It has a 36 inch composite shaft and a lower unit that’s grit-blasted, aluminum coated and powder coated against corrosion. GPS powers Spot-Lock and AutoPilot, controlled from the Micro Remote or One-Boat Network app. It syncs with select Humminbird fish finders and stows with a lever and fall-away ramps.

Good to know

  • A 12V battery isn’t included, and with a 50 A max draw you’ll want one sized to match.
  • If you only fish fresh water, the standard Kayak Terrova has the same thrust and shaft length.

KayakDIY take: GPS Spot-Lock on a kayak is a big deal when wind and current keep pushing you off a spot. For more options, see my best kayak motors guide.
