ABOUT
In this video my awesome wife Katie wanted to try making a tutorial on how she would rig up her sit inside kayak , a $179 Pelican Trailblazer 100. She absolutely loves this lightweight 10ft kayak and has used it the past year without any mods. She had made a list of things she wanted done to it and found the parts to do so. She picked up some name brand parts from a local Cape Coral consignment store called Re-Rigged Outdoor Exchange and few other products online via YakGear & Amazon.
Wife usually is shy in front of the camera, but she decided to be brave & give it a shot so give her some "LIKES" and show support.
Thanks for watching!
Sincerely,
KayakDIY

KayakDIY , time for your Debbie Downer moment:
www.adventuresportsnetwork.com/sport/paddle-sports/why-are-deaths-in-paddle-sports-increasing/
In repeatedly watching the kayakers in the Arkansas River in Colorado I'm amazed at how stupid it really seems as even with a helmet you can hit Rocks Under the Water and get knocked out and drown....
So I guess when I see them flip upside down and over it's on purpose in areas where they know there's no Rock 3 ft below or whatever, right?
Mickey Drago interesting article. Nothing wrong with buying a kayak from a big box store. The problem is definitely in not knowing the limitations of the paddler and the craft. Also not wearing a PFD or having one readily at hand is foolish. I don’t always wear a PFD. If I’m fishing the flats in water I can stand in I choose to not wear. If inshore/offshore I absolutely wear one. People new to kayaking should capsize their kayak in shallow water and try to self rescue.
Like I said that’s a impact driver is made for driving screws not for bits drill bits
What is that hook in the panel for
Great job and excellent rigging ideas. I like the anchor pole set up.
Great job! Thank you for taking the time to produce.
Katie you did an outstanding job! I would love to see you in front of the camera a lot more and I think you would attract a greater audience than you guys already do.
This is a nice setup and great price. You anchor pole mod is awesome. I just found your channel and FB page. Now I'm binge watching your video. You have great content. Thanks for sharing.
I’m super new to kayaking and this helps a lot thanks
Glad it could help you out.
Sweet kayak set-up! This was a very interesting tutorial video!
My wife is watching Home Improvement and Heidi said that on the tv for tool time right after you said it. No joke
Squirrel_Choker 😂 that is awesome.
When dealing with plastic and rivets I push them through then add a washer before I start crimping it
Immensely satisfying on so many levels...
Nice rigging job. All the custom work! I gotta get a kayak!
Power pole setup is awesome I have that anchor system on my canoe forever works perfect
Nice job on the DIY anchor pole. Great idea!!
This video serves 2 purposes. 1) Tutorial, of course. But more importantly, 2) How to get your wife involved, so she won't complain when you want to spend the day fishing! Absolute genius!!!
Larry Talbot exactly! But don’t let her know that. Haha.
Maybe she loves it just as much😉 win-win
@@joeyandalliesmom you must be one in a gazillion because if you took a survey of everyone one here you would find that the majority of wife's not only hate fishing, but want nothing to do with it.
I've spent my entire looking for "that one" and she's completely eluded me.
Larry Talbot Maybe you'll run in to her on the lake😜
Outstanding video. Learned lots and appreciate you posting!
Thanks! 😁
Just bought a kayak and yt suggested this video definitely useful and will be using these modifications
Liked, subbed. Great video very clear on how to mod then showed it in action.
Nice. I like. I just can't use anchor setup, I go through too much brush, down trees, and rapids. I love the vid great job
Good video guys. Thanks for the ideas . Will be purchasing some of the mentioned gear
Thanks glad to help. We still have this kayak. The setup works great!
I loved your video!! Any suggestions for camera mounts and floating coolers? I love that you did it yourself ❤️ #girlpower☺️
do you think that this ram x is sufficient strong to support an outboard 3.5 engine ? i mean drill and install a transom for the engine ,it say that is a high impact material but dont sure if it will stand with the stress of the engine .
Great Vid!
Love how you were whispering coaching her.😂😂😂..good job bro.
mactownrox lol. She does great. I just need to learn to let go and let her do her thing. Haha. Thanks though.
Lol i have the sit on top same series kayak. Pimped out almost the same way besides for power pole
Wife involved AWESOME. Jammed on all with exception to anchor pole not a thing wrong with it I prefer to drift fish, most are ponds in my area.
I am a lucky guy. Best wife ever. Btw I’m a Taurus fan. Love the Judge. I also like keltecs.
Any ideas on how to get it to track straighter? It seems squirly compared to my Odyssey 100x.
Awesome anchor mount idea
What rivets did you use. I can’t find the ones with the plastic that expands out anywhere.
Suggestion --- Use a Stainless washer just the size of the rivet on the underside, if You can reach it. Needs 2 people, one to hold the washer in place and one to run the pull tool.
Increases the hold strength 100%
Great Tip! I did that in the past for a bucket livewell. I keep forgetting that as a means of enhancing rivets.
