Good to know
- Pick shaft length based on how high your mount sits above the water: the prop needs to stay submerged when the boat rocks, and a kayak motor mount usually sits low.
- With a max draw of up to 50 amps, size your 12V battery and wiring for that load, and keep this motor in freshwater since that is what it is rated for.
KayakDIY take: A 12V trolling motor is a common way to add power to a kayak, but the mount and battery setup matter as much as the motor. For more options, see my best kayak motors guide.
