Good to know

  • Measure your bow height and freeboard before choosing a shaft, since it comes in five lengths from 48 to 110 in.
  • If you want built-in sonar, pick a black 48, 63 or 75 in model, as those are the versions listed with the GT56UHD-TR transducer.

KayakDIY take: This is a big-boat bow mount, not a kayak motor, so I’d only look at it if you also run a skiff or bass boat. For kayak-sized options, see my best kayak motors guide.
