Is there a forum on the web specifically for electric kayaks?

[john from md]

I have done numerous searches for information relating to adding a motor to a kayak and it would be much easier if there is a forum or forums dedicated to the subject.

Anyone know of one?

Sorry, no. But a bunch of guys on snaggedline have motors. Can't hurt to post here.

Are you adding the motor to your trident?

Of all the forums I have visited this one does seem to have more anglers with experience with adding a trolling motor to their kayak. As another resource "BassYaks" does have a facebook page where you could post a question.

I am adding a motor to the Trident. I am forced to because of arthritis but I didn't want to broke so I went with a Island Hoppers mount and a Minn Kota Endura Max 40 motor. I have a rudder on the Trident so I will have a better turning radius than the guys that don't have one.

LOL. I was going to comment that this is great American inginuity. After thinking about it, I figure that these days, he is probably Chinese.

Thanks Turtle. I think I have read most of the posts from Steve K, the owner of Bassyaks. He usually turns every conversation into an ad for Bassyaks. He probably would make a good polititian. LOL

Yeah ....... Steve has a habit of posting on different forums as a user praising his product and downing other products. He has a good product but it is one of the first and not really updated as far as I can see. Personally I like the Torqeedo or island hoppers .......... Plenty of people here to help with both dyi and store bought

Pm kitkatyaker...she had someone help with her's and it seems to work g reat

[Memory Maker]

Yeah ...... That was Russ ....... I helped a little too I think ...... That was on a Torqeedo

[john from md]

Thanks for the info. I have read most of the stuff in snaggedline and it has been helpful. I was just trying to find another place to search. I think I will just throw out some questions in the rigging forum.

Chad at HOOK1 has a 20% black friday sale, and that includes Torqeedo. They are never discounted so that is a great deal.

I have done a lot of research on mounting a motor to a yak. Never found one definitive source, but plenty of you tube videos, bassyaks, and info on texans fisherman. I am in the process of rigging my jackson cuda with a trolling motor. I just finished fabricating the motor mount and the control box before the cold weather hit. I think I will start a thread in rigging to show my progress. I have all of the components now, the last one came today, waterproof thru hull cable glands.
