Anyone have a Watersnake trolling motor?

[john from md]

I am working up a plan to put a trolling motor on my small yak. I am not going to make it sophisticated like my other, I just want a small motor to side mount. I have MK's and they are heavy, even the Endura 30 which is 18 pounds. The watersnake is somewhere around 7 which will work out much better. I plan to hook up a PWM so I can use a 35AH battery.

With arthritis kicking the snot out of me, this will give me the ability to go out on days when I may have to paddle back against the wind. Another upside is I won't have to lug my heavy yak up that dang hill at Home Port Farms anymore.

TIA

Thanks Rob, I did a lot of google searches and found a few folks who did the same thing as MOC. For some reason, I didn't think to search this forum directly.

I already put together all the parts for the mount and PWM, so last night I pulled the plug and ordered the motor. Since it isn't covered under Amazon's prime shipping, I won't get it for a week or two.
I'll report again after I get on the water.

Too bad I just say this thread. I have a new extra water snake that I am not using. I could have sold it to you for a good price. Next time.....

No problem. I saw your white perch Memorial Day video. Dang, you were cleaning up!
