I'd look at re-rigging that anchor. Tie to the bottom, zip tie to the eye on top. If it gets snagged, you can pull the line hard to break the tie, and pull the anchor up from the bottom.
Hi;
The next time you want to put something on the surface of your kayak and want it to come out water tight, use Well Nuts. When you install them, they will seal up water proof every time and things like Pad Eyes it gives you alittle extra space under them because the top of the Well Nut has a built in washer on the outside. They come in many sizes and work 100%.
You have to drill a hole just big enough to force the well nut into the hole, no larger. Get the well nut wet to lube it a little if it is hard to get in. The smaller you can have the hole and still get it in the better. There are videos on well nuts. They are self sealing and work great on anything you want to come out water tight. As you screw in the bolt, the under side brings the rubber up and seals off that side and the outside aready has a built in washer to seal that side.
I like the idea of the pop rivets, but unless you're using closed end rivets, it's not water tight. I guess you could plug the center of the rivet with silicone, but that's not a long term solution.
Awesome video! I have the same kayak and I love it. One tip to maybe try is instead of a ring for your anchor trolly use a Carabiner so you can easily take your anchor line in and out if needed.
You got some great ideas on this
Great mods! They really improved the Lifetime. Can we get more information (size and make) about the rivets you used? What is your plan on replacing anything if it breaks(nylon handle or seat back)?
Just bought a tamerack from a guy for $50. He put a hole in it by dragging it. I repaired it easily but I don't recommend dragging your kayaks. Unless u are good at repairing them.
@@theflyguytfgflies Definitely make a keel guard out of PVC plastic or gorilla glue all weather duct tape. Some parts on the tamarack are paper thin, flash a light to see.
@@geeyoupee which do you suggest using as a keel guard?
@@shaunmcclure3722 If you lazy or don't got the tools, thick duct tape, weatherproof one if possible. Otherwise black abs or PVC is way more durable. I can drag my yak without worrying. Helps a lot when loading it on my Prius as I got to pivot the yak up. If I were to do it again, I would use white PVC as black abs was hard to mold to my yak, took a lot of heat.
Hey ! What you took out the stadium chair walmart ? I think that chair is useful than the costco because you can put some boxs under.
Is it possible to rig up a small elec trolling motor to this kayak? Thanks for the video, really helpful.
In Ohio you need to have your kayak register!? Even if your not motorized
Your anchor setup is great. Would you post a on the water demo on how you deploy your anchor? Thanks!
I’ll try to put something together. However, I really need another person in a second kayak to shoot the video. I’ll see if I can get my grandson to help out. No promises though.
Enjoyed it and thanks for the tips......I haven't pulled the trigger yet but will soon on my yak......
I know I am super late with my comment, but great video. You helped me alot with some mods I want to make.
Hi, I just got the tamarack kayak this last weekend, I like your idea of a no pulley anchor trolley system. I'm also fly fish and tie my own flies. Thanks for taking the time to make this.
@@theflyguytfgflies mostly trout, but just getting into Bass fishing
on the stainless steel ring witch size did you choose from Amazon?
Cool , Ohio . Do you fishing little Miami or Mad rivers?
You make stuff being eazy and cheap, good advices =P
Not quiet clear on the anchor system, the orange line and then the divers reel?ill watch again
The Fly Guy ya thanks, didn’t really see where you would disconnect, to leave, it floating in an emergency, but not hard to figure out , I guess another carabiner in line there , ok so I gotta get some things done to my new tamarack piecemeal like, an anchor, a more comfy seat, and man I think I, gonna need one of those dolly’s to wheel this thing around, it’s heavier than I thought at I think 52 pounds. Hey thanks for the videos. Love em,!
Question, why do you have to register a kayak? There is no motor...
Pretty smooth idea man
Great video.....tons of ideas....looks like I may go for a tamarak....thanks a lot!!!! Quick question......how stable is this kayak being at 30 inches wide?... Does it feel like you are about to die when you cast or set the hook???
Thank you! You are welcome! For me no. It is more tippy by default by raising it slightly but nothing crazy. I still fly fish out of it fine in all types of water in Ohio. You just have to get used to it and get comfortable with how it handles.
I didn't know you had to register the kayak ?? Can you shed a little more light on that matter. Excuse my rookie question. Im just fixing on getting this exact kayak.
Nice yak setup man. I really like what you did to it bro ima have to use a few ideas but I will give you credit when I post my very first vid!!! Thanks man, I subbed and can’t wait for more fire content..
Thank you!
Good for you man! Great set up!
thanks for showing us your mods. I just subscribed
Thanks for allowing me to spend 30 minutes listening to you tell me that you pop rivets and pad eyes, perhaps the video could have been a bit shorter
great vid Matt
Let me guess, "POP RIVET!"
12 mins in and all I’ve heard is pop rivets
Did you use the large head or the small head pop rivets?
They said they were standard.
Are you padeyes plastic or metal
Plastic
@@theflyguytfgflies thank u
wish you would learn how to pronounce "carabiner"
Just about made my head explode every time he said cara-bye-ner instead of cara-bee-ner.
Hey we're from the same city lol
@@theflyguytfgflies o yeah Atwood the tusc. Deer Creek.
You said ohio.subscribe I did..great video
replaced screws cuz he thought pop rivets are stronger lmfao … them pop rivets will need to be replaced befor a screw ever will
