  • Shaft: S, 62.5 cm (for 15″ transom)

Good to know

  • Pick a battery option unless you already own a compatible Travel battery; the motor-only version has none.
  • Check your transom height, since the S shaft suits a 15″ transom.

KayakDIY take: A light electric outboard like this is closer to kayak-sized than the bigger Torqeedos. For more options, see my best kayak motors guide.
