+Saul Bibas Hola, tengo otro vídeo donde explico con peras y manzanas como hacer el control de velocidad. Para subir la pata del motor sólo lo puedes hacer estando abajo del kayak, no hay otra forma.

you have done a great job get the nose down and you could sell them in there hundreds

octavio moro - 9 years ago

Hola que tal, una consulta. Estando en el medio del rio o laguna, como haces para encenderlo? ya que el motor lo tenes atras y no esta al alcance la "piola" de arranque? Gracias

Claudio Hernandez - 9 years ago

+octavio moro Hola, lo más sencillo del mundo fue anexarle una cuerda a la piola de arranque, y dado que mis motores encendían hasta con un rozón nunca tuve problemas. Saludos!

Gary West - 9 years ago

the front of the Kayak being so high in the front is telling me it is way out of trim. To get the front of the boat down and pick up more speed, to get on Plane, you need a hydroplane on the outboard motor that you can adjust the pitch on it, meaning the more you adjust it up in the front and down in the back, it will direct the prop blast lower, thus pushing down the front of the boat, they adjusts are small, adjusta a little at a time to get the boat leveled out and get the speed up use a gps on the phone, once you have the fastest speed achieved you are done.

Andrew Townley - 7 years ago

Exactly, in proper trim you could expect the top speed to at least double. I run a similar Mercury on my kayak but in 5H.P.. It's a bit scary at top speed, and not for children at all.

A M - 9 years ago

Gracias por el video Claudio. Me ayudo a adaptar un 3.3hp Mercury a mi Hobie Pro Angler 14. Tus videos fueron de gran ayuda para resolver los problemas del kill switch y el throttle control. El unico detalle que no funciono fue tapar el shifter para que el cable bajara las revoluciones del motor, so lo resolvi con un spring en el acelerador estilo maquina de podar.

Claudio Hernandez - 9 years ago

+Manuel Perez “yakfishingtexas” Excelente, en mi caso en ambos motores no fue necesario el resorte pero si, es lo ideal. Felicidades.

A M - 9 years ago

Lo hice, pero no trabajaba consistentemente, so use el spring para forzarlo a su posicion original de velocidad baja.

Claudio Hernandez - 9 years ago

+Manuel Perez “yakfishingtexas” Hola, me da gusto que te hayan servido, para que el cambiador pudiera bajar las velocidades había que retirar los empaques que mantienen el acelerador en su lugar, de tal forma que no hubiera resistencia ni para bajar ni para subir, pero si, con un resorte funciona mejor. Saludos!

ryan davey - 9 years ago

if u move ur seat foward or put weights at the front to hold down the kayak to make the engine flat, u will go much faster and easier to control

+marektube sometimes you want to do something different when the current or wind is kicking your arse! I go 15-20 miles out offshore in my Hobie PA and when I come back I had times the current was kicking my 6. That is why I put an outboard on it. Only for those trips offshore or when I plan to do > 10 miles

PATRICK MCKOWEN - 9 years ago

Interesting but too noisy for my taste -- I want to get out to hear nature and not hear the noise of a motor or smell the fumes of gas! Electric with a nice big AH Lifepo4 battery.
Cheers, Patrick

Andrew Townley - 7 years ago

Before buying a torpedo, check into Elco electric outboards. USA based and making electric outboards and yacht motors for over 100 years. I run a 20 H.P. outboard on my 21 foot Avalon pontoon boat. It's so much nicer than yelling over a gas engine.

Claudio Hernandez - 9 years ago

+Manuel Perez “yakfishingtexas” Yeap, that's exactly why using a gas motor is not a bad idea. We all know we can use an inflatable with the same outboard, but it's less efford just to put your kayak on the water and you are ready, when you need to go short distances, it's less efford just to paddle.

A M - 9 years ago

Hobie makes a trolling motor called the torqueedo evolve v2 that is design for my Hobie Pro Angler. I just couldn't pass through the idea of forking $2,200 dollars for it when my kayak is $3200. With $300 I was able to purchase an old Mercury 3.3hp outboard like the one in the video and after making the base and other materials I probably spend less than $500 on this project. A cheaper option would have been to use the Minnkota C2 that sells for $99 in Walmart and get a $80 battery. The weight, distance, and speed made me decide to go with the outboard at the end. We are talking roundtrips of 30+ miles when I go to the oil rigs to fish for king fish. I used the Hobie Sail kit, but had trouble beating strong currents, so decided to try this.

