MeGolf92 it’s not very hard at all, but motorguide just released a new kayak Xi3 that is precut at 36”. If you want to wait a few month it should be available to buy this fall
Dave Coudert hey man, good question and thanks for watching! The motor itself weighs about 45 pounds. I’ve gone head on with some good rollers and haven’t had any issues. I did place the battery in the back of kayak to give it some counterweight to.
@@BassThumbsFishing love the videos. Thinking about switching to a bow mount motor. Do you think the 55 lb thrust is worth it? I was wondering if it would drain the battery faster? I'm running a 55 amp Lithium battery for my 30 lb thrust minn kota right now
Dave Coudert I’m thinking about going up to a 55lb thrust next year, but right now I run a 45lb thrust on a blue top optima marine battery and it’s runs me fine all day. It would have to be a trial and error thing on if it would drain the battery faster.
Thanks for the reply. I have a transom mount on my 12 NuCanoe. But I want bow mount so I can fish it like a bass boat. Thanks again.
I have a Minn Kota terrova mounted on my new canoe Frontier 12.I wish I would have went with the Motor Guide.
I’m about to but the entire unit. Did you cut the shaft? If so is it difficult to do?

Lets see it in action.😀👍
Gone fishing check out my other videos bro I have a lot of content on the motor
@@BassThumbsFishing cool! I will. Thanks!😀👍
Does this pinpoint work without a fish finder?
Yes the gps is in the motor 👊🏻
What is that motor weighing? Any issues with the front sitting low?
