- Custom outrigger build on the LIFETIME YUKON kayak.
(More details will be posted soon)
**Correction: In the video it was stated the floats were ordered from Amazon, however, they were ordered from Walmart. Here is the link to the item.

Nice, this is the best way of doing it that I've seen so far. I like how you didnt do any unnecessary drilling in the boat or make any crazy changes, great idea using the existing rod holders as a way to secure the board. I didn't think of that, glad that I found this video!
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing your work. I'm gonna do similar to my kayak while leaving a gap between the yak and the outriggers to fit in my watersnake trolling motor.
I'm making the swap from whitewater and surf kayaking to fishing from a kayak and this was the best video BY FAR on outriggers for a kayak! Thank you for the excellent video! I'll be Rip'n Lips from my kayak in no time! And not be worrying so much about my big ass going for an unwanted swim!
Rip'n Lips in Amarillo Texas!
Thank you for you nice comments!
I have been 3 days looking at different plans for DIY outriggers. This is by far, not only the best, easiest setup, it is the best presentation of how you did it. Search is over, THIS is the one I'll be doing. Thank you to both your for your excellent work and your wife for proper supervision of the overall project.
Thank you so much we really appreciate your nice comments.
@@5gadventureoutdoors8 What diameter was the floats bc the link to walmart didn't work.
this is the best DIY for outriggers . Thanks for the video!
Thank you!
I second this. I just got dumped out of my kayak on Sunday in high wind/waves and I'll be building this setup after work today. I'm just trying to find the floats.
Thanks for making this video. Very informative and most of all functional. I like that you used the 1" sections to go inside the 1" 1/4" to allow for easy removal while transporting. You could incorporate at least three rod holders in the 1" 1/4" behind the seat if you felt you needed them. I also have the 27" fenders. They are a lot more stable than the smaller 23". I have a Brooklyn RA220. It's 11.5 ft. so at 34" wide by 11.5 ft the 27" seems much more appropriate. Thanks again. Please end me links if you have other videos.
Good idea . Waterproof boat varnish on the board would make it better. Thanks
i like your ideas as i have the same boat and was trying to think of ways to put on out riggers for myself. im not a big man weighing in at about 5'10" and 200 but i am pushing 50 and my balance isnt quite what is was i can stand in mine but not very convincing doing it. my 21yr son about the same size stand in it all day. thank you for the idea
Well executed, I'm just finishing up mines . Thank you for the video..💪😎🤙
You’re very welcome!
Great job on the design. I definitely want to incorporate some of these ideas. I’m trying to find a way to make it easily removable so I can load my kayak on my car.
Thanks for the view and comment.. You could add a nut to the bolts that hold the bolts in place then set the bord directly on top of those nuts and tighten the board down the same way as the video shows. This would allow you to remove the board but the bolts would remain in place.
Nice job! Congrats!
Thank you
Very Nice ... Hope these work out well for you
Instead of vice grips, put two nuts on the bolt (after your bolt is screwed on a ways) you can tighted those two nuts together so you can then use a wrench on one of those nuts to hold the bolt still while you finish screwing down the nut. Once your main nut is tight, you can just remove the other two nuts.
nice job definitely ill repeat that on mine thanks
I did mine this way.but i added 2 45 degree ells 10 inches apart on the main pipe and a small pipe on the woth another 45 to strengthen them out and now i jave 2 rod holders behind my seat
Nice job 👍
You know, the method of attachment is sturdy enough you could use the same to attach a trolley wheel also. The issue would be bracing the wheels because of the long moment arm and stress to the attachment. Urey struts or even para cord running fore and aft to pad eyes could give support to the deployed wheels.
i like your set-up.
Great idea! I’m looking to do something like this myself! I’m trying to figure out a way I can flip them up when I’m not using them
I can spin mine over when not in use.
The blue glue is for when you're trying to glue up in water so it sets up faster Audi's makes blue in a red can that's all purpose that works really well and is clear. Been Plumbing for 18 years beautiful family thanks for advice on the anchor Trolley system and works great God's love
Thank you and God bless!
Great job
Thank you!
Very nice how did you find out the length of the pipe attached to the float I see some people that have their floats under the water but yours looks perfect
Nice write up.
Thank you!
That's bad ass dude!
Thank you!
Good design maybe use schedule 80 pvc pipe much stronger
It will still drag to a certain extent. We know because we built one similar to this two years ago. We have a idea to make this better but have not had time to make it better yet😄
Towards the end he explains that he drilled holes for pins so that he can swing them in the upward position
Nice! How much of a difference did it make on drag while rowing, since they are in the water? I am trying to get a design for my kayak but I don't know if I want them to be that far into the water and make it harder to row.
There is a little bit of drag but I don’t really notice unless I have a strong head wind.
I thought in your video you said you were gonna post all the material and all the links from your build it be handy because I have the same kayak just newer
I'm looking to do this and was wondering if the 8.5x27 is the go to. I'm probably about as big as you are and was wondering if a 6.5x23" would work the same. Hard to come by the bigger bumpers.
Very nice ,

Will these help slightly increase the carrying capacity as well?
Yes it has helped mine.
Does your outrigger system interfere with your anchor trolley? I have concerns about that.
Doesn’t seem to. The only issue I have ever had is my paddle hitting the buoy when paddling hard. Thank you for your question.
What diameter is the floats?
did hey interfere with your paddeling??
They do a little bit. We got a longer paddle and that help for sure.
Why not just mount the pvc straight to the kayak why the board? Seems like added weight for nothing
Thank you for the question. We went with the board so we could make sure the main pvc pipe was secure. I was afraid mounting just to the kayak would not be secure enough.
Thx for video. I have pelican Sentinel 100XP. Was going to rig these with the 90 degree pipe stuck in existing rod holders. You think your method is more stable? Also did the pvc tees and 90s attach to electrical conduit tightly? What glue? They make glue for both kind of pipe.
@@garymeredith3610 thanks for the watch. They were very snug. We used standard purple PVC cleaner and glue from Lowes. It has held strong for over a year in and out of weather.
@@5gadventureoutdoors8 thx for reply. I'll copy your design then. 1 more ?. Looks like the tees and end caps are reg pvc not electrical conduit?
@@garymeredith3610 correct. At the time we couldn't find the correct angles in the conduit so we used PVC instead.
Paint the board .
