This is Great! I was think of doing this also. I bought a WindRider Tango (sailing kayak) without the outriggers and this is what I was planning to do. Thank you for the video. I'll nee both sides of course for sailing
this is the best homemade outrigger on youtube, easy to make and looks good, been trying to make one for my yak and i think this one will be my best example to follow, thanks for the vid !!
If you go off shore do you take a small bilge pump with you? Is your system proven have you turned off your motor and fished under your boat for a while to check your valve system! My zodiac has cute little drains but you should plug them when not underway ! I'm thinkin about powering a hobie here in Idaho on the snake! Thank
n3113n thanks, glad you like it. front is being held by a 2x6 board with the 4 rod holders and 2 pipes going into rear drains. Rear is a U-shape pipe thru-bolted 1 1/4 aluminum pipe fastened to that (removable). kayak to stabilizer 1"pipe I don't know how to send link..( DIY outrigger/stabilizer and motor on kayak ) check it out at about 1:50... hope it helps
JM556 thanks, glad you like it. Rough cost was about $300. Styrofoam sheets, epoxy, fiberglass , sandpaper ,tape .etc. Pipes and screws.. Was fun to make.. if your gonna try it... good luck
enjoy the ride nice man thanks, i was thinking of putting a trolling motor on my tarpon 140 but figure a pontoon and outboatd would be better, definitely gonna have to try this, thanks for the reply
Mind if I ask what you used to attach the pontoon to the rigger brackets? It looks like you have the brackets screwed into a base plate sunk into the (bondo?). Would really like to follow thus method when I do mine, thinking fiberglass and resin should make it even stronger. Just need to find a foam that will stand up to the themalytic reaction.
czcams.com/video/Vqy1z28xRtQ/video.html. This is first video of outriggers.. zoom. Better view of how pipes where attached... any questions.. I'll try to answer
@@cesluis40 Thx for the replies, what were those base plates made of? Also did you just use regular screws to attach the brackets to the base plate on the pontoon or did you glue it with epoxy? Sorry for all the questions, would like to recreate what you did cause your pontoons look professional and streamlined to minimize drag. Oh... What's the green finish, paint or a water resistant/proof plastic coating?
Great video hey I have some outrigger myself i just instilled them yesterday on my kayak it a sea stream 120 pd I was wondering could u tell me how u made the Bracket for the outboard motor I have a 2.5 suzuki still trying to Figure out where I am going to put it but if I can get my motor where you have yours in this video that will be awesome thanks
czcams.com/video/Vqy1z28xRtQ/video.html this was the origanal video, you get a much better look at everything. take a look at 1:54 to 2:00 I used a 2x6 peice of wood
Hi Redrum I used a 1" diameter square tube from kayak to outrigger on outrigger ends I used a 1 1/8 square tube on kayak end I used a U shaped pipe. czcams.com/video/Vqy1z28xRtQ/video.html Start at about 1:40 First video I made of outrigger, you can get a better view of pipes and how I attached them.
Nice job! How long is your outrigger? I actually started mine last night and just found your vid waiting for the first coat of fairing to dry. Wondering if 8'3" is long enough (11" tall), my kayak is 12'6". Again nice job and tight lines!
enjoy_D_ride where u stay? I see Flamingo in your vids. I am in Miami, we are going card sound road tomorrow (I think). We do Flamingo to East Cape every couple of years. With a motor it will be much more enjoyable... U got instagram?
Ryan Fisher l stay in north Miami.. close to haulover and oleta park. usually go out of Dania beach. Matheson hammocks and deering estates are pretty good to. did 1 time camping with son @ flamingo. mosquitos were hungry. maybe will see other out there one day. tight lines
yes it does, more between kayak and pontoon. but I can stand and throw a cast net with no problems now. Good luck with yours any questions I will love to try and help. It was a fun project ..
Awesome job man, I love it. I plan on doing this exact same thing on my Vibe sea ghost. Haven't quite decided where to mount it yet but seeing how well it worked having both arms on the back for you seems like the option i'll go with. What did you use for the brackets on the outrigger and did you do anything more than fiberglass/bondo them in place?
Jesse Warner Hey glad u like it. Was a fun project worked better then I thought it would. I used a piece of square pipe to fasten outriggers, but was mostly for height. Laminated small aluminium square in outrigger for support, like a backing plate. I laminated riggers with Styrofoam, exopy resin, and gelcoat ( marine paint). No putty. There's one other video of outrigger, kind of same thing. Just has better view of how its mounted. Good luck with yours any questions let me know.
