[poly]

take a look at this range of bits and pieces and tell me what you think

What stuff do you need to mount Poly?
I saw KK's kayak the other day, man that's one big arse yak, you could spend $1000s fitting that out.

[poly]

Fed, 2 rod holder forward, for trolling to start with, then whenI get a sounder I will need a mount for that plus possum thinks a safety flag would be a good idea as the yaks are dark green in color and very low profile

Paul

P.S. the yaks are Hobie quest's at 13ft in length

possum's new yak



thats a big hole



it will take a lot of fish to fill this one



just left laying around



ready to hit the road

ok witch one of you lot gave possum the camera

Noice..... Lets read about the fishing when you both get to go out.

yep will do, we will have a fish here in the lake tomorrow, wont be trying that hard, more a case of getting used to the yaks and working out were to put things.

Paul

[storms72]

Had my yak for a year and a half poly, still tinkering. So far have added sounder, 2 extra rod holders(have 2 at the sides and 2 rear for trolling/storage), extra bungy straps at side for rod storage, larger rear hatch for battery, home made mount for 55lb electric, cord and clips for rods.

Spend a bit of time on the water fishing and you will soon sort out what you need to take and where it is convenient to have it close to hand.

Poly. I would suggest the first thing you add to it is the flag, as jason said, use it a couple of times and you will work out where to fit everything.
Those accessories look tempting, but don't get sucked into buying stuff you will never use.
How easy is it to gain access to inner panels for fastening nuts onto bolts ?, don't use screws.

[Fed]

So you don't have to paddle Poly, KK's Yak will take a sail but it's got me beat how they work without a keel unless you can only go downwind with them.

What do you do if you fall over, can you get back in or do you have to go to the shore & start again.

I have to say it's not my kind of boating.

How do you pee, I think standing up would tricky and shooting over the side from a sitting position although funny would surely be a disaster. What about the Missus? YIKES! Secret Women's Business.

As far as your deck fittings go I'd wait until I'd used it quite a few times before screwing on any extra junk aside from the safety flag, I'd even try & jury rig that for a while.

Now I see it Poly, they have drop down keels so they can tack into the wind.

[poly]

I have started to pimp up the first of the yaks, as you know by the other thread I have been trying to get on to Scotty rod holders so possum decided to go with a single for now.
The only type on sale was the Hobie brand,, gues what,, they are made by Scotty, but that's ok

mate I can see what you are thinking, and if I were to fish in the one place all the time you would be right to think that way.
On May 9 possum will be heading down to Victoria were we will fish Lake Victoria and Port Albert so a g.p.s will be handy

this is the type of fish finder that would be fitted to most yaks, some how I don't think they would be much good, what do the members think

* Physical: dimensions - 147 x 108 x 66 mm, water resistance - IPX7 [sealed and waterproof]
* Display: type - 4-Level Grayscale SuperTwist Mono LCD, size - 4" / 102 mm [diagonal], resolution - 240 x 160 px, backlight - white LED
* Transducer: output - 100 W [RMS] / 800 W [Peak], frequency - 200 kHz, cone angle - 60 degrees, depth - 600 ft / 183 m / 100 fathoms, temperature - yes, speed - yes [requires optional speed sensor]
* Mount: unit - bracket / in-dash, transducer - transom / in-hull

Jeez Poly these yaks are starting to get out of hand. Go & buy a Seafarer Viking, you know you want to.

[Jumpus GooDarus]

Yeah but most yaks that use them fish offshore off reefs not in a lake where dropoff's are visible by earsight

we do intend to fish offshore J.G.and i like to be a bit different to the run of the mill yak fisho's so we will most likely buy a Lowrance mark 5x DSI they can be bought for as little as $400.

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/LOWRANCE-MARK-5X-DS...=item3366aa0168


the hummingbird 570DI will be worth a closer look as well, I have not been able to find a price on them yet

http://store.humminbird.com/products/415375/570_DI

the only worrisome thing about these sounder's is the amount of power that they will use as i will most likely be using a 7amp hour battery.
I will have to do a lot more research before parting with my money

the only other sounder worth looking at is the hummingbird 365i gps

http://store.humminbird.com/products/307117/365i_Combo

I would like to here what you all think about these sounders, to bad the old lead lines have gone out of fashion a stone tied to a piece of string wont work to well ether

Paul

[kkw]

Pol. the 365Xi (365i) is around $590 and the 570x (not 570di) is around $390 from the place I got my plastic boat from. Price will be better than that I imagine.

[Fed]

My previous boat came with a poverty pack Eagle (Lowrance) fishfinder Poly, I suspect it was the very bottom of the line and it was fine mate. Very easy to use with all the usual bells & whistles.

If I was you I'd go for the X-4 Pro with the dual frequency transducer & 188 Watts RMS power all for the bargain price of $169 at BIAS.

Thanks for that Fed, but what dose the ma stand for and how would i relate it to amp hours

the reason for a sealed 7am hour battery is the fact it can be carried in a dry bag and stowed inside the yak

Paul

[Fed]

The sounder draws 650mA or 0.65 Amps which is a little over half an Amp.

Your battery is supposed to be good for 7 Amp Hours which is 7 Amps for one Hour or 1 Amp for 7 Hours or any combination that adds up to 7Amp Hours if that makes sense.

With those numbers you should be able to draw 0.65 Amps for a bit over 10 Hours but as the battery goes down it won't be much good below about 12 Volts so that's why I said you could count on half a day or maybe a little more.