PATRICK MCKOWEN - 9 years ago

+Manuel “yakfishingtexas” Perez for the most part you are correct but I guess that would depend on the battery that one would purchase - if you go with expensive LifePO4 than the weight comes way down and the range goes way up, comes down the $$'s I guessCheers, Patrick

A M - 9 years ago

+PATRICK MCKOWEN I agree with stealth, but the problem is weight. Those electric motors require a big heavy battery to give you 10-15 miles range tops, so the gas outboard although less eco friendly is best for long trips. Also, way lighter!

Claudio Hernandez - 9 years ago

+Zyzyzx Zyzer Good for you dude. Leave the danger for those who can handle it

Zyzyzx Zyzer - 9 years ago

+PATRICK MCKOWEN especially when it can roll over so easy without outriggers and spill gas in the water.

Claudio Hernandez - 9 years ago

+PATRICK MCKOWEN That's why colors exists.

no sube agua por el cardan!! xq el nivel del motor es mas alto q el del agua! de todas formas si entrara, no le hace nada xq tiene los asientos de bancada sellados, en cuanto a la modificacion, es una helice en lugar del cabezal. igual si se banca ese motor del video mucho mejor, pero como andara en un kayaxion wild spirit como el mio? no es tan largo como ese!

AUTOTEKS - 10 years ago

+Sebastian Vega Si, sin duda, pero ahí hay que modificar la bordeadora para que use propela y no suba agua. Además casi en todos lados sólo requieres registrar un motor cuando pasa de 10hp, menos de eso no hay problema. Gracias por comentar.

Detector 79 - 10 years ago

ponele un motor 2t de bordeadora naftera de 35cc, tiene 2hp y pesa 1/4 de lo q pesa ese motor, y ademas como no es fuera de borda no necesitas nada para q sea legal, con el mismo puño dirigis y aceleras, y no necesitas reformar el kayak.

Claudio Hernandez - 10 years ago

+SNI | Minecraft Gameplays, Skits & Commentaries Not necessary, many guys use 4 and 5hp, if your kayak is very big you can use them, but ~~I think~~ 3.5hp has the best power/weight ratio, 2 stroke are 13kgs top, 4 and 5 can get up to 20kgs or 25kgs, on a small kayak, with so much weight and power can get very unstable.

SNI - 10 years ago

+Claudio Hernandez So 3.5Hp is as good as it gets?

Claudio Hernandez - 10 years ago

I know!. Thanks for writing.

it's a articulated tiller, like an L so if you push the tiller you turn rigth, if you pull the tiller you turn left, it's a hard concept to understand until you make it work.

Claudio Hernandez - 11 years ago

Hi, very good question! I have a pic of another kayak and motor that could help you see how it works, send me an email so I can show it to you. From my kayaks I don't think I have one, I don't know why. =(

maplefu fu - 11 years ago

Oh maybe I know. You make a perpendicular, so you could turn left easily,

maplefu fu - 11 years ago

Hi Claudio, how could control your direction using your extend handle? Do you have any videos or photos to show how to make this extend handle? Thanks again.

redwoodfox - 11 years ago

I need this on my yak..lol

Claudio Hernandez - 11 years ago

Yes, just attach a rope to the pullcord and you are ready to start it any time.

maplefu fu - 11 years ago

Thanks. So is it easy to restart your engine when you are in the center of lake in your kayak

Claudio Hernandez - 11 years ago

I fixit with and hydrofoil, you can see it in my videos.

Claudio Hernandez - 11 years ago

Hi, I didn't do that, my motors still manual start. Thank you!.

Nick Sozansky - 11 years ago

just a tip. i think maybe you should put more weight in the front to help it plain a little better. great video

maplefu fu - 11 years ago

Hi Claudio, it's an excellent video. could you explain how could you convert the manual start motor to electrical start one? and what's your outboard motor?

mexican707 - 11 years ago

What would happen if u put a 20 inch shaft on it ?

01maxiboy - 11 years ago

great video! well done :) thanks for posting

Claudio Hernandez - 11 years ago

Well, if you are in a lake, and you get bad weather, trust me, the only safe way to get you out of there is with a motor, a kayak runing with an outboard motor it's way more stable than with a paddle. And if you are stoped, for fishing it's like all kayaks, behave the same way.

