Can you share measurements or detailed photos of the block and bracket you crafted? You did an amazing job. Thank you for sharing.

Awesome idea and execution, thanks for sharing. Perhaps a mount could be carved/drilled out of a big block of PVC wood/HDPE? I'd imagine it would be able to handle the thrust...

I just about wore out my Newport Vessel 36.....So I altered a second one. Because of the plastic moulded bracket on these motors, I didn't think the motor bracket that I made for my pescadore pilot would be interchangeable. However the newer motor required only minor fitting . I was surprised. So, the dimensions of this bracket may actually be useful to some of you.

I’ve got the same kayak and really like the bracket you’ve made for a trolling motor, is there a chance to buy one from you? Or some pictures, or measurements how to make one? Thanks!
@macmcdowell6161
@macmcdowell6161 5 лет назад
To tell the truth.....I spent an unreasonable amount of machining time on this. And....it only works with a Newport-Vessel trolling motor. But...I'll help you any way I can.

Quick question...noticed its machined out of aluminum but that stiffener piece that the wick side passes though...is it tapped and set screwed on the bottom? More photos of mount please....thanks!!!
@macmcdowell6161
@macmcdowell6161 4 года назад
Yes, it's screwed to the bottom. It's shaped to sit on the bracket like the pilot drive.

Mac.. Nice work. Does your locale require any registration for a motorized boat? Or do you simulate paddling when the local constable comes by lookiing to "tax" you by giving a ticket? (In California, I got a $400+ ticket a few years back at Lake Almanor for putting a small trolling motor on my Costco Inflatable rubber boat.)

Ohio requires a registration for motor power.

I like what you did. When you slide the prop back up through the opening, is there a trick to lining up the blade so it’s vertical and will easily slide up through the opening?
@macmcdowell6161
@macmcdowell6161 4 года назад
I have an index mark on the pedals .
@kenfinzer4850
@kenfinzer4850 4 года назад
Mac McDowell I understand that’s how you line up the prop when using the pedals but how do you line up the prop when using the trolling motor?

Which trolling motor did you use to modify? The bracket you attached to motor is aluminum? Could you please give some insight on measurements of bracket?
@macmcdowell6161
@macmcdowell6161 4 года назад
It's a Newport Vessel 36# I can gather some general dimensions but I'm not sure the figures would apply to any other model of motor.

Wait what size is the trolling motor I have the 55lb new port saltwater series and it doesn’t fit in the hole

I believe the 46lb Newport Vessel is the largest that will fit the hole.

Do you steer with the factory rudder or do you turn the trolling motor? Thank you.
@macmcdowell6161
@macmcdowell6161 4 года назад
I use the factory rudder but the trolling motor will also turn. I need more practice in coordinating the two.

Depends on your battery. The Battleborn 100ah will last 24 hrs with the speed dial on 1/2 throttle.

@gregmelius3733 3 года назад
so do you just sit on the battery box?
@macmcdowell6161
@macmcdowell6161 3 года назад
No. Because the seat doesn't need to correlate to the pedals, I slide the seat all the way forward. The Battery box fits behind the seat.
