That white float thing is called a bumper for boats you put a rope on them and hang them off the side of a boat so your boat don’t hit the dock when you pull your boat up to a dock
Yeah thats right but we used them for floats…
Thanks for watching…
Thank you for posting the video. It makes it a lot easier to see what y'all used, showing how everything is built. Really awesome!
Thanks you Cliff. Thanks for comment.
THanks for sharing this beautiful piece of craft to the kayak. I will make something similar and will test it out before using those C-clamps for the final design.
Yes thanks for comments and watching.
Thank you gentlemen for the great ideas and the great video, much appreciated
Thank you for comment
I like that extra floating you put on it for stability. Love it. I will do the same for mine
Thank you for showing that
Yes it does help out in a big way. I hope you enjoy when you get yours fixed. Thanks for your reply. God bless
Very well done. Thanks
Thanks for sharing. Started using my kayak for fishing and working on More modes for it.
Thank you for comment.
nice build mate, thanks for sharing
Thank you 76......
Great video. Thanks for showing everything.
Yes Sir Jason thank you for watching. God bless.
I have the same kayak. Best $180 I ever spent. It has made fishing so much more enjoyable and I didn't have to break the bank! Going to try some of these modifications on mine. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Sir.
Thanks for all the hard work and awesome explanations you have given us all. You guys are saints to us. Supper video
Thanks for your watching and kindness. God bless.
Best concept I've ever seen, I'm going to follow!
Thanks for comment. And watching.
I like your channel. I like your work shop, and your property is beautiful. Great mods on the kayak. The music is cool too. I am a subscriber now.
You will enjoy the tahoma kayak. I was amazed how comfortable with the seat we added. Moves through the water pretty good for how it was built.
loVED IT! I will definitely do that as well to my kayak for more safety..thanks
Yes sir thanks for watching...! It’s fun to work on something and make things better. Glad you liked it.
Great idea!
Thank you…….
That is a great design
Thank you
Very detailed video. I set up my tandem yak like this now. I can actually fish alone how you showed on this tutorial. Greetings from Miami FL. Gracias Hermano!
Thanks for reply. Have fun in your yak.
Man love the video! Big help been planning on building my own out riggers
Out of same thing . Thanks for parts list & video fellas !!👍🏻
Thank you for comment. Just remember they are mainly for fishing. If you are just kayaking down a river you might not want to use them. We went on a lake with some friends and did not take them off. We were running slow compared to the others.
love the can do attitude
Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the video
Very helpful video. Thanks ... I am confident following your excellent example as I am building a similar configuration for my kayak.
Thanks for watching.
You guy are the real deal. Cheers!
Thank you Sir.
Nice; I LIKE the lime green kayak, camo crates, with blue paddles.
Thanks for watching and reply.
appreciate the effort, thanks got me thinking off new changes...lol fish on
ThNk you.
Thank you so much for showing the build process there's not a lot of people that stroll how they made it and you're correct not a lot of people test it out I'm going to go ahead and try to make it myself I wanted to purchase them but they're just too expensive thank you so much I subscribed to your channel
Thank you as well...God bless
Great job
Thank you.
very nice outrigger mod, now time to replace the seat height to be able to stand up easier. Thanks for sharing and God bless
Thank you. Be careful and have a good time in your yak….!God bless you.
Was looking forward to the depth finder install, nice video none the less.
I took it out for now I might put it back for a another video
Thanks so much for sharing as I want to do same thing as you done with your outriggers. 👍👍👍👍
Thank you for reply and have a Merry Christmas. I hope you get yours done, and send a video if you do.
Thanks for sharing the video. I have watched several and decided to go with what you did. I have a 13' Heritage fishing kayak and its fast but not very stable. going to get started 2maro afternoon cant wait
Thanks for comment and watching.
Good DIY engineering Sir.
Thanks Scotty. Merry Christmas
I like your video, very informative
Thanks for comment.
I live in australia and have a kayak i love your videos and i need a stableizer on it i am going to make one like yours as it adjusts for paddleing love the simple stuff have got on your yak thanks for the video
Thanks! We appreciate the feedback, God bless!
Super job! Your craftsmanship is excellent! One of the best videos I’ve ever seen! How to do it, then how it works!!! NICE!!!
FYI, Flip your paddle over though. The notch allows the water to go back into the pond, buts the notch had to be on the bottom of the paddle.
Thanks for kind words and watching. God bless.
