Field & Stream Eagle Talon 12 Transformation

If you have any questions feel free to contact me

Got the yakattack 12" track on with the lowrance elite-3x
i added a scotty arm extender to the front rod holder to reach back a lil more.
The day i got my Kayak. Winter of 2015.

I Installed the fish finder in a different location

Added a paddle clip holder
Added a few 8" scotty tracks to the center consul
This was all done at a buddy's house on his eagle talon 12.  We just did a mock up mounting on his kayak. Once i got home i installed it into my kayak
Built a hatch for the back.
Made some Rod leashes and tool leashes out of old cell phone car chargers. Made 3 as of now. Need a few more car chargers.
Got a waterproof case, water proof wire clip, connectors, fuse block and my battery box is all done
I added a few pad eyes to the empty spots in the back
Added the pad eye on the center console
Was able to find a cooler that fit just perfect. Got a container of bungees and drilled a few holes in the cooler. Can be used to keep food and drinks cold or keep the fish you wanna keep cold or put your fishing gear in it.
​Got a 3600 series Waterproof box and mounted it to the top of the cooler. Had to adjust it a little so the handle of the cooler is still functional. Put rubber washers in the middle to keep any water getting into the cooler or the Plano box
Did the rod leash upgrade. I went with the ones with the clamps. They already had holes to string the bungee in. After tying the bungee I added shrink tube .
Easy storage for lures, weights and what not... I also have a waterproof case to hold my cell phone, ID and car keys.
DIY cart.... i have seen other online so i went and built my own cart.

 
Made a tray out of plexi to set my battery box on.
Put 2 strips of Industrial velcro on the tray then 3 strips on the battery box and stuck it to the tray. Then I put the box/tray onto the kayak.
Put Rod holders onto my cooler.
Added another pad eye up front so I could add a rod leash.
Added thick grip on the inside so the tackle boxes don't make so much noise
Got my wire plugs and finished installing the wires for my fish finder
I got the Feelfree Kingfisher Kayak seat.  This thing is a beast.
I have seen a lot of people install an anchor lines. so i said what the heck and installed one