Claudio Hernandez - 11 years ago

Yeap!, you are all right, I fixed the drag problem with an Hydrofoil, got 30% more speed, however same motor on a planing hull will get even more. But, was just for fun and learning!. Thanks for writing.

Claudio Hernandez - 11 years ago

Thank you!.

Claudio Hernandez - 11 years ago

Pues depende, hay kayaks de 3mts usados en menos de $3500 pesos mexicanos, y el motor por ejemplo un 2hp de yamaha lo encuentras también usado desde unos $4000, lo demás es mano de obra.

3G Michigan - 11 years ago

Looks like you have done a great job of mating the engine to a kayak. The problem may be that the kayak is probably not a planing hull. It is probably a displacement hull and therefore cannot plane. That is why at speed your hull is sucked down into the water instead of planing on top of it. With 3.5 hp pushing so little weight, you should be going more than twice as fast as you are....with a planing hull.

corkyakker - 11 years ago

Hi I like the way you set up your outboard on a kayak.Nice video.I'm wondering how it goes when you stop for fishing in a choppy windy condition.You think you need to put on a stabilizer or that set up will do.It looks cool.

MrJohnjohn04 - 11 years ago

come to Texas... i live on a small river that intersects into a larger one! very peaceful!! Miles and miles of river to yourself... no people hardly,no houses...just river and wildlife! :)

piepiedog1 - 11 years ago

Peaceful? Where I kayak the water is mostly full of drunken teenagers on motorboats D:

Claudio Hernandez - 11 years ago

Nop, I didn't a new video with the hydrofoil or how I did it, currently I'm working in other projects so is not in my plans do it soon. Greetings!.

Claudio Hernandez - 11 years ago

I did that too, but as I'm telling other folks, nothing worked as the custom hydrofoil I made for the leg of the motor, got 30% more speed by reducing that drag. Thank you anyway.

Claudio Hernandez - 11 years ago

What? Sorry dude, only english and spanish.

Claudio Hernandez - 11 years ago

Thank you. Every part is hand made, is not so dificult but you have to make all the parts. I'll send a photo of the hydrofoil installed. I made docens of speed tests, including triming, nothing works as the hydrofoil, I don't have a video of the kayak runing with the hydrofoil but trust me, it works.

jens frederik Krag - 11 years ago

Congratulations Very Nice Indeed!!! Are all fittings homemade or can you suggest where to buy what is needed? I live in Denmark all surrounded by ocean and waterways, so it could be great fun to supply our cano with a motor. Photo your hydrofoil? I think you could get far in speed by putting a little more downward angle to the motortrim and place the gasolin tank in front of the canoe. Please let me know if you can support me with futher detail. You can mail me at jfkrag@gmail.com

Claudio Hernandez - 11 years ago

I'm very glad you like it, I hope these ideas help you keep fishing. With a 2hp outboard you can use a 9-10 foot lighter kayak, or use it with a trolling motor too, when outbards are forbidden. Thank you again!.

MsSaint1962 - 11 years ago

This is fantastic, don't listen to the knockers please.. I have a disability and love fishing. I use a 14 foot canoe with a 2 horse power motor..runs good, but due to my illness the canoe can be difficult for me to lift in and out of the water. I have been thinking of converting to a kayak, but trouble paddling due to illness. This idea is perfect for people like myself..and lots of fun too it seems. I cannot afford a big expensive boat but can enjoy life with simple things like this.Thank you

Claudio Hernandez - 11 years ago

oh dude! you are so fckd!, get a life!, find your self a woman!. Seriusly, do you really think that I care what you think?.

Guenounovitch - 11 years ago

but he's right and your kayak is a pure shit dude

Claudio Hernandez - 11 years ago

So exaggerated!!!, come on dude!, your are more intelligent than that!, how many people do you know that uses a powerkayak?, do you know that we live in different countries?, trust me, you'll never ever see me arround you on my kayak, so, do I take the "peaceful" out of YOUR kayaking?. bs!

