I mount these rants on to here so let's go ahead and show you the trolling motor more in depth about it I'm going to show you the bottom and how we go lift it up and out of the water if you guys can find a bigger trolling motor that has a higher thrust than this let me know let me know what fits and I'm gonna absolutely upgrade so it has 5 speeds one two three four five I recommend a seventy-five amp hour battery or higher if you want to use speech pop it goes three miles per hour at five I believe and if you put it on four it's at about two-and-a-half miles per hour three it's at two miles per hour two la-da-da all the way down one is that a really good slow hmm half to a mile miles per hour really does good on one spot locking on a river that's what I like because if you're going upstream fishing upstream and you put it on one you're pretty much spot lock on that spot it's really nice love the same it's a two propeller I don't think you can go with three although I haven't tried it I'm pretty sure it won't fit I'll leave about an inch from the kayak itself right here it's about an inch and a half just a clearance as you can see from this hole where my cell or was lined up that's gonna stay there I don't honestly care if water gets in here it doesn't affect the or fill it up or anything I mean as far as we know the water goes up to here and there so that's pretty much it make sure to check out my other video on how to install a trolling motor on a feel free kayak it's basically the same step but if this is the first time you're actually doing it this is a lot easier just getting the wires connected is a little harder than putting the trolling motor actually in the sonar pod so what you do here is line up the width or the length I should say of this and try to line it up with the bottom of your sonar pod that's where you're gonna cut the hole make sure it's turn the right way first before you do that so this is the latch on the front side you want your propeller on that side just line it up drill your one and a quarter inch it's either one in a quarter or one in eighth I'll link it down below and I'll let you guys know so then as soon as you do that drill the top part as well line it up really nice you'll have a good fit for the top part take the bolts out make sure the wires are put back the same way whenever you take it apart and also make sure you flip the head of it the other way because when it comes stock it'll be flipped this way with the trolling motor like this that's because it's supposed to be mounted on like the back of a motor boat or the back of a jean boat so we want to flip it around so it's done correctly for our kayak it is pretty simple this is the easiest part of it now for this plug you can get it at any place I got this at the academy I'll try to link it down below as well you can connect that ready goes with red black goes with black pretty simple it doesn't take a genius but here as well I had to put this on here so that it doesn't slide up and down that way I know how much clearance I need for the bottom of the kayak the top one has one two which comes stock with the MinnKota so you can use that piece as well so to put in the trolling motor once you get to the boat ramp and launch a little bit we just slide it right down in there make sure the fins are pointing up and down slide it in make the back part and then lash up the front I'm going to show you how tight this is look at this now that is tight but it fits just like that I did not shorten the shaft like I did with the severed or I find it so much easier with it long like that so that way when I'm actually standing in the kayak I can control it as well standing up I would definitely recommend you not cut the shaft down keeping it long is the way to go alright guys hope you enjoy a brief update of the video make sure to subscribe to the channel if you're not subscribed like button if this video helped you out in any way go and leave
