The Watersnake Asp T24 with Kayak Bracket is a comprehensive propulsion bundle specifically designed to solve the common challenge of mounting an electric motor to a kayak or canoe. By pairing the ultra-lightweight T24 motor with a patented, purpose-built mounting system, this package provides a professional alternative to DIY motor mounts.
Key Technical Features
-
Patented Universal Kayak Bracket: Features a unique design that allows for infinite angle adjustment. This ensures the motor shaft remains vertical regardless of the hull's shape or the mounting position on the kayak.
-
Ultra-Lightweight Construction: The motor itself weighs only 2.2kg, ensuring it doesn't significantly alter the kayak's centre of gravity or compromise its buoyancy and stability.
-
Saltwater Resistance: Fully rated for marine use, featuring a stainless steel propeller shaft, an alloy motor shaft, and a sacrificial zinc anode to prevent corrosion.
-
Simple Speed Control: Features a straightforward High/Low speed switch for both forward and reverse, making it easy to manage while your focus is on fishing or navigating.
-
Stow-Away Tiller: The hand tiller handle is retractable, allowing you to extend it for comfortable steering while seated and stow it away to keep the cockpit clear when paddling or casting.
-
Impact Protection: The bracket includes an anti-impact clip system that allows the motor to kick up if it strikes a submerged rock or log, preventing damage to the motor and the kayak hull.
