La Jolla 1/21/2022 on the Solo Skiff (no fish porn, sorry!) - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I usually have the bait tank screw lid off, because it's easy enough to put bait caught on the Sabiki in and take some out when I need it. Without having to remove the lid or hatch. The screw on clear lid has a thin bungee so I don't loose it. That annoying noise is actually the exhaust noise from a few small holes on the lower unit that have these little ports. Don't know why they are there, it's not for excess pressure release. I wonder if the engine would be other wise super quiet. It just happens to be a frequency that the GoPro accentuates, the camera makes it sound mechanical and it isn't.