Love the content, now lets see how far that son-in-law can take the new outriggers until it flips! Would be a fun video
Him better than me...lol
Well the longer the stablelizers are away from the kayak the better center of gravity for stability.18 inches is what ya need
Thank you sir
Thank you….!
First thank you for the videos. I went out today and bought all the pvc stuff to get started just have to get the boat bumpers. But no big hurry on the bumpers it's pretty cold in central Illinois right now.
Thank you.
Southern and Midwest accents are the best
New kayak owner here having issue with cord rot any ideas I like your way of thinking I also make most of my things at home
You can put a bottom on the crate like the top and it will fit over the hatch . Thank you Jim Fisher
.
Thank you...!
very cool
Thank you Preston. God bless.
Nice video ✌️
Thank you.
Thanks
You are very welcome sir.
like the music
Can’t beat some good old bluegrass music. Thanks. God bless.....!
I'm about to do this exact build based on your design. Did those screws hold in place? The ones screwed into the 1 x 4. I'm always weary about screwing into plastic
Yes they held we also used nuts and washers.Thanks for watching.
I just did some of the same customizations in my own video haha
Thank you for building, testing and reviewing what was done. Is the materials list in the description for the longer modified outrigger or for the one you tested in the video?
In description..... you might have to modify slightly and come up with some your on ideas. Thanks for watching....
Never Told us the measurements that mount up to the buoy ? But looks great 👍
Should be in the video. Thanks for watching. Not hard to do . God bless.
Great job! I like your design best after seeing a bunch. Where do I find the details on the measurements, size bolts etc...? Thought it was coming at the end of the video. I do appreciate your time in advance!
Click down at top of video shows what we used. Hope that helps. Some things you might have to figure out. God bless thanks for watching. Not to hard to do.
@@attechoutdoors5893 found them, thank you.
Great video and well explained, I have a question on the material. The 2 X 21in and 4 X 8 7/8 etc... are these for bolt size's I assume ?
You may want to measure what you think you will need. My son-in-law wrote this up and I’m not certain what he was thinking at the time. Is does sound correct. Thanks for watching and God bless.
@@attechoutdoors5893 ok last question. So when you guys put the bolts in how did you access them? Thanks
We ran our hands through the port holes where the lids come up. Might have the stretch your arms but it was really no problem. Hope it all works out for you. It’s ok to ask any questions ......
Great Idea for Outriggers! I'm looking to build some myself. The problem is I'm over 6ft tall. I might need more float! Lol
They make those floats in 8 inches x 27 inches long. They would really give more buoyancy... I’m 6 1 and the 6in x 22 works for me. Have a great day Mark.
@@attechoutdoors5893 Thank you for the info. Now I just need an afternoon and some materials. 👍
planning to make one, thanks for the video. Question how high did you determine the outriggers to be from the bottom of the kayak if your looking at it front view?
I’m not quite sure what you are asking. Sorry bud. God bless thanks for watching.
I got boat fenders on EBay four of them for $ 51.99 free shipping.........6.5 in by 23 in long
Lmao!!lov it,,just got two kayak today,i can see me flippn in it already.stop by wal mart with som supply ,including a marine fender same siz n color😂.still mentaly engineering on hw im gonna do this.labr of lov,,,cant wait to launch it in the gulf.hahaha
Hope you enjoy the yak and thanks for watching the video. God bless.
I'd like to know how you put that seat on the kayack, that's nice. Looks comfortable.
We tied them to the handles and they stayed in place.
@@attechoutdoors5893 wow, nice! Thank you for the reply.
Just have a quick question. What size boat fenders are they in regards to length? 16”, 22”, or 27”? Great tutorial too, I really enjoyed the video.
22” long thanks for watching.
If you set the bouys to sit deeper in the water would it help with stability?
Good possibility but there would be more drag while moving through the water.
Thanks for watching.
You should’ve made the float adjustable too. Would’ve been more stable if the floats were lower in the water IMO.
Yes it would give more stability. Thanks for watching.
What did you use to bolt the board to the kayak? Well nuts?
We used bolts and nuts…
Do you think it would be possible to have a wheel on a fixture that attached the same as the pontoons for rolling it to the shore?
Yes find some of the tall push mower wheels. I was gonna do that but we just load them from our truck and walk to the water. Makes a difference if you have two people to carry them. You can add wheels.
@@attechoutdoors5893 thanks. I have an old mower I was thinking about doing exactly what you're talking about
so do the outriggers actually touch the water or submerged just a little.
