hello, do you still have this setup ? I want to know if you were able to turn the motor 180deg to reverse with the swivel extension ? I know the motor tiller can be flipped backward for that..but can you flip it holding the swivel extension end !
Finally got my Suzuki 2.5, extension handle, motor bracket, boat registration etc.. Going to test it out next weekend. Are you able to start the motor, shift to neutral by hand from inside the kayak? I see some guys rig up ropes & use a thin fiberglass rod taped to the shifter to shift. Any advice will be appreciated.
Thank you for the video. I just ordered a Nucanoe Frontier 12 - ordering the Suzuki 2.5, not sure if I should get 15 or 20 inch shaft. I'm leaning to the 15 inch since I'm getting it for shallow areas I can't reach with my boat, but saw a video where someone recommended a 20 inch. Any recommendations on a seat? For now, I'm planning on sitting on my cooler- see how that works before I spend another $200 on seat. Any advice would be great, thanks again.
15' and you still have to bring it up or buy they bracket.. anti-ventilation plate should be two inches below transom line in the bottom.. and engine also gets to close to water as canoe lift on the bow.
I have a Frontier 12 on order & should be in by mid August. I've read in some reviews that the floor flexes when you stand on it, that its thin material, do you feel this is a concern?
It depends of your balance.. lol! I easily stand up @6 m/h, moreover a while back I climbed on my cooler a 50qts Coleman, that fits perfect, and I paddle it like if I was in a paddle board.. I'm now 45. 😁
Great vid. Hope to get a Suzuki on mine someday soon👍
Gerry Shappell Thanks man, I’ll post more videos of it this spring.
Very helpful. What is max mph without current? Is it hard to lift or start the motor from the seat? Does it have reverse?

underdog outdoors I used a pvc pole, with a loop on end to shift. Helps a lot.
Is that the unlimited?
I bought one for my dog
Enjoyed the video. Considering replicating this:). Does your motor have a 15 inch or a 20 inch shaft?
Wally Ziprik 15inch. It’s a great set up

underdog outdoors I’d go with 15 as well.

It’s not an issue. It is flimsy, however it doesn’t effect use.
Thanks brother!
What tiller extension and motor mount are you running or suggesting? Just got my Suzuki!!!
I forget, but I believe it’s a generic extended handle.
Where did your order the Suzuki motor? Thanks for the video.
Lam Nguyen bought used with 1hr.
Would you rate it with good stability? Could you stand up and run the motor? Thanks
daviszhd very good stability. Would not recommend standing and running motor, but I’m sure it’s possible with a battery up front.

What was top speed? I don’t hear well.
About 8mph
