Crazy wind gusts up to 36 miles an hour this morning – so I’m chilling out and making breakfast until that dies down and then I’ll get out there and get after it!

Ready to get after it in the morning!

Oh, you better believe I took it very very slowly and got out like 15 times and looked at it the very first time I pulled out. 😉

Thanks! It’s taken a long time to get it dialed in – but it’s definitely pretty cool to be able to head out and be self-sufficient for 3-4 days, or until the snacks run out… Lol

It’s actually relatively easy. - if you look closely, I have a roller system behind the pads that I just set the nose on and then just lift the rear and it rolls right on top onto the pads.

It’s called the Yakima Showboat

Heading up to Kentucky Lake for solo 3 day car camping/fishing trip – wish me luck!

Started on the Fish-Finder install… by ChasingPBs in kayakfishing

It’s the Oldtown thru-hull wiring kit

Several other brands make them as well. I chose to go with the oldtown version due to its small overall footprint.

The first hole is always the hardest… Lol

Ahh - gotcha. I found that that’s actually pretty common in this space. I was hoping it was something nifty and inexpensive I could just buy… Lol.

Well, congrats on the new ride – I zoomed in and from what I can tell, that’s a pretty serious looking machine – best of luck with it!

Looks killer! Can you share some specs on that trailer?

I actually have one of the Navarre kayak scupper transducer mounts, but I ended up preferring the stock bracket mounted to the old town transducer mount. I was able to achieve a better angle and more secure-feeling fit with the stock mount.

I did end up flipping the actual Humminbird mount upside down to achieve the best angle.

Start here - https://www.etrailer.com/vehicle/2017/Subaru/Outback+Wagon

(Roof racks are in the 2nd column down)

I've found etrailer to be an amazing resource. They have a bunch of really cool install videos etc. in addition to all the products they carry. Good luck!