The rear is self bailing (drained by itself). On the inside were i was sitting, i made some draining check valves out of pvc and a paddle ball. That yak takes on a lot of water.
Sunshine Sunny no need to do both. I have tried to flip kayak and can't. have one whole side to fish, get in and out of kayak plus, with stabilizer on both sides motor has to be mounted on the back have to figure how to start, stop, shift and steer.
@@cesluis40 how did you mount the motor? Do you have any close ups for that? I plane on connecting it to the front crossbar with anchors to keep the 2x4 from bending with the motor pressure.
@Justin Jones I hooked it up to the wood that's behind me. Screwed up by not putting better close ups on that video, but check out the first video I made of kayak has all the close ups i think you'll need.
No.. you only need 1 outrigger. It obviously doesn't allow me to tip to the right, and it acts as a counterweight to my left..i would have to tip the outrigger and motor completely out of the water to flip to my left.. Possible but pretty hard to do
I tried the 2 yaks together. Was a real pain in the butt to assemble and disassemble . Just didn't like it. But if you do it, would like to see how it comes out
@@cesarflores2324 Im only thinking the 2 kayaks can be used individually at anytime, It depends on wether the missus or daughter wants to come for a paddle ( which is highly unlikely lol ).
@@Jpgundarun When fishing in the ocean, their were sharks. Before stabilizer I was always nervous about tipping over. Plus motor made a huge difference.
think there is a good reason he did not show how he made the out rigging, I am sure it will break soon if foam and body putty is all he used. bud that was a little selfish not to show that but I dont show what I am ashamed of either.
You look so happy! Amazing work!
the guariscos thank you I was happy..
Its nice when a project comes out exactly as planned
sweeeeeet! looks like a smooth ride on a calm day.
This is Great! I was think of doing this also. I bought a WindRider Tango (sailing kayak) without the outriggers and this is what I was planning to do. Thank you for the video. I'll nee both sides of course for sailing
I made similar to your DIY outrigger and it’s great 👍 thank you for showing your DIY
Glad it's working for you.
Makes it a whole different ride
@@cesluis40yes its amazing I don’t struggle when I fighting the current 😅
Seems like the best way, and safest.
this is the best homemade outrigger on youtube, easy to make and looks good, been trying to make one for my yak and i think this one will be my best example to follow, thanks for the vid !!
david lostres Thanx and glad u like it, was a fun project.
If your gonna make one...good luck and If u have any questions I can try and help.
I want do that to My kayak, good idea
Hey would love to get some plans on now you went about attaching this to your kayak and building the pontoon cheers brad
great my bro i like so much your ability God bro im here in saipan
Nice penn Ss I have a bunch of em
cool !
Hi. Thanks a lot for sharing!! One question: if you need to paddle for some reason, does it interfere?
No, lucky i spaced supports enough
If you go off shore do you take a small bilge pump with you? Is your system proven have you turned off your motor and fished under your boat for a while to check your valve system! My zodiac has cute little drains but you should plug them when not underway ! I'm thinkin about powering a hobie here in Idaho on the snake! Thank
Kayak is self bailing, so under normal speed works fine. But with high speed to much water rushes in from under yak.
Amazing im doing the exact same thing but with a electric motor instead.. im curious how did u attach the pontoon to the boat?
n3113n thanks, glad you like it.
front is being held by a 2x6 board with the 4 rod holders and 2 pipes going into rear drains.
Rear is a U-shape pipe thru-bolted 1 1/4 aluminum pipe fastened to that (removable). kayak to stabilizer 1"pipe
I don't know how to send link..( DIY outrigger/stabilizer and motor on kayak )
check it out at about 1:50... hope it helps
Give your channel 👍, thank God u didn't start talking
hi this looks amazing, just wanted to know a rough cost for making the pontoons? i would like to try and replicate
JM556 thanks, glad you like it.
Rough cost was about $300.
Styrofoam sheets, epoxy, fiberglass , sandpaper ,tape .etc.
Pipes and screws..
Was fun to make.. if your gonna try it... good luck
enjoy the ride nice man thanks, i was thinking of putting a trolling motor on my tarpon 140 but figure a pontoon and outboatd would be better, definitely gonna have to try this, thanks for the reply
I have the same yak do you need the outrigger for the side mount motornto work ?
nick parimuha I'd say yes you do, at least some kind of stabilizer or else the kayak will be unbalanced.
Force from motor will tilt yak

