What adjustments can be made with these motors? Can you change depth or tilt?

lobo estepario - 6 years ago

these motors are as noisy as a weedeater, but its posible to very easily and cheaply make a muffler, (silencer) for them, i made one and works very well. here is a good tutorial: https://youtu.be/GY7hzmHnef4

It's funny how every one of these videos has music over the actual test parts. Why is everyone so insecure about the sound of the motor?

Nice setup. Just maybe the noise next to my ear and if the motor can get rained on.

S. White - 6 years ago

swag boss gaming - 6 years ago

The motor can get rained on or washed with fresh water just don’t wash it when the engines hot

steven farrell - 6 years ago

You realize you're going to need a motor-boat license for a motor that powerful on a kayak? (Ie. anything over 34 lb of thrust...) Just letting you know before the coast-guard sees you! ;)

Keenan Grubbs - 6 years ago

Well in florida the maximum is 10hp without all license

Theseustoo Astyages - 6 years ago

Half your luck!

It's really just an unnecessary bureaucratic hassle... and I think Marine and Harbors think it's a waste of their time too.

Last year when I renewed my own exemption I was informed they were actually trying to get a blanket exemption for kayaks with trolling motors under the limit, but I haven't heard any updates on that yet.

Don't suppose I will 'til I renew it again next Feb...

Theseustoo Astyages - 6 years ago

Yes, in AUSTRALIA! That's where I am... and even if you put a trolling motor on it which is under the 34 lb (=150 Newtons of thrust) limit, you will need to apply to the Department of Marine and Harbors for an exemption from the usual motor-boat licensing requirements. This exemption is free but you must renew it each year.

Mind you, I'm in Sth Oz... maybe things are different in Tassie... but I doubt it. It'd be wise to check with the Department of Marine and Harbors if you have put a motor on your kayak, or if you are planning to do so.

GreenTrack Tasmania - 6 years ago

Theseustoo Astyages not in Australia!

Kuk Huve - 6 years ago

really? shit i dont think we have that in europe, or at least sweden

danhold1 Holdcroftski - 7 years ago

Rohan Cowley - 7 years ago

pretty crappy review when you wont let us hear it full throttle ya nob end

jo gguys - 7 years ago

Just wondering if you have run the motor without the rudder being used,if you have what was it like trying to steer.

Z71Ranger - 7 years ago

wow how fast?

Al M - 6 years ago

It's at his shoulders. A bit high to raise the hand to pull the rope while sitting, but doable. I am more concerned about stability with 12kg off the side, and motor head that high.

steven farrell - 6 years ago

where did you get the mount?

GreenTrack Tasmania - 6 years ago

Kuk Huve except, how the hell do you start and stop it when its way down the back?

Kuk Huve - 6 years ago

you need a better kayak. Flat bottom so it plans on the water would make a very big differnece.

Nice to see thouh. Hate all the electric shit and that engine was small enough to carry. Where did you get it from?

Shorten the rigg so the propeller is about 2 inches under the kayakbottom and put the engine at the back aned of the kayak. Then you could put the gas to the feet and steer with your paddle or a rodder.

Al M - 7 years ago

It's about a necessity, not a speed. Saves you paddling on a hot day. 10-12 km/hour is all you can get out of a setup like this. Riding faster and without outriggers will be a suicide. On my canoe with 2.5 HP motor (transom mounted) I can't open throttle more than 1/3, the bow is riding too high, with me seated midship, long tiller extension.
