K2F 50lb Kayak Trolling Motor with Fixed Motor Bar

Introducing the K2F 50lb Kayak Trolling Motor and Fixed Motor Bar by Kayaks2Fish! This electric trolling motor enhances your kayaking experience, providing effortless propulsion on the water. With its powerful 50 lb thrust and easy-to-use controls, this motor will take your fishing adventures to new heights.

Crafted from a robust and corrosion-resistant aluminium alloy main shaft, this kayak trolling motor is built to withstand saltwater conditions. The adjustable draw allows for customisable depth underwater while ensuring optimal performance. The extendable tiller arm provides convenient steering control, maximising manoeuvrability as you navigate different waters.

Equipped with five forward speeds and two reverse speeds, along with a tilt/telescoping handle that extends up to six feet for ultimate control - this trolling motor offers versatility like no other. LED lights in the dashboard display battery and speed level status during operation so that you can always stay informed.

The complete kit includes all necessary screws, nuts, and bolts – everything needed for quick installation behind the seat of our recommended Eagle Merlin or Triton Tandem kayaks (3.7m). Please note that you must check your state/local marine licence requirements before purchasing or operating a canoe/kayak with a trolling motor.

Whether cruising across calm lakes or exploring winding rivers filled with obstacles such as weeds or rocks – rest assured knowing our weed-less three-blade propeller runs quietly yet efficiently without getting tangled up quickly!

Which motor should I get for my kayak?
When choosing a motor there are a few things you need to think about:
Budget - Budget is the biggest factor when choosing a motor as you need to think about the battery and mounting kit as well.
Battery charge - The bigger motors require more charge and therefore need a larger battery.
Size of your kayak - The smaller the kayak the less poundage you will need in your motor.
Please check the below chart for the motor recommendations per kayak.

Which battery do you recommend?
Which battery we would recommend would depend on the size of your motor. As the motor gets bigger you will need a bigger battery. Please check the chart below for average run times for the batteries.

Do I need a license?
Please check local laws for up to date advice for running a motor on a kayak.

Do I need to do any maintenance on my motor?
Yes, maintenance is required after every use to keep the motor running well & eligible for warranty claim.

• At the end of the day, wipe the motor down with a damp cloth.
• Never leave the motor submerged in salt water when the boat is moored. Always check the propeller is clear of line or weed. Clean behind the propeller after every use. Check for fishing lines, weeds, or other debris. Any debris wrapped around the prop will cause a loss in power.
• Regularly check all nuts, bolts, and screws and physically check all hardware is tightened securely.
• Lubricate all moving parts.
• Clean terminal connections regularly and check for frayed wires, loose or corroded connections. Clean terminals with a wire brush and replace any frayed wires.
• Lack of maintenance may cause excessive heat and loss of power.
• Be sure to choose a well ventilated and dry location when storing the motor for long periods.
• Never leave the motor outside, as this may cause damage to the magnet of the driving unit.
• Please ensure that the motor is thoroughly rise with fresh water after every use in salt water. Only rise the areas that have been in contact with salt water, avoid getting the top cover wet as this may damage the circuitry inside and is not covered under warranty. Please note even a small amount of salt left will rust the motor over time and is also not covered under warranty.
• We recommend using a product such as Salt Attack to ensure that no rust forms.

What is the OWE pressure?
The OWE pressure is the current battery charge level.

Which motor mount should I use?
For our Kayaks2Fish kayaks we have a range of motor mounting accessories.
Found here: https://k2f.com.au/s/ckQ

Can I use a motor with a set of outriggers?
You are able to mount a motor onto a set of outriggers using a motor mounting block.
The motor mounting block is installed by bolting a nylon block directly onto the outrigger bars giving a transom mount motor somewhere to grab onto.
They can be found here: https://k2f.com.au/s/ckV

How fast do they go?
Typically a trolling motor will get you around 4-5 km/h.
This of course will depend on the poundage of motor and water conditions.

How do I mount a trolling motor onto a motor bar?
We have a great video on how to install the motor bar here: https://k2f.com.au/s/ckS

Can the motor go forward and backwards?
Yes, our trolling motors have both forward and reverse gears.

Can the battery be charged by a solar panel?
It does depend on the battery but with a special charge controller it can be charged with a solar panel.

Can I mount the motor where the pedals go?
For the NextGen 11 and 11.5 We have designed a motor mount to fit in and replace the pedals.
It can be found here: https://k2f.com.au/s/ckT

Can I mount two motors, one on each side of the kayak?
While it is possible to run two motors at once we do not recommend this as it is no more efficient and a DIY bracket would need to be made.

Can the hand controller be extended?
In the Haswing and K2F models the tiller can be extended.

Can I power the motor and fish finder from the same battery?
You can power a motor and a fish finder from the same battery; you will just need to install a regulator between the battery and fish finder.
