Since ordering the Elite I've been going over ways in my mind of setting it up with an easy to use electric motor setup, and I think I have come up with a solution.
I'm wondering how well it would work if I rigged an engine mount Minn Kota to the Elite. If I had a light engineering place make up a bracket which would attach to the mounting points on either side going around and under the yak, I think it would be perfect.
This setup would not detract from the stability or balance of the boat being below the waterline and perfectly centered. It also keeps everything above the waterline clear and uncluttered.
The only thing I am not sure of is the steering as this motor mount would be fixed below the boat, which brings me to my question.
Do you guys reckon the rudder would be sufficient to steer the kayak?
Thanks guys.
