Minn Kota Trolling Motor - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

TCS · 10-16-2018, 11:03 AM

I've been waiting for the industry to develop a modern, simple, affordable trolling motor for hobie kayaks. The feedback I've heard on Torqueedo has been pretty mixed and seems to always include reports of on the water failures.

I've looked at Bixby Jet and it just seems primitive compared to the highly developed products for boats and skiffs. I'm wondering if anybody's considered converting something like this for a drive well mount:

Or...what else you've heard about a robust, modern, easy to use, affordable solution that might be coming down the pike.