I doubt that staking like will bite just falling in. A cheap solution is a anchor trolley and dyslexia through the Ring in the trolley system. And it can be user in deeper water
Cool vid like always
James Ireland thanks!! Wanted to show folks that cheaper kayaks can be just as much fun. Just need a kayak that is appropriate for your water conditions. We use this kayak for flats, mangroves, lakes, and streams. I have even used it a few times off the beaches in the gulf if swell sizes are low.
Great DIY Anchor Pole
Thanks. Very happy with it. Works well.
plan on buying this for my first kayak
Looks just like my pellican. Great taste in kayaks!
Very cool video, love the anchor setup, kayak doesn't seem very stable for fishing, maybe you should think about a DIY outrigger and pontoons on it or maybe purchase one from a company in St. Pete, Florida called Expandacraft, very cool products, I put one of there pontoons on my Ocean Kayak Prowler 13, this thing is rock solid now, I live in Key West, Florida where the water conditions can get pretty rough, making fishing difficult, but this product solved that, I also have a honda 2.9 outboard on this kayak, makes life so much easier, but still paddles and tracks very easily.
sc1212able we primarily use this kayak on the flats,mangroves, small rivers, and lakes. It actually feels pretty stable because you sit very low in the kayak.
Great video! Question.. why not just use an anchor? I am not familiar with fishing salt water dose that pole have advantages? Also are the track mounts better then flush Scotty mounts? I have an Old Town vapor 10 I want to use for fishing, and photography.
scott mouse quicker to deploy and in flats it seems to work much better for positioning and holding.
Nice, I have 2 of those and need better seats. Any ideas what works to replace them with?
Tons of companies make clip in universal padded kayak seats. Just would maybe need to add padeyes.
The current version of this kayak as of July 2019 doesn’t appear to have as much space to mount all this stuff, at least on the front end.
Agreed they changed the design. However, folks can still play around and use the video as a general guide. My favorite paddling budget kayaks around $200 are Pelican Trailblazer and Sun Dolphin Phoenix.
Nice job! Very creative.
Thanks. We love this kayak. Great setup for the money. We use it a lot.
Diggin the anchor pole mod! Scotty should totally make it and give you a cut for the idea!
Totally agree, Scotty would make tons of money! I would buy one! Notice how many new kayaks are coming ready for those expensive $600 micro poles! They should pay him for coming up with the idea. Probably would be easy for them to make since they already produce the anchor lock. Favorite kayaking channel.
I agree. I think we would all love to have an micro pole, but the cost is just ridiculous!!!
Nice video!
Jerry Ehrlich/ Outdoors thanks Jerry! Wife loves this kayak. Actually I do too. Lightweight, easy to transport, and gets the job done.
Great video with some good upgrades! I have the same kayak, and would love to see what suggestions you might have for modifying the storage area in the back. I want to make it more waterproof. Any ideas?
Probably can find rubber gasket and slip it around the lid edge then the bungees will hold in place.
Here is what I used. Purchased on Amazon. Worked great. You just need to measure how much you need and add a little extra (Approx 4')
Vertical Bulb Trim Seal Bulb Diameter: 0.55" Flange size: 0.039" to 0.14"
Sold by: M M SEALS
Got a great deal on the pelican mustang 12ft yak at dicks can’t wait to take it out
Congrats! Have fun! 👍👍
How does the rod holder mount to the track mount? I want to go with this setup for my rod holder but I'm not sure what all I need
You need the Scotty track adapter mount linked in the video description. Then you can plug the Scotty rod holder into the track mount.

*Scotty Rodmaster II Rod Holder:* amzn.to/2HTkN3N
KayakDIY thank you. I saw it in the description after I commented. This is an awesome setup
The only question I have, just by letting the pole down via line it has enough weight to hold the kayak in place?
Yes. That rod is heavier than it looks and it drops with some force. It did a great job of anchoring. I guess it would depend if you had rocky bottom or sand.
@@KayakDIY thank you love the video, I have a request if possible. Ascend came out with a kayak called the 133x, supper customizable and would love to see what you could do with it. Its pretty new and not much content out for it
Can you use a hammer for the rivet too or do you have to buy that tool
Rivet guns are not crazy expensive. You can’t use hammers on rivets.
That’s the impact supposed to use a drill impact driver when it butte it it’s struggles the work it will jump
Cole, Haas I know. You are right. I just use this little m12 impact for everything. Drill would definitely be better for some jobs though.
If someone is selling a used pelican kayak with no paddle for 290, is that a ripoff?
Anchor pole is very short - prob great for 3 feet of water - but when you’re trying to get the big fish 30-50’ plus down - it looks to be useless
No one uses *anchor poles* for that depth. Anchor poles are used for flats fishing.
😉👍
Wow !! I did not know Pelican made a CHEAP kayak !!!! Looks great and so does the Misses !!!! Love your background wall too. Is it pallet wood or 1x4 pine ?
