The adapter clips into the Bonafide Dry Pod opening and comes with the original Dry Pod, so you keep a storage spot while the motor hangs below the hull. Only a backing plate sits inside the pod, and a motor shield guards against light bumps. Choose the K-1 or J-2 version to match your motor.

Good to know

  • Pick the version that matches your motor (K-1 or J-2), since they are listed as separate options.
  • With a motor on the pod there is no room left for a pod-mounted transducer, so plan your fish finder mount somewhere else.

KayakDIY take: I like any motor mount that doesn’t need a drill, and using the existing pod opening is a smart way to do it. For more options, see my best kayak motors guide.
