Poor Mans Kayak Bow Mount (Sneak Peek) - Florida Fish Hunter
I've been working on this bow mount idea for my Native Slayer Propel 10 for a while now and although it seems like a simple enough idea, there were quite a few hurdles to overcome to get this all to function correctly as shown. When I do go electric I normally use the trolling motor in the transom as I prefer to have my pedal drive with me at all times. So it's not like I need a trolling motor in the front but that I always felt like I would like to try that option. Buying an expensive bow mounted trolling motor was not an option for me at this time as I prefer to use what I already have available and see if I can come up with something that could actually work. With that said, all that is left to do now is to try this setup out on the water and see if it will work for me and eventually pick between titlting it back or just raising it up...

Any update on this? I made a custom pedal drive slot trolling motor setup with a watersnake t24 and autoboat system on my slayer 10. Im disappointed with the autoboat so now im looking at possibly a bow mounted ipilot.

Hi Ralph! No updates as there did not seem to be any real interest in this so I moved on to other projects. I would not think that you would want to use the autoboat setup there in your drive slot. A while back I contemplated on getting an autoboat but decided that for the cost it was not worth it to me. Can you say what was your disappointment with the autoboat system?

@@FFHTV Why would you not want to use it in the drive slot? The reason I fell on your video is because I'm now contemplating a bow mounted Minn kota with advanced gps. But it would have to be a completely custom setup, such as my drive setup. I designed and 3d printed a new drive well cover. I mainly got it for the gps anchor function and it just doesn't keep me in place well. It was okay for a bit but now that I have Livescope, I can't use it properly since I keep getting turned around 180 degrees before the autoboat turns me back around. It works well with moderate wind. Anything less and keeping position sucks.