They are about 1/2 way in the water. So they are submerged a little. I figure they are around 20 lbs. of float on each side by the size they are. Thanks for checking us out.
Do they slow the kayak significantly? Would they increase the stability if they were longer?
Yes they will slow you down a bit, but not to bad. You can buy a bigger size that would give you more stability. Longer would work but might be in your way while paddle. Thanks for watching.
@@attechoutdoors5893, thank you for sharing and for your reply!
Enjoy paddling!
what size buoys did you install??
It is in the description thanks for watching.
Where did you buy the floats? I didn't see those listed in the materials list
eBay 4 of them for 51.00 dollars. 6.5 x 23 in long. It’s listed below. Thanks God bless.
eBay...... 6 1/2 x 21. Got 4 ........51.99. $$$
How much does the outrigger system weigh?
Maybe total 15 lbs with wood and all. Estimated my opinion should be close. Thanks for watching.
Did you use self tapping screws or what? I can't use a bolt because I have a sit on kayak and I can't screw a nut onto the back of the bolt.
To attach the board to the boat, I mean.
We ran our arms under the port holes in side the kayak to put nuts on bolts. Hope that helps. Not sure what kind of kayak you have.
@@attechoutdoors5893 I have no way to access the inside of the hollow boat. Do you think self tapping screws could work? I'd like to build the same thing as you have here but I'm not sure if self tapping screws will hold up. What do you think? Thanks for the reply! Great vid btw
What kind of kayak do you have?
What size where the washers yoh used on the caps
Not sure they were just big enough to fit. Sorry . I have always used something big enough to make a good hold.
What size are them boat bumpers?
61/2 x 23 in long.....we have a mod coming raising our seats. This mod is very interesting, should be online by tonight or tomorrow sometime. One thing you don’t want to do in this mod. I say I’m wore out and wow...! God bless.
Nice. I have one two and I hacked my Kayak to make into a Fishing machine. Those Kayaks are the lego kayaks that people build on.
Yes sir you can do anything to these things. We have more that we will share. God bless.
@@attechoutdoors5893 I use mines to go Kayak fishing out on the lake. I even have a video on my Kayak.
Yes I just saw your yak....
@@attechoutdoors5893 I've made it into a nice fishing machine
Good video, music makes it hard to watch in full.
Thanks. Have a blessed day
Good video but I would rather put the air valve to the top in case it goes to leaking it won’t take in as much water and make the design where a pin drops the floats to re inflate
Might help if you do that. So far we have had no trouble with that . God bless.
@@attechoutdoors5893 and maybe I just over think safety alot
Nothing wrong with that....
What size are the Boat Fenders?
6.5 x 23 in long
What is the Big White Float called?
Boat fender or dock bumper it will come up on eBay.
☝👍
Where is list of material?
Look in list of descriptions it is all there. Thanks for watching.
where did you get those floats?
I ordered them off eBay, I think it tells in one of the videos. They do work but they also make one size bigger. They help if you decide to stand up and fish. Thanks for watching and comment. It tells at top of comments and the size we used.
I bought a couple of floats from Walmart.
Yes they have them.
What size fenders or bouys
6.5 and 23 in long bought on eBay. Thanks for watching.
Hi, where is the material list and measurements?
It’s under the title click down button most everything you need. Thanks for watching. God bless.
@@attechoutdoors5893 Thanks. I'm an idiot sometimes.
Me too …..!🤔
When those floats gets cold those holes will suck water.
No problems yet. We mainly go spring through fall months out in the kayaks. Thanks God bless.
That's the flattest water I have ever seen, now try it on the sea.
Not big enough for me to do that. 😂 thanks for watching.
> no...
Kayak🛶👍👍👍👍👍👍good👍👍🛶✌
Lol safety first kids these guys don't know what that means 😂
But we had fun Scott. Lol
God bless you bud.
Get rid of the music
I don’t rock, I bluegrass...lol. God bless
I love the music!
Over 20 min of some hillbilly music sucks. Pretty good video but that stupid song for 20 plus min....thumbs down.
Thanks for liking the video....! Everybody don’t like the same type of music. If everyone was the same it would be a boring world. May God bless you.
@@attechoutdoors5893 Its not the music, its 20 min of the same song. If the music were silent during the speaking? God bless you and yours as well. Lets pray 2021 will be better to us all.
Thanks Tom....some of our early videos we were in learning process. Yes Brother we must pray for the New Year and all things. Thanks for reply. God bless your family.
