I would take a $150 one over having to mount one on the front or back . I like it in the pod . If it was on the bow , I would probably hit something with it going up and down the snake river . I had one at the stern . I use the rudder many times more than a motor . Having the motor in the pod works great for me . If I go somewhere that I wont be using the motor , noce and easy to pull the pod with the motor out of my lure and put another pod in and ready to go . I have been running my setup for 3 years now . Its perfect for me . and love having a motor on my lure . I wish O had added it back when I bought the lure in 2016 .
I feel like an affixed trolling motor with an relocated handle control and rudder will solve about 80 percent of the issues. Mount it to a bracket that lifts and all the problems will be solved tbh
I'm about to make the move to add a rear mounted, pretty expensive (perhaps 3hp equiv) motor to my kayak to get me to the fishing spot quicker. I have my pedal drive for fishing movement - I want a 6 to 7mph speed to get me there. I have considered getting one of the 70 or 80 pound used trolling motors. I'm curious as to the actual power levels of typical trolling motors rated by pounds of thrust. I see contradictory info and I also wonder if, say a 71 pound trolling motor can be run at full speed for an hour to get to the spot. Any ideas here? I'm looking at Newport Vessels and Torqeedo offerings - not cheap!
Those are the two I would recommend, as I know a lot of other kayak guys run them. However, I don’t much experience with them other than at trade shows. How long your motor runs full speed depends on your battery. It sounds like you’ll need a 100Ah battery to accomplish your goals but I also know the Torqeedo and Newport have specific batteries that run for long periods of time when you manage your speed. Sorry I couldn’t be much more help!
Why is the entire video devoted to looking at the narrator's face? Why do we need to see his face, at all? I would rather the entire video be devoted to looking at kayak motors with just his voice in the background.
I kayak and have been 10:22 for 30 plus years so I guess your answer does not apply to me,but in my thinking you don't kayak you motor. Boat! Old school teaches common sense!!
I have the best solution, stop being lazy and do human power. My pedal drive does everything a trolling motor does, almost as fast, never have to worry about batteries and charging, and "spot lock" is easy peasy. Seriously, unless you are fishing huge reservoirs and need to cover miles of distance there is no need for a wasting money on a trolling motor

It’s a great one to start with! Especially when fishing in a pond.

Thanks for the video, you helped me decide on a bow mount.
Glad I could help! I definitely prefer it!

Good video trolling motor boy
Thanks? Haha
Mount cheap motor on front with auto boat, skeg in back. Save yourself about $600.
That’s something I need to try!
Bow mount no good for the river,depends on your use
That’s true I don’t use my trolling motor on shallow rivers but I fish some deeper rivers that I use it on.
Been kayaking for a long time,still cannot reason puting a motor on a kayak.
It's super handy when fishing and for getting to spots faster than I can paddle but I understand it's not for everyone!
I assume you dont fish huge reservoirs. Making a 4mile run suck with pedal lol

Thanks for the input I’ll keep that in mind for the next video.
Wow... He does have a face that's perfect for radio.... !!! 😮
No one forced you to watch. Jesus lol 😂😂😂
0:47 it's his video he can do what he wants with it😊
Why would I wanna
Fish a large body of water in a kayak and take take unessary risks? To each his own I suppose!
Kayak fishing isn’t for everyone, I guess
I kayak and have been 10:22 for 30 plus years so I guess your answer does not apply to me,but in my thinking you don't kayak you motor. Boat! Old school teaches common sense!!
@@johnguth5376 Common sense would dictate fishing from a kayak is kayak fishing bud
