The motor reverse lock not have one is a great ideal! I have a build going on with the steering under the bracket to. It makes sense to keep pressure on the foot control steering that will stop the motor from coming up in reverse! Great video

Very well thought out my engineer friend. Maybe I will get back out in your area and watch you fish in that thing sometime

Thanks Carson. This is my second diy motor project, the first one I fished for three years so I had a chance to decide what I liked and what I would improve. Funny, I like building them as much as I like fishing them... sometimes I wish I could test, sell and start over!

Hi there, I appreciate your videos! Im located in Australia and have just purchased a radar 115. Can i ask if the foot steering system being shorter than the original wilderness setup bothered you or caused any issues?

What is the "locking" mechanism you mounted to the seat base for keeping the motor hoisted up?

Give "cam cleat" a search on Amazon they are available in a variety of shapes and sizes.

Do you plan on mounting a fish finder to this? I am looking to buy next year and I like this kayak but the others have that flexpod. I want to know how it’s done with this yak. If you do you should do a video, that would be helpful.

Hey Jordon, ya man I am for sure going to put a depth finder on it. I don't even have a paddle yet, I sold my previous kayak as a kit so I have a long list of needs/wants. Keep an eye on my channel, I'll get that thing rigged up as quick as I can. Thanks for watching 👀

How heavy is this compared to other kayaks you may have used? I have a slayer Max 12.5 and it's ridiculously heavy.

Honestly, not too bad... that said, there is no chance I'm lifting it over my head. Not the best "car topper" option. I have a pickup truck and a nice kayak cart so moving it around is no hassle at all.

@@derrekstaley7829 I certainly didn't sell that kayak for any reason other than "rooftop" ability. I loved fishing that platform, so stable, turned on a dime, so much deck space. My wife and I are beginning to travel a bit more and I want to take a kayak! The Recon was just a little too big as we also have bikes and such that all need to fit in the truck in a way that I can still pull a travel trailer. The Recon was way more fun on Tahoe, the Compass will be a little more versatile.

The fact they didn't make the chair able to side all the way back and to swivel for steering a motor is the biggest letdown
@TahoeYakFisher

The chair slides back far enough for "tiller" steering if you prefer but the rudder style steer that I have here allows for "hands free" steering, far superior, no chance I'd be happy with a tiller.
