Welcome, Glad to see a west coaster here. I have recently graduated from my kayak to a 1436 Tracker Jon Boat. I still pretty much stick to the Bay but Im having a blast for sure. Have you been out lately? I hit San Diego Bay Saturday and pulled on some shour Halibuts, Sand Bass and Spotties...

Thanks for the idea. That might just work out perfectly. SInce I remove the trolling motor after every trip this box idea would be sweet.

Oh I see, very cool. Thanks man. Looks water tight to me.

Hey thanks! I appreciate that.

Great ideas guys. Thanks so much. Sounds like metal would be my worst enemy, I like that tupperware idea.

I want my two batteries in the front of my 14ft Jon to balance weight. I sit in the back and have a transom trolling motor. I saw a member post a pic of his Jon. He had mounted a positive and negative post to a cutting board on the back bench, where I assumed he would attach his T.M. The posts...

Roasty Great Job there. I have the same boat with trolling motor on transom and 2 batteries. What kind of wire and connections did you use to lengthen the battery cable? I want my batteries up in the bow if possible. Any tips?

Hey guys. Thank you all for your tips. Especially the toxic fumes. Good info

I have a Tracker Topper 1436 and I want to build my own trailer from scratch. It must be Galvinized. Thats about my only requirement. Im checking with local California DMV for how to register a home made "Utility" Trailer. Anyone got any tips on the construction or or registration process. Thanks

Yeah, I may start bringing by Kayak Dolly to help me get the boat up the ramp to flat ground for an easier load in. It is rated for 300 pounds. Thanks

Hey there Drum, That sounds like it will work just fine. The things we have to do huh... Do you have any plans to get a trailer? That would solve so many of my problems. I can't add anymore weight to the boat as I have to lift it in and out of my truck. So I spend a lot of time at the launch...

Thanks . I was tempted to use the trolling motor mount idea myself. I have a transom mount Tm I hope to move to the bow and get a little Outboard. Thanks for looking and good luck.

Finished product.

Awesome Website guys! Keep it up. I racked my brain trying to come up with an idea to mount my transducer. Its on a Topper 1436 that I usually toss in my truck, and drag around at launch ramps. So I knew I couldnt simply mount the transducer to the transom. It had to be removable for transport...

Tested out the new Lowrance and took the 1436 to the open ocean. Great Bass'n. No Halibut. Going back soon. Didnt see any tins out there. Does anybody fish these parts in a tin?

Gotcha,, Thanks man. Good luck with the build.

i'd love to see more pics of the Harbor Freight trailer with the 1436 on it. I still throw my Topper 1436 in my truck bed. But this is getting old. How do you all like the HF Trailer? I will launch in the salt sometimes so I may have to go Galvinized. But the HF price is nice. I love my 1436...

Awesome. I bet the Gregor does pretty good in the chop. My flat Jon is a little rough. This weekend I finally ventured out about a mile from Dana Point Harbor where I launched. As I get more comfortable Im sure Ill go farther. Also need an outboard, still running on two deep cell batteries and...

I fish inside SD Bay near Shelter Island quite a bit. Im often tempted to head right out to open water, but being in a 1436 im a little nervous. I handle these waters in a Kayak with no problem. Just wondering if anyone has ventured out of the bays in a little tin. Any tips? Thanks
