I just use my portable bilge pump until I can test out the paddle priming. The bilge fits in the pvc elbow perfectly. I had the bilge thats why I didnt get the primer. Its the same thing imho and Im cheap haha.
Yea Im still planning on straping it down firmly so it does not move at all when its back there. Just need to take a trip to southwind for some rivits, screws and nuts plus some other goodies.

Make sure you use stainless steel hardware all around

Now that is great yak porn...now all we need is a center fold...lol, looks great, should hunt halibut quite nicely and hopefully catch them just as well, well done.

You might want to reconsider the length of the rocket launchers. The rods may be easy to remove when you're not on the kayak but imagine yourself hooked to a fish and now you have to pull up and out on on the rod while the fish is pulling down. Most of the guys that I fish with use homemade rocket launchers similar to this

Yea I was looking at the pics and they seemed a little high haha. Was planning on trimming them a little but those pics of the home made launchers and , trolling extenders? looked great! What an awesome idea. Ill have to give it a shot.
Thanks!

Added the battery box on instead of having it flop around. I put the handle on the lid with some bungee cord and a piece of the tube by just tying a knot. The lid is on the same way. I can just toss it back there and it wont swing around.
