Does it work on the NK300? Or, is there too much torque?
@@dennisputthoff4261 It works on the 300, the stick was revised to a little larger diameter recently.
Is the impulse 10.5 fin drive kayak made in Texas?
it is
Port Starboard bow stern
Cool video but why would they put rod holders in the front of the boat?
Great info and product! Thanks for the phone call to get set up Mike!!
Take the engine off when trailering, it’s too heavy. You’re a good man.
Hey Mike, ordered one bc of this video. It arrived today but the fiberglass pole is missing. Hoping they will get back with and get a pole sent out.
@@DannyRowland19 The pile was missing? I’m sorry bro, did you order from s&j or us?
Pole? Mike Morales
Have you changed the design? I’ve recently purchased a second steering stick and it’s missing the ball clip/detent pin. Thanks. Jason
Your assistant though... 👌
I weigh 275lbs will this kayak be stable enough for me I’m also brand new to kayak fishing but want a pedal drive cause I will be using in salt water and big lake and some creeks so I like the option to take the drive out for the creeks how stable is it compared to Seastream angler 120pdl ?
Hey Mike, how does this kayak compare in terms of stability to the 12’ model you tested about a year prior? Does it paddle that much easier to make up for any lost stability? I’m a 6’ 190lb guy and looking at both models. Thanks a bunch
Just talked to S of S&J about this product yesterday. 👍🏻
Thank you sir!!!
Is hobie owners only the name of the tournament? Or do you have to have a hobbie?
both. its the name and its a Hobie brand tournament so must have one to join.
nice. me and a friend just ordered our tempest 120p today.
This helped me enormously. Thanks.
cool cool.. which one was noisier? The Lynx or the Hoodoo tempest?
Nice review Mike😤
Thank you sir!
Great video to see exactly how the insides are, the crease where the crack is could also have been caused after the crack.
THANK YOU SENIOR FOR THE VIDIO TUTORIAL ABOUT THE BANING BOAT
Mike, what year was this kayak? We have heard that they added more plastic to reinforce around the drive well in recent year models
That's a killer little kayak launch. Great vid and review. I've got a I120 as well.
Awesome🎉
You can buy a lot of pulleys with $5000 lol. Joking aside, they are overpriced for what they are imho.
Thanks Mike.
How did you attach the PVC to steer the Torqeedo? I’d like to do something similar to our Crescent Crew
We carry a shackle kit at the shop that fits directly to a 1 inch PVC. Along with that we make the horn extender that bolts directly on for a longer throw on the stearing.
great presentation to show just how much is going on inside a hobie!
My Outback leaks like a sieve! I'm guessing it's a scuffer after watching this video..
Same thing happened to my 2022 Outback, cracks at the same area but on both scupper area. Almost sunk in the middle an inlet. Only used it a few times and can’t understand how this happened to such an expensive kayak.
Great install. Have you ever put one of these on a Hobie Passport 12
Noise? The captain on a Perch charter would fire up the engine to stir of the fish. Noise is not a factor
It does matter here my friend. Thanks for the commet
Nice catch and great people!!! Got mad respect for Mike and the wife. I first met him at the San Antonio store when my wife got head butted by this crazy dog. Mike was not a happy camper, then the Mrs. Morales saved my week long birthday trip with those fins. She even said for the money we spent they would do the install on two hobie drives. Not to mention she didn’t stop there. She went and got the tools for Mike to do a tuneup. The Master tuned our drives!!! My wife can’t tell the difference in a new oil change but she sure does love that drive after Mike touched it 🎉🎉🎉.
Looks like a nice boat 👍🏼💪🏼🔥
How does it compare to the hobie outback?
I just picked one up and I'm very impressed with it. I would say it's Hobie Outback on water performance it cruises at 4 mph and can reach a top speed/ sprint speed of 6 mph. I'm 61 192 to 195 and in the highest position I do not feel it's Tippy at all so if you're around my size or under your on water performance will be similar or better than my experience.
When you push one pedal forward do the fins lay flat against the bottom of the hull like a Hobie does?
Thanks Mike, always a great resource of information
Nice vid! I’m doing the exact same installation on my new Compass. Drilling holes is always kinda scary. One question, the manual says to drill a 1 3/8” hole, not 1 1/2”. Have you tried the 1 3/8 “ approach and found it too tight?
Have just become a Fan!! Awesome Stuff!!
Thanks a lot for this. I love my Outback and it’s nice to see the insides. Great boat!
y not put through hull hole for fish finder closer to the unit? now u got longer wires running to it and in way of track mount behind it
Wow - awesome video. Very helpful!! Thanks 🙏
Do these have the break away fin technology? Because I use my kayak for artifact hunting on the rivers in alabama and get in some pretty sketchy areas
Some people say "it's a wet ride", I say "fish from shore, while you get your nails done." Too noisy? Wear earplugs? Lol. It's a great "kayak" all around.
Thank you for this now I have an idea how the ruder cables go on my outback
Hobie knows they have a problem, but won't fix it.
The scupper crack seems to be a common issue with the the 21's and 22's. Not just with Outback, seen people have the exact same problem with PA's as well. I don't really think its a car top strap problem, people have had the issue using yak trailers. Hobie seems to think its a cart issue, at least they use that as a excuse to avoid warranty claims (if said person didn't have a hobie brand cart.)
"triple shot is different" It's not even compatible with the default kit. You got to order a adapter plate, which i honestly wouldn't recommend a triple shot on Compass, the adapter plate provides zero protection. Unlike the retractable guardian plates on the outbacks or PA's. Edit - Also forgot to point out that hobie recommends installing the Transducer cable port on the firewall not the floor under the seat at the scupper (Its stated in the manual). They used to have a spot molded in for it under the seat with the old design (old mount plugs were also a lot tougher then the new ones), but placing there with the new design can cause stress issues from flexing.
Good Job 👍
can it ride in saltwater?
