DIY Kayak Outriggers (made this because I couldn't go fishing lol)

UPDATE: do NOT use the metal straps, they broke on my last trip.

It's more stable if the automatic ically touch the water

You could have done a better job because the floats are supposed to touch the water without the kyak moving from side to side

Dude use pvc and paint it

try electrical pvc. it is thicker

You can put another PVC pipe inside those pipes – to prevent them from bending (in case that is really a problem).

What did you use in place of the metal straps ?

use a 45 degree angle on the PVC pipe so that it brings the floats down towards the water. This will allow you to shorten the width with these which will get rid of all of that extra play/flexing at @8:51

That is a good video. The steel square is for Road sign post. so you can put several signs or one and it the holes make it easier to break when a car hits it.

This video is shit worthless without actually testing the stability, which you did not come close to doing.

@9:12…..you should call her

Great video I’m very interested in what kind of seat you put on your kayak my dad needs a seat like that for his thanks

BEST DIY! Loved this

nice vid! any issues using your oar?

I also build this. maybe the boat won't tip, but it's just too unstable, when standing up, it's so unstable that I feel I can go overboard. nice built better than mine.

And where can i find me one

What do you call that metal bar

GREAT IDEAS. But Too much flex in real world situation. Will snap. Need brace. Angle brace. And thick walls. Too wide.

Now sit down and paddle …bet ya cant

Heat the pvc with a heat gun close to the metal tubing to drop the floats more in the water.

What type of fasteners you use to hold the straps to the kayak? Nice set up. I will try to duplicate for my Eagle Talon. Thanks

靠北一堆

My favorite part starts around the 8 minute mark

Great work dude, I think you should double the floating device volume, and put it nearer the flotatiokn line congrats

what size fenders did u use and are they solid or inflatable

New show. Horders on kayaks. Lets see how much shit they need to bring.
