Check out my new Electric Watersnake update video.

I have since made some more modifications to the Yak, Will post another update very soon. I have put in two more port holes in the Yak, along with an electric trolling motor and steering system. I have also updated my Create and cart.

I am looking at mounting the Battery inside the Yak now for stability and balance.

I'm still in the process of mounting the motor, At this stage I'll be putting the sealed battery in my Cart, with connections to it from the motor and connections to the controls. I'm looking at a foot steering system,,,,, which is going from fun to bloody annoying.. hahahaha

[hpiguy]

Did you ever get the electric motor mounted? Pics or video of it? Where did you stick the deep cycle battery?

[seemyshell]

Nice cman.. I'm in the process of mounting a little electric motor as we speak.

@ Crayfish. Yes to all your ideas. Can be used for a rudder under sail, or a minkota motor setup. I'm saving up for the minkota. hahaha

[spinycrayfish]

Whats the hole in the back for? Random attachment point, towing, a rudder, or can you slot the shaft of a motor through it? Really hoping its the latter :D

These are a great entry level kayak. I got mine from BCF so it's the camo coloured one. Really happy with it so far. I mostly fish from mine and it's been great. Best thing is the elevated seating position which keeps you dry.

I would suggest using some silicon around the fishing rod holders a very small amount of water seemed to leak into the yak at those points.

How's your dragonfly on the water, are you happy with it so far. I'm also interested in purchasing the same kayak as a first timer. Does it track straight without a rudder ?

[seemyshell]

@sheebaridgeback It does track pretty straight, I'm VERY happy with it. It is large enough to take the kids on a little paddle, and also big enough to take me (100kg) and all my fishing gear. It's very wide (99cm) so it is very stable. For the price these are a great way to get into the sport.
