Re: New Member

So far, I’ve installed my anchor trolley, fish finder and transducer (using pvc pipe and the scupper plug like peatop explained) and moved the far starports closer to the seat.

Re: New Member

I have picked up my new Yak and pretty happy about it! But, I don’t know where to start.

Re: New Member

I actually think I know how you have done it, so I wouldn’t stress. Once I pick the yak up tomorrow, I will have a real good look at it and probably sit in it for a while and see where everything should go and what may work and may not. I’ll try post some photos as I go. Also will practise putting i...

Do you have any photos on here of the transducer mount? That was the bit I was concerned about.

Re: New Member

Thanks guys, once I set it up, I will definitely give you a shout. I was actually thinking about devils bend the other day, just going on there and testing it out. I also want to try the Mt Martha to Davies bay areas for whiting and squid. Picking the yak up probably tomorrow night. Cheers Anthony

Re: New Member

Thank you mate, that is really kind of you. I actually did read your posts, both when you chose it and the recent review, so I am not sure why I actually put it down there. I don't need the fastest unit, just something stable and safe for a beginner. I will go down and have a look first and I will m...

Re: New Member

Hi again, Thank you for your responses so far I'm rehashing my old post. I broke my ankle playing a charity game of footy after I posted this, so the kayak shopping went on the back burner. Now I am back and fit, I am looking again. I have looked at a few online https://www.kayaksonline.net/kayaks/f...
