Detailed walkthrough of my Hobie Pro Angler 14 360 with a bow mount trolling motor. The motor I went with is a MotorGuide Xi3 Kayak Trolling Motor with 55 lbs thrust, a 36 inch shaft, and GPS Spotlock. The trolling motor is mounted to the kayak using the One Objective Bass Fishing mount.
The rigging was all done through www.kayakfishingsupplies.com
If you are interested in adding a trolling motor to your kayak or doing any custom rigging hit them up at their site or give them a call at (619) 866 - 6129.
Full details of my setup:
Hobie Pro Angler 14 with 360 Drive
MotorGuide Xi3 Kayak Trolling Motor with GPS Pinpoint
100ah Lithium Battery
Lowrence HDS7 Live
YakAttack through hull wiring kit
Anderson plugs

It would be super-helpful to provide a link to the parts, like the thru-hull fittings or the part you used to allow the cord connected to the trolling motor to swivel... or at least what they are called. Having a hard time tracking them down.

I stuck an Xi3 on the Bow of my Predator PDL last year. I am now addicted to that TM. However, mounting all that weight on the bow really affected the kayak's handling in adverse conditions. I am curious how the PA handles all that bow weight. Have you noticed changes in how it handles since the install?

Thanks for watching! I don’t leave any of that in my kayak while transporting it. I have kept my rods in the hull storage a couple of times though without issue. Just make sure you strap them in with the little bungy cord. You could probably get away with leaving the battery in as well if you wanted to. I’m just paranoid I guess haha

Hey do you take on water when your full speed on your trolling motor?

@applegatefishing 2 жыл бұрын

I'm running the same setup, as long as the wind is 15 mph or less I'll get a little bit of water at full speed that comes up through my scupper holes. That is the only water I have seen, if you're going full speed into white capping waves you'll definitely get wet. I'll eventually post up some new videos with the setup on my channel as a lot of people have questions about it.
