Good to know
- Hobie 360 kayaks are excluded, so check your model before ordering.
- The motor takes the place of your pedal drive while it’s installed, so keep a paddle aboard as a backup.
KayakDIY take: Using the pedal well as a motor mount is a clean, no-drill way to go electric. For more options, see my best pedal kayaks guide.
