I needed a simple, light and portable electric trolling motor set up for my Kayak. I don't need to use the trolling motor all the time and I wanted a low cost setup. I also wanted a side mount motor setup so I could use it along with my mirage peddle drive and quickly remove it. I found the WaterSnake trolling motor and a portable motor mount that installs in the kayak pole holders to work out great.

Love it. I have one in my Lightning Strike and its mounted using a custom plug that fits in the mirage drive mounts. 5-6 mph on flat water.
This Watersnake, light weight trolling motor makes a great peddle assistant on my Hobie PA12. It was originally side mounted, to reach the operating controls, but due to the kayaks wonky take offs, I remounted it to the center stern with addition of a homemade speed controller which works out great.
Nice! I was very happy with the balance and control I had with my installation. Thanks!
Great review, thanks for the battery info at the end.
Thanks for reaching out..
Really good video, you covered it nicely. I’ve been using a similar setup with a Hobie, using the Brocraft side mount with a Minn Kota 30 on it. Working very nicely so far with a 60ah Amped Outdoors battery. Bought a Watersnake 24 to test out as well.
Thanks for your post! It is a very light and handy trolling motor. Get 4.4 mph on my 14 Hornbeck pack canoe with the Watersnake 24lb thrust. About 9-mile range with 50 AH lithium at full power.
Good to know your results. Planning on getting a 50ah shortly.
I get about 3.5mph on 2015 Outback and 3mph on 2015 PA14. Both mirage well mounted, PWM controller and 50AH lithium battery.
Hi there. Thanks for the video. This makes me willing buying it. I was looking into the venom (34lbs).
Great. So far so good, I've been enjoying it.
@@thekayaklaunch I have a friend saying he needs two 50ah batteries to go out and come back. This info actually scared me 🤣
Nice, what battery are you using? nevermind just saw battery at the end.
In temptednto get this because of the provenand lightnwwoght but bot sure ifnits ebough power
Power is good but not great. If you want a light weight and easily transportable unit then this is probably going to work.
Those speed is probably with little current flow
Nice set up
What’s the registration cost
I think it was $50 for the year. Definitely the down side to electrifying your kayak
@@thekayaklaunch that’s not bad
I’m probably going to got do go with your set up with maybe 100 ah mini battery
Thanks for sharing
Howd you mount it m
Great question! I just happen to have a video on that :) ua-cam.com/video/Kx55lgNrfkI/v-deo.htmlsi=pJH2a-eF4ECYd0CO
What is the actual weight?
link to the motor is at the top of the description below the video. I believe it is just under 5lbs :)
Sounds and looks to be to shallow in the water
Yeah I could be an inch or so deeper but still works great
@@thekayaklaunch Appears to work pretty good though
Don't buy a water snake tried one, Minkota outperformed hands down hands down
Minn kota what? How much does it weigh? Much of the decision/discussion here is based on weight and portability.
