Island Hopper Transom Motors - Features
Transom Mount with Steering Handle Kits
Easy installation transom mount kits that are dependable and will fit new and older Ascend kayaks without rudders or foot pedals. Transom Mount trolling motors can be installed with a traditional surface set up and steering handle. Transom motor mount has been engineered to attach to a kayak with four stainless screws, eliminating any cut outs to the hull and any access hatches. No unsightly wires, just two flexible cables: one to the remote control box and one to the battery terminals. The motor and shaft are low in profile and compact in size making it easy for removal and storage.
Speeds: 5 Speeds Forward / 3 Speeds Reverse, Three Blade Propeller
The motors have a selectors switch, 1-5 speeds forward and 3 reverse. The three blade machete propeller is included with 55lbs trolling motors. The two blade machete propeller are included with 46lbs and 32lb trolling motors. The machete propeller allows for more torque to push the kayak forward in choppy waters or windy conditions, in addition, to cut through weeds and debris with minimal fouling.
Remote Controllers are IP54: Splash Proof, Not Submersible.
Lifting Feature Allows the Lifting of Motor
All transom mounts tend to trail lower than the keel of the kayak making it difficult to navigate in weeded waters, where sea grass, lily pods and debris is floating, as well as, running a ground, beach casting and landing and during portage. To resolve this issue we added a remote assist lifting feature to lift the motor while, sitting in your kayak and clear obstacles.
Telescoping Steering Handle
Our system allows the kayak to steer using the telescoping handle. The steering handle is adjustable to meet the different kayak lengths. No altering of cables or kayak. The transom mounts are made from durable polypropylene composite for marine application, aluminum and stainless steel hardware. Stainless steel fasteners are provided to prevent rust.
Fresh & Saltwater Trolling Motors, 32 lbs, 46 lbs, 55 lbs Thrust of Power Available
We offer several models for fresh water and salt water use, and the Remote Controllers are IP54 and Trolling Motors are IP64: Splash Proof, Not Submersible
