Good to know

  • Battery is not included: the 62lb needs a 12V deep cycle battery, the 86lb needs a 24V system.
  • A 40″ shaft is long for most kayaks, so measure your mount height before choosing it.

KayakDIY take: A long shaft suits bigger boats; most kayak setups use something shorter. For more options, see my best kayak motors guide.
