      EPDL is definitely more of a niche kayak. Hasn't done well in this area but that may change in the future. People here still enjoy the Autopilots

    I'm wanting to power my rs117 with a trolling motor in the back, the motors have that bar that extends directly behind the seat, is there a practical setup for using that comfortably and not having your gear in the way?

    • @thebeardedpaddler
      @thebeardedpaddler  8 днів тому

      It will be aftermarket and DIY mainly. The SS series were really setup for motorizing more than the RS. I've seen people do it though. The lighter the motor the better.

    Great video! I enjoy paddling, but the wind where I live can make trying to both fish and paddle miserable. I spend more time positioning the boat than actually fish. Even for just paddling having a rudder with foot controlled steering helps immensely; keeps the boat from spinning as much and allows for some hands-free drifting.

    • @thebeardedpaddler
      @thebeardedpaddler  9 днів тому +1

      Very good points. It's what got me into motorizing honestly. Still value in pedal drives, but the motor Is way more efficient

    Also with a motorized kayak you may have to pay taxes on the price of it to get it tagged.

    • @thebeardedpaddler
      @thebeardedpaddler  9 днів тому +1

      Most states won't have taxes unless the kayak value is over a certain amount. It will assess as a $0

    Technically Power, Pedal and Paddle for me. I mainly use power, when/if it fails i have my pedal drive onboard (its happened) and if that fails my pedals have a spot on the kayak thats out of the way. Beyond that, means my kayak is at the bottom of the lake and im swimming.
