HOMEMADE CANOE MOTOR MOUNT = RESULTS

Post by **joco** » Wed Sep 17, 2008 2:10 pm

no i do not have any on my kayaks..YET

i will do a pair for the yak..actualy one off eatch model you see in those pictures.

the first easy..its just bending some electric tubing and have some foam and use something to clamp on the side of the canoe.

the second ones..is foam frome commercial fishermans..and some tubing..the starp goes under the canoe or kayak,and something to calmp on the side.

but this is one way to do it..

the first one is not realy in the way..if you look closer,,and the way it shape..no sharp or anything sharp to get caught on.

yes it can be in the way off your line ..but you can t make it closer ..so not to mutch in the way...or make them adjustable..sideways.

but you gain tons and tons off stability..stand up in your canoe to cast or fly fish would be so simple and none dangerous.to flip and loose some expensive stuff.

The Mount and Fish Finder is just the begining. Good for this year. Maybe try an outrigger for next season.

Some outrigger are only on one side of the canoe, The bouyance keeps it stable on one side and the weight of it keeps the canoe stable on the other side. So it would not be in the way if I land fish on the side the outigger is not on. This would be the perfect option for me....

I would hate to tip and loose my gear...

Thanks for the info