Chris Wilhite - 11 years ago

Yup. While we're out their in creeks / streams / rivers peacefully kayaking, you're coming blaring around the bend...taking the "peaceful" out of our kayaking.

bigburpboy - 11 years ago

I am such a racist!? whoa! excuse me, but its just a question. Shame on u! señor, i guess u can't take a joke. btw, nice motor kayak.

Claudio Hernandez - 11 years ago

Another pessimist/negative fellow?, the US economic crisis it's passing by, you are doing great, don't worry, soon USA will be number one again, heads up!. Don't think in terms of "took out", but in "ADD up", I ADDed to my kayak, exciting, speed, emotion, unlimited exploring, etc. If I want "peaceful", I just turn off the motor and use my paddle, what more can I ask?, I have it all in one piece of plastic!.

Claudio Hernandez - 11 years ago

The always pessimist/negative fellow. Turns out that runing, it's very very dificult to roll over, because of the down force, but if you roll over all you need to do is to dry/clean the spark plug, try to start it without the spark plug a few times, and you are back again, this two strokes outboards are unbeatable!.

Claudio Hernandez - 11 years ago

Oh you are so racist!, I live in mexico you idiot!, I've never been in the states. I made this video in english 'cause there are a lot of -good- americans who wanted to know how I did it. Shame on you.

MrJohnjohn04 - 11 years ago

just took the "peaceful" out of kayaking

Rafael Malonjao - 11 years ago

that's a expensive gamble, all it takes is one roll over and those out boards are toast.

bigburpboy - 11 years ago

is that how they crossed the border?

theseakayaker - 11 years ago

Depends on how much Red Bull you've had before the paddle.

Claudio Hernandez - 11 years ago

LOL, without getting tired?

theseakayaker - 11 years ago

LOL. Come take a class with me and I will teach you how to paddle that fast!

Hola, tarde pero seguro, ya subí un vídeo de como monté el soporte del motor, se llama Jack Nuts & Kayaks, si gustas verlo.

Yes, I noticed that, after shooting this video, I made a custom Hydrofoil, we got 30% more speed, just by reducing drag.

Alisha - 11 years ago

You need to tilt it..

Claudio Hernandez - 11 years ago

Gracias a ti por comentarlo y agradecerlo, me llevó mucho tiempo descubrir como hacerlo y finalmente pensé que debía hacer un vídeo para compartirlo y otros pudieran beneficiarse. Un saludo!

The Dubya - 11 years ago

If you can get the boat to plane out, (add weight to front, or trim it down) you can make it go faster. w/ your current status... creating too much drag

lito duro30 - 11 years ago

Hola. Me llamo jairo de costa rrica y me encanto la idea de adactar un motor al kayak gracias por dame buena idea para yo hacerlo al mio nada mas que es diferente modelo...

Juan Carlos Fleitas - 11 years ago

Claudio Hernandez - 11 years ago

Perdón por no responder antes, he tenido mucho trabajo, lo fijé con jacknuts, hay una forma de instalar jacknuts sin herramienta y es un método de fijación super barato y es lo más fuerte que hay.

Fishin' Ain't Easy - 12 years ago

Dionisio Herrera - 12 years ago

Me gusto como lo montaste pero en el video no se ve bien, si la estructura no es muy incomoda podria ser permanente y me parece q es mejopr ponerlo en la popa q de costado. He visto sistemas de costado y es muy sencillo pero el tuyo se ve muy bien

Claudio Hernandez - 12 years ago

Que kayak es?. El soporte lo piensas dejar permanente o de quitar y poner cuando lo necesites?, lo piensas poner en la popa o al costado?.

Dionisio Herrera - 12 years ago

Felicidades , como lo fijaste al kayak , pedi un motor electrico de 45 lbs de empuje y estoy pensandcomo fijarlo atras asi como lo hiciste tu. Te agradecere tus tips

Claudio Hernandez - 12 years ago

Muchas gracias!, si quedó padre el video y mejor aún los kayaks. Un saludo hasta la Argentina.

Mati Cumbia - 12 years ago

Hola Adrian, gracias por tu comentario, fuiste de gran aporte para la realización de este proyecto, la flota sigue creciendo, que siga así!.

ravigniani - 12 years ago

Quedo muy bien Claudio!, las prestaciones son correctas para la eslora y potencia y visualmente quedo bien resuelto. Me pone muy contento ver tus power en el agua y funcionando OK. Te mando un abrazo y felicitaciones!
