This was a john boat trailer I bought from Academy and modified it to launch my kayak. Moved a few things around and installed PVC runners to fit the channels on the bottom. Haven't pulled it yet but I think it will do the job.
Thanks Brother, I like it. It's sort of a project for me. I've still got a a little tweaking to do, but it's coming along. One cool feature is the steering. It's hands free. I get the craziest looks when I'm cutting in an out of structure while I'm trying on a bait.
My best Bud made his steering using the controller button from a car's power window.
"Up" is left and "Down" is right. He has a rheostat switch for the speed. He went and mounted it on a hardened plastic electronics box. It is all about the size of 3 decks of cards.
Yep there is some tricky stuff out there for sure. What I will do eventually is remove the five position selector switch and go PWM. Then I can dial in whatever speed I want. The five position switch is a power consumer. Maybe this time home I'll change my battery for a AGM 35 AH and mount it inside the front hatch. This will reduce my weight by 20 lbs. to go with that I'll mount a solar panel on my cooler top and trickle charge as I go. Once done ill wire everything inside the skin then it will be wire free on the deck. Makes for a clean rig. Like I said it's just a project. One of many I got going on round here.
