lol. love it! that dog leash idea was clever as shit. thats great.

Patrick Chestmolowicz - 6 years ago

I really like the dog leash anchor system and the stake out pole light system, the sink drain is a great idea. thanks

roger drum - 6 years ago

You are clearly very sharp. I loved your tips but didn't like the camera angles.

Vicki Charles - 6 years ago

By the way, awesome work. I'm just starting to work on mine.

Vicki Charles - 6 years ago

I was looking at the grip material you used around the top. I tried using carpet grip but couldn't get it to hold. how did you apply them?

Chris Yoder - 7 years ago

did you add the storage behind the seat? I have a small kayak that is lacking storage space

Kayaking CT with Lou - 7 years ago

No Chris. It is an older Heritage and came that way. I did cut a hole, edge it, and drop a cooler into the back of that yak.. LOL You could add a hatch kit to the back of your yak if your at all mechanically inclined.

If your boat is that nasty dirty, I bet your pussy smells like a fish market. Damn!

I love your ingenuity. Good video...

Kayaking CT with Lou - 7 years ago

Thank you. I'm working on putting together a kayak pod for my river camping paddle next week. I usually tow a small kayak and it's not so smooth paddling...looked into buying a pod but they're as much as buying a kayak...so putting one together...will see if it floats tomorrow LOL

Kayaking CT with Lou - 7 years ago

someone asked about the sound tape but now I don't see the message??? Anyways, I bought it on Amazon and it is self sticking and sticks very well if the area is properly cleaned.

HydraYak Outdoors - 8 years ago

Good info very detailed! Thanks!

Kayaking CT with Lou - 7 years ago

Thank you for your support! My mind is always thinking of things to create! Just finished adding a hatch to the front of my kayak and now I'm working on installing a cooler into the back of my kayak. Tired of all add-ons-- like coolers and packs.

andrew Williamson - 8 years ago

i was always raised very spoilt and if i needed something we would go out and buy it. it was never an idea to try and build it but now iam an adult i value videos like this that are so intuitive and huge money savers! if you make any more videos about it you should film the instillation process

Kayaking CT with Lou - 8 years ago

+jett gordon thank you for your encouraging remarks. I don't remember a time when I wasn't creating...one of my fav shows on as a kid was McGiver (spelling?) LOL. I was recently in Home Depot picking up fittings for our new furnace installation--when I saw a green lawn sprinkler cover--the green caught my eye LOL (kinda matched my kayak). I looked around a bit and found a flexible light weight end cap cover. I'm going to see if this can be made into a cheap storage cover and compartment/cup holder...I will try to video as much of the process as I can ; ) ...and post it if it works LOL So glad the vids are helping others!