Would really like to follow thus method when I do mine, thinking fiberglass and resin should make it even stronger. Just need to find a foam that will stand up to the themalytic reaction.
Hey.. what u see about 1:05 into video is the foam laminated in epoxy resin ( same as surf boards). Backing plates are laminated in.

This is first video of outriggers.. zoom.
Better view of how pipes where attached... any questions.. I'll try to answer
Sorry.. zoom to end of other video

@@outsidethebox218 i used stainless steel plate 1/8" laminated in before lay coat of fiberglass.
Used stainless steel 1/4-20 bolts

@@cesluis40 ok thanks I will Check it out
Hello, what kind of brackets did you use to attach pole to the outrigger?
Hi Redrum
I used a 1" diameter square tube from kayak to outrigger on outrigger ends I used a 1 1/8 square tube on kayak end I used a U shaped pipe.
czcams.com/video/Vqy1z28xRtQ/video.html
Start at about 1:40
First video I made of outrigger, you can get a better view of pipes and how I attached them.
awesome, thanks for replying! this is the best build I've seen on youtube
Redrum A thanks it was a fun project, good luck on yours if your gonna make one.
Nice job! How long is your outrigger? I actually started mine last night and just found your vid waiting for the first coat of fairing to dry. Wondering if 8'3" is long enough (11" tall), my kayak is 12'6". Again nice job and tight lines!
Ryan Fisher thanks twas a fun project. outrigger is actually 7' 1/2" × 11"
insulation boards are 8×4.
Ryan Fisher my kayak is 12' long
Good luck with it, any question or anything let me know.

day. tight lines
enjoy_D_ride I seen the yak for sale of CL. Why u selling it?
And will a pontoon like that give u extra carry weight?
yes it does, more between kayak and pontoon. but I can stand and throw a cast net with no problems now.
Good luck with yours any questions I will love to try and help.
It was a fun project ..

What do you do about the water coming in the boat?
The rear is self bailing (drained by itself).
On the inside were i was sitting, i made some draining check valves out of pvc and a paddle ball.
That yak takes on a lot of water.
what did you used from step 1 please and thank you
Silvia Pariente I used insulation boards from Lowe's they come in an 8×4 ft. sheet.
what glue did you used?
Silvia Pariente I used exopy resin... same as on a surfboard
why only rig one side? why not both ?
Sunshine Sunny no need to do both. I have tried to flip kayak and can't. have one whole side to fish, get in and out of kayak
plus, with stabilizer on both sides motor has to be mounted on the back have to figure how to start, stop, shift and steer.
I had no idea it would work as good as it does. really no need for both sides
Did it do good in bigger waves?
It did much better then I thought it would, but that kayak was not made for the ocean.
@@cesluis40 how did you mount the motor? Do you have any close ups for that? I plane on connecting it to the front crossbar with anchors to keep the 2x4 from bending with the motor pressure.
@Justin Jones I hooked it up to the wood that's behind me.
Screwed up by not putting better close ups on that video, but check out the first video I made of kayak has all the close ups i think you'll need.
What kind of board is that white thing
Insulation foam board, sold at home depot or Lowe's.. for insulating walls
With an outrigger on one side, what stops you from tipping the other way? Do you have to constantly lean in the direction of the outrigger?
No.. you only need 1 outrigger.
It obviously doesn't allow me to tip to the right, and it acts as a counterweight to my left..i would have to tip the outrigger and motor completely out of the water to flip to my left..
Possible but pretty hard to do
It's like holding a book straight to the side with your right arm, and bending your body to the left
hello nice project. is any way I can have the diy project design if u don't mind. thanks and God bless u
Silvia Pariente sorry, but can't find the drawings I made.
I can try to answer any questions you may have
Two Kayaks or a catamaran Hull for a stabiliser, that's what Im thinking.
I tried the 2 yaks together. Was a real pain in the butt to assemble and disassemble .
Just didn't like it.
But if you do it, would like to see how it comes out

Top speed?
Sorry for delay, top speed was 12mph.. gets shaky though
Hey man you still have this yak for sell?
Tristen Cox yes I do
Tristen Cox not sure how to send a private message send me your info I'll respond
how many Hp motor?
Foxy rollins 3.5 hp. You can see it at 7:13
A little to much I think, but I got a great deal on it.
good brand
Foxy rollins Mercury is a great brand.. second to only Yamaha
In my opinion.
done subscribe dari BaRd FiRe AnGLeR nice spot
Yes it is
I think I would just buy a boat. Lol
think there is a good reason he did not show how he made the out rigging, I am sure it will break soon if foam and body putty is all he used. bud that was a little selfish not to show that but I dont show what I am ashamed of either.
Your video has No Sound!!
chuck Genarie yeah.
I couldn't figure that part out
Cool manufacturing. Poor video. I cant hear a single word. It just looks sad
