Best mount set up I’ve seen yet! Looking to do this on my 2019 Outback. Might do mine outboard on the cables but wondering about raising/lowering for surf launches?

I love the idea of foot controlled steering. I am curious if you have considered the toe control versions of the foot brace vs the traditional sliding track. Are there disadvantages that I am not foreseeing? I would love to avoid the extra track that would extend beyond the plate on my PA14

Bruce Kellman The gas pedal style rudder steering you are referring to has less travel. As such, it may result in a diminished turning radius compared to the sliding tracks shown in this video.

Can you share with me and everyone the part list please as I'm budgeting to buy the parts.

Is this build applicable to the torqeedo 1003 if I strip the 1003 down to the pole like the 403?

Great install...... and interesting..... how is this an advantage over the evolve 2? Other than having motor and pedal drive. Why would having both be an advantage? Can you give me the finer points, much appreciated.

Fat Matt Outdoors The Evolve on the stern is a clean install with the same steering hardware as long as you can get the propeller deep enough.

Probably a dumb question... But I am planning on purchasing a PA14 360 and a torqueedo with foot steering. Do you just keep your rudder pulled up when using the motor? Do you pull up the drive fins as well?

@TheLittleStuff 2 жыл бұрын

The motor will overpower both, so doing that is only a matter of small gains in efficiency. You don’t have to, but I only let my rudder down when I was only using the Mirage Drive.

How do you clear weeds from the Torqeedo motor while you are on the water?

Marc and Judy Levitt You can throw it in reverse to remove some. Innovative Sportsman manufactures a Grass Blaster for their rock guard. Look it up.

Is there anyone in the Pacific Northwest that can install a Torqeedo on my 2020 PA14? Is the Torqeedo made for salt water?

great job you have more money invested in a kayak than i do my bass boat and i run 75mph

I cannot use a bass boat in the area that I fish. I would end up just using the trolling motor and I have no where to store a bass boat. This is the perfect mod for me.