We don't know if that 650mA is with the light on either, if it is then without the screen light it may draw a lot less than that.

now i am starting to understand how the thing works from a voltage point of view so to make thing even harder i have just called hunts marine about the Furuno LS4100 and they tell me it needs 40wats ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Fed can you help

Paul

[Fed]

I'll google the specs on the 4100 and get back to you.

[Fed]

Power Requirements

12 VDC, 6 Watts

Power = Volts X Amps
6 Watts = 12 Volts X 0.5 Amps

So the Furuno draws slightly less power than the Hummingbird.

I think Furuno make the best stuff and my only complaint I've ever had is my Furuno GPS is a little hard to use the menu system but that could be ME too.
I used to love my old FE400 sounder, 1 power knob & 1 range knob, too easy but my Furuno GPS is doing my brain in.

hi Pez the difference between the Lowrance x5 DSI and the Furuno LS4100 is no that great there is only a $46 between them so now it comes down to two things the size of each unit and how to mount the transducers,, still thinking about it

I do gets the shits when sumbloody gets up & starts babbling their lowrance etc is as good as say a furuno that's when i let them have it

the thing is J.G. there is no a lot between them any more, for someone like my self ether will do the job quite well.

Paul

[Jumpus GooDarus]

2 ways
Make your own bracket to suit
Remove back cover should be 4 screws the flush mount it

[storms72]

Pics Poly, I'v got a few early ones from last trip to yamba, was fishing for mangrove jacks in the creeck across the other side of the river and a good k and a bit downstream-was hard going coming home a couple of times against the outgoing tide and southerly wind.
Sounder wise I'v only got a base model eagle-nice and compact, I'm mainly fishing in the fresh so it shows the bottom structure in the max 50ft water just fine for me. Transducer is mounted with cable ties to the bottom of my motor.
GPS-yes I do use one to mark spots along the nepean and when I go away its helpful to mark the spots where bass are caught, its a garmin handheld-very compact, good battery life and very accurate.
Engine mount-I made it myself from some old bits I had in my garage- a couple of satellite mount bits, a bit of wood and another sat mount bit as a brace.
Yak is from BCF-called a angler-3m, cathederal hull, very stable-can stand and cast.
Engine has been upgraded to minn kota-the one on there did the job fine but was lacking in power-ebay cheapie cost under $150 quoted @ 40lb-more like 20lb.

Its all trial and error-when you're on the water fishing you soon work out what you use a lot and where is a good place to get your hands on it quickly-rods, paddle are the 2 biggies, net next then tackle, if you're going outside fishing a small sea anchor is a bit of kit a few fellas I know use, do a search on the net theres some great set-ups to pinch some ideas from.

that's a great set up you have there the one thing i had not though about was a lecky outboard
couple of questions mate what size battery are you using and how many hours do you get from it and is it used to power the sounder as well

Paul

[storms72]

Battery powers the sounder and motor, its made by power crank-a calcium cell hybrid 540cca 11 plate-think around 65AH.
Heaviest use so far was at yamba running sounder for most of the 4hrs fishing and motor was running for at least 2 hours mainly at max speed-enging specs quoted at max speed are battery input required 12v 34amp, input power 408w-fed might be able to make sense of these figures as far as battery life goes-the sounder draws bugger all.
When I got back to the wharf after that fishing trip the engine still showed 12.3v on the sounder.

Some of the guys in my fishing club have their engines mounted on the back of their yaks-they have made up their own brackets out of alloy.

[Jumpus GooDarus]

Dont Gee him up storms cause next think you'll know is he'll want triple rod holders on the yak

Yo polyman
know where ewe can get wun of those lecky's @ a goodarus price cant recall if it's a 35 lb or 55lb thrust only used a few times

you must be psychic, a complete set arrived Friday, fitted it up today, looks good to so when the camera battery charges up I will take a photo or two, as for the lecky I will need some time to think on how to repair it s
sounder should arrive on Tuesday with luck it will be fitted in time for the big trip away arrrrrrr the though of it 3 weeks with nothing to do except go fishing

I may get a new one one day

as promised the photos of the rod holders

[kkw]

Dropped in and checked out Poly's kayaks today. They look pretty good, but need a polish. New rod holders are cool. Pol didn't look himself though. Poor old fella had a bad case of swollen head.
Went in and had a coffee. He must have heard that I spilled a cuppa on Sav's lounge, so he had covered his lounge with fabric in case I did the same at his place. Probably had plastic under the covers as well. Pol went shopping today and little kids were looking at him and screaming, so possum made him wear this outfit. Looks good on him.

Presume you were in the napean, 41's a bloody good fish for that area, well done.

[storms72]

When I live closer to the salt JG.

41 is fair size frank, there are bigger around, average size is around 30, the fishladders have helped a lot not only opening things up for the bass but has improved access with less weed build up-water flow is more consistent instead of huge flows when its wet then barely anything for months.

I like that scroll back and mark a waypoint feature Poly, I'd be happy with a sounder like that.

the sounder is fitted, the transducer had to go on the out side of the yak the trouble is I cant use my rudder
with the transducer in the yak I was getting a very week signal, but its working very well now

Got a call from Poly the Yakman tonight. He has been down in Port Albert since Tuesday, in a rented trailer camper. It has been bucketing down since just after they set up and hasn't stopped. The yaks are still on the roof rack. He has to drive to the toilet block because the rain is so heavy. He will not be buying a camper trailer!!!

yes its true, there is no way I would buy one, infact if I were to be given one the donor would be thanked with a punch in the nose

let me tell you this possum and I packed up the camper van and moved to a new park some 100 or so k's away only to find the zipper on the cover had broken now there is no way to unpack the tent on the trailer, you should have seen me spit the dummy over that one, on second thought's best you didn't
