Yeah I'm on my 4th drive mostly for the broken cable on the center pulley and they refused to send anymore. I fish 2 to 4 times a week and take meticulous care, but they refused. Now I'm on a mission to tell people how bad their products are. You did a great job on this video, unfortunately if you're 6 months in you'll definitely have more issue. I'm 1.5 years in amd it's been a nightmare. I wish I had the money to buy another brand, but im stuck fixing this one every time I go out. Last night on lake Powell, perfect glass condition I took on a ton of water in the hull.
I'm sorry to hear that. I've been using mine for a year and a half and have broken only one cable. I have seen people using Hobie 180 drives in the pelican boats. They're kind of pricey though. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for watching. It means a lot. I think the most important thing is to keep from crashing it into things in the water. And making sure to pull the drive when you plan to beach. This guy @Zoffinger knows a lot about the Hydryve system and has this video on making it better. I have noticed that the idler pulley on mine is starting to show some wear. I have begun to play with the idea of 3D printing one with bearings in it to make it last forever. We'll see... Thanks again. th-cam.com/video/kNge13OvWhs/w-d-xo.html
It's great. Really stable and carries everything I need. I'm working on an upgraded idler pulley for the drive and 3D printed seat risers to replace the wooden ones I made. Thanks for watching!
Doubles check before you make any purchases to see if any other brands are better…!! Don’t end up like me..getting a Lemon 🍋 and paid full price but missing few things that supposed come with the kayak hdrii 110
here in Canada those are 2400 cad . they use thermoform technology that is one way they are so light. i had a vanquish 120 sit in made the same way. 48 lbs for a 12 foot kayak.
Wow, that's some coin. One of the selling points for mine, other than the price, was the weight. I have a friend that has a roto molded native and his bare 12 is heavier than my bare 13. It's a great boat. Thanks for watching!
I've been searching for an affordable pedal drive kayak and have landed on the catch 130 hd2. I've seen a lot of negative reviews on these boats but feel these boats have their place in the water. I'm sure they aren't built with the best components but i do believe they're built with a purpose. I'm planning to fish the sound and intracoastal water ways around me here on the NC coast. one thing i noticed is the boat doesn't come with a paddle. any suggestions for a paddle that serves its purpose on a boat like this? the 130 is also discontinued so I'm hoping that doesn't hinder any warranty work.
Hey! Thanks for watching! The rack is a THULE rack, but I don't think they make it anymore. the actual cradles are the Dock Glide set I think. The rack was actually given to me by a friend who wasn't using it anymore. Here's the link to the DockGlide things: www.thule.com/en-us/water-racks/kayak-and-canoe-racks/thule-dockglide-_-1690777
@@mikesample-ov3xp Oh, sorry about that. The cart is from Amazon. It cost me like $40. Here's the link: www.amazon.com/OxGord-Trolley-Transport-Carrier-Wheels/dp/B075Z97LBD/ref=mp_s_a_1_15?crid=1AOPJLGU3UHWW&keywords=kayak+cart&qid=1688224187&sprefix=kayak+cart%2Caps%2C1680&sr=8-15
I just got this boat, what is the seat riser you are using? I would love to have a higher sitting seat. Edit: I just saw your section on the risers. I would buy a set of front, back, and pay for shipping. Let me know!
Hi thanks for watching! I am in the process of design and building a set of 3D printed ones. I'll keep you posted. Much easier to produce and more precise. Email me at macs.outdoor1@gmail.com for updates.
Well, I've been working on them. I've even printed a set of the front. But because I'm learning how to model things on the computer, it's slow going. The set of fronts I printed looked good but are oddly incorrect dimensionally. Back to the drawing board... Thanks for watching.

Just bought the catch 110 hd2 i hadnt heard about the drive problems when i ordered it. Hopefully it holds up as well as yours has.

Wow that’s a sweet kayak
Thanks brother. You should snap one up for yourself. Then we can make Steve get one too.
Pretty sik lil boat. I’m in the market for one. Mainly for lakes but also want the option for fishing harbors too.

Is this compatible to mount a trolling motor on the back