Ron Hart I of course did a video tutorial on the pallet wall (Link below). Haha. I put that sort of content on my personal channel.
th-cam.com/video/ONn5MZ9bmxo/w-d-xo.html
BTW I agree the Mrs. does look great....I think I will keep her! 😂
It uses 1x4 pine cut to random lengths and painted with watered down pastel paint colors to give a beach feel. My personal channel shows various other pallet creations and more. Basically it is becoming a place for me to share my home diy related projects.
I just subbed your other channel. I love pallets and make anything from a fire to roast marshmallows with the kids or a fishing rod holder out if them!
They do actually, in Canada, Hart stores, Canadian Tire and even Giant Tiger is getting into the game. They cost more in Canada, around 300 $ cad. Yet they are made in Canada.
billybrantd no idea why they would cost more in Canada. That makes no sense to me. I love the prices in United States.
Let's be honest. It's possible to cut a hole the exact diameter to install foot pedals right?
I’m sure it can be done. Depends entirely on your skill set.
This is so cool
Thanks! I just love that my wife got on camera. Trying to get her to be more confident and go on camera. She is the reason I'm so successful. She's so smart. I'm a lucky guy.
Pelican has a good warranty, I'm wondering if this would void the"Limited Lifetime warranty". By the way Katie, you are a very good camera person!
billybrantd I will let the wife know....boost her confidence a bit. She is still bit hesitant to be on cam. In regards to warranty many companies don’t void warranty if the mounts are above waterline. If you have hull damage and it is unrelated to mount I don’t see why they would fight you on warranty. However, I haven’t had to use a warranty. If I ever have damage on old kayaks I just fix it myself. My mounts are installed more watertight than some of the factory hardware. For example the bungees in the front bow are not really waterproof at all.
GEEEEEEARRRRRR!
Or any other tools
Place a washer on the inside before starting to crimp rivet, that way the rivet will never work its way through the hole.
Definitely an option. Did that on other projects like bucket live well project.
Great tip. 👍
I'd take 1 of each, the kayak and the lady:)
Best wife ever
Let Katie do more videos!
Matthew Elliott I’m going to show her this comment. She doesn’t think she does well in front of camera. Too dang shy 😆
We gotta boost her confidence a bit.
Excuse me What price does that kayak have?
Agustin Bracamontes bought it for $179 and then added some accessories. We always put links in our video descriptions below video.
damn you got lucky a trailblazer is 250$ where i live
Unfortunately, the similar kayak costs $300 these days and doesnt have covered storage
Build back better prices.
Great job it`s too bad I can`t get my wife to get in a Kayak . She doesn`t even trust a Life jacket .
That sucks. Maybe start off with pool or figure out what her fear is. Small steps. My wife is anxious about doing scuba. So I plan to do 1 on 1 with her in the pool for a while till she becomes comfortable. Then move to small safe bodies of water.
My first time Kayaking and this Kayak held strong. th-cam.com/users/postUgkx4k5UrhC3v_Y4hIEaXLGvHcN5a5aBmZNB The water got pretty rough as a speed boat zipped by me, and the Kayak withstood it (I expected to be capsized). The Ores are very easy to put together, the pump worked beautifully. the seats are a bit hard to sit in after a while (I recommend sitting on the floor). after reading the reviews I was very scared it'd get a hole in it, the material is very strong and durable. The Air valve may need a small Phillips head screwdriver to adjust, other than that, it's well worth the money!(update)I've gone Kayaking in 3 Lakes and 2 rivers totaling about 40 miles. the kayak had two holes and they patched easily and no other problems can't wait for kayaking season this year!
is your husbands name kermit?
I'm sorry to say this but I don't think you noticed but your husband sounds like Elmo
News flash. You don’t need a rod holder because your husband won’t want to fish with you. Aaa I’m just joking
Needs a FLAG!
Keith Johnson can mount flag to anchor pole. Easy to do.
You bet! That was the first thing I thought when I saw that pole!
Hearing the dude read of what she should say took away from her doing it herself.
It was her first video. She was bit nervous and trying to figure out what to say about the stuff since I made some of it. This is my wife Katie. I keep telling her she is awesome and can do videos. She even had some great ideas in the video. However, I can be a bit over controlling when it comes to videos. Hard for me to let go creatively. I can be a perfectionist. It is my greatest flaw. Thanks for the message Travis. I need to hear things like this actually. Sometimes I’m hardly aware I do it. The other aspect is I didn’t want her to say anything that was incorrect because I have seen how ruthless some viewers can be and I didn’t think my wife could handle the criticism as well as I’ve learned to do. I want my wife to get into videos...I guess I need to just give her more free reign on the filming and editing side. That is how I learned. My early videos were terrible. Her first video was pretty dang good! Lol. I think she is a natural. ✌️😊
Justin your are a lucky man... you have a hot wife. :)
Thanks. I think so too!
I just try not to tell her too much or else she will get smart and leave me for a wealthier and better looking dude. 😂
stay in the kitchen....
Stay in your parent’s basement.
KayakDIY We dont have a basement!!! LoL
Good job on the diy anchor pole. Looks awesome.
