I dont remember where it was or if it was even a CA kayak, but I remember seeing someone with a pic of their yak with a trolling motor, and they had their registration numbers on a piece of wood that was attached to their crate behind their seat.

I would check with the harbor police and see if something like that is allowed.

So a kayak with an electric motor like a Torque or eVolve requires a CF number? Do you need a different license if you go to another state? What if you travel all over the country?

Amazing! I know a couple of guys who are breaking the law every time they hit the water.

Pretty soon they will start regulating toilet paper. Very disappointing.

Yes Torque or eVolve require CF. Laws are different in every state of course. I'm not familiar with registration requirements in other states but that is how it is in CA.

Yeah, I see the same thing. Its obviously not enforced all that much. But for a few bucks to get the CF I would rather be in compliance than not. Oh, once you do have a CF you have to follow a whole bunch of other rules now just like any other motor boat. I like a cold beer when kayak fishing every now and then, that would be a big no-no with the CF.

Anyway I agree its ridiculous regulation and they should consider electric motors up to a certain HP rating to be the same as human powered non-vessel.
