  • Bought this beat up canoe from a friend as a project boat and attempted to document some of the process of adding the lights and other features. This boat is great for skinny water fishing and even hunting. LEDs are plenty bright, everything runs on a 12 volt system and it has two outlets for charging electronic devices. Only thing it needs now is a depthfinder...

    At the beginning, he said he was going to put the red light on the starboard side. I’m glad he caught the error and put it on the port side where it belongs.

    Attracts a ton of bugs depending where you live. I know what a million mosquitos look like sitting in a canoe.

    It always makes me wonder who the lonely,pathetic people are that watch someone's video and give it a thumbs down! Seriously was you bullied or just completely ignored in school! Losers! Don't like this type of content then flip to what you do like.No disrespect to you Catman! Awesome content as usual!

    I guarantee that a set of jumper cables would be much less $ than that cable that you bought. You can always take off the clamps and just use the wire. Jjust a thought for next time.

  • @youngsamuel1

    Nice mod Catman hope to see it toting some deer soon. Remember it is best to use heat shrink on the electrical connections especially near water.

    • @CatmanOutdoors
      @CatmanOutdoors  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nice! I commented on that one a few days ago. Your vids are no fluff and quality content. I can't watch many hunt videos because of all the product placement and narcissism. Keep it real Catman. Wishin you quality rut hunting from NC

  • @sedanstyles5082
    @sedanstyles5082 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Pretty much copying the lighting set up for my sportspal. Only difference im switching up my trolling motor for a 2.3h.p motor. Only because longer trips on the water. Thanks for the vid

  • @thehuntingparadox2291
    @thehuntingparadox2291 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have watched this video several times. Wanting to do something similar. You just running a car battery? Have you had it die on you yet? I'm wondering how long the battery would last cause there are some lake grounds I want to hunt/fish this year and I may need to go an hour or 2 each way or so. Thanks.

    • @ngeezer
      @ngeezer 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Get a deep cycle battery. Not a starting battery. Gives you longer running times.

  • @vieuxacadian9455
    @vieuxacadian9455 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    fyi , before soldering the wires install a piece of heat shrink tubing or used butt crimp connectors for a cleaner job . No offense meant .

  • @lorenaroma

    Ok I didnt even think that I'd have to register the canoe...is that required?

    • @nathanzeigler6852
      @nathanzeigler6852 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Check your local laws. But generally if you add a motor to it, you have to register it. Each state is different though.

  • @MrBrysta

  • @revolution51
    @revolution51 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    00:04-So, fast forward to 2020.
    Bet those lights did not work out so well for night fishing...........
    why..........
    Bugs.!
    Get a telescopic extendable cheap fishing pole, mount a LED down shining light on the end
    of the pole.
    Mount perpendicular to the canoe via a pole holder
    and say good bye to 'light happy' bugs and hell-o to lighted, bug free
    personal space in the canoe.
    Works for me.

    • @CatmanOutdoors
      @CatmanOutdoors  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      revolutionpm the lights really come in handy when I’m hauling deer out or tying on a bait. But yes, if the bugs are bad, the lights are off unless I need them. I can turn them on whenever I need to see what I’m doing. It’s served me very well

    • @oystercovecraftsman9219
      @oystercovecraftsman9219 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm in the process of throwing around led lighting ideas from my canoe. I want to use it for squid fishing and floundering at night. Never thought of the bugs the lights would attract!!

  • @emeraldfox7175
    @emeraldfox7175 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    The juice in that battery is gonna be gone quick,how do you recharge it while you're out?

    • @CatmanOutdoors
      @CatmanOutdoors  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      A 29DC battery from Walmart will last several days with that setup if you’re not running the trolling motor all the time. The LEDs barely use a trickle.

  • @reddottactical5568

    That’s a cold solder joint. No bueno.

    • @CatmanOutdoors
      @CatmanOutdoors  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Where at? All the connections should be at least partially hot. Haven't had any electrical issues from the canoe yet.

    the night lighting looks fantastic.... too bad it's not allowed in wonderful California where fresh water night fishing is nearly non-existant.
