Variable Speed Transom Trolling Motor for Hobie Power Pole Kayak - Steering Handle Navigation
Item # 84-8822-PP-VS-LITH
Includes variable speed trolling motor with customized mounting bracket with handheld remote controller with infinite forward and reverse, lithium-ion plug, auto reset fuse, motor lifting cord kit with cleat and all stainless steel hardware required for installation. We added a remote lifting feature to lift the motor while sitting in your kayak, which assists in clearing obstacles seen and unseen, at no additional costs. Since all transom mounts tend to trail lower than the keel of the kayak, in addition to the installation of the Power Pole, the lifting range is limited due the pole.  Zinc anode on salt water models only.   Power Pole not included.  Hobie Power Pole - Mount Plate Sold Separately.
Transom Trolling Motors Fit:
 Hobie® Mirage®  Outback, Hobie® Mirage® Pro Angler 12, 14 & 17T, Hobie® Mirage® Compass and Hobie® Mirage® Compass Duo Kayaks

Variable ​S​peed Kayak Motor Power-Pole ​I​nserts for Hobie PA

Variable Speed Trolling Motors are one of the most improved technology today. Boaters and kayakers are gravitating to trolling motors with variable speeds due to their many benefits.
Benefits of Variable Speed Include:
  • Infinite Speed Range of "0-100 speed forward and reverse", which allows for trolling at very low speeds for hours without affecting any speeds of the motor. 
  • A Micro Processer aka (Pulse Width Modulator) to increase battery range 3 to 4 times, allowing for hours of continuous trolling.
  • Controlled Amperage provides steady trolling in currents and wind while conserving battery at 95% efficiency.
  • Integrated Electronic Board System senses over and undercharge of voltage, eliminates voltage spikes, 95% efficiency in power and torque.
  • Soft start: no spooking of fish while trolling and lighter in weight than conventional trolling motors. 
  • Motors are designed to be used with LiFeP04 battery and built with an intergraded circuit board which regulates the voltage and allows speed adjustments in fractional increments, from 1/4 to 5 mph. This motor includes heavy gauged wire, auto reset fuse, lithium-ion plug, which handles 60 to 200 amp LiFePO4 batteries. 
  • Trolling motors with intergraded circuit board ​tend to have a longer lifespan and extended fishing time while kayaking.
​Battery Compatible:  Lithium-Ion / LiFePO4, Deep Cycle Marine, AGM and GEL batteries.
Lithium-Ion (LiFePO4) Battery & Their Effect On Conventional Trolling Motors vs Trolling Motors with Intergraded Circuit Board
  • LiFePO4 batteries were designed to be light weight and pack more energy. 
  • LiFePO4 batteries were engineered to store as much voltage from solar panels. 
The stored voltage is unregulated and will burnout conventional trolling motors or shorten their lifespan, because the collected volts are too high (+18 volts = 12.8 - 16.0 volts DC), whereas conventional trolling motors operate on regulated 12 volts.  Therefore, to regulate the LiFePO4 batteries voltage output, a trolling motor requires an intergraded circuit board to control speed and regulate the voltage, along with a heavy gauged battery cable, lithium-ion plug and an auto reset fuse.  Read More

Trolling motors require a 12v battery to operate.  Depending on the pounds of thrust of the motor you choose,  you may require a back up battery for longer range use.  ​Battery range will vary due to size, weight and type of  kayak in addition to kayaks load, wind and current.  *Additional battery info Click Here
  **Coast Guard requirements dictate that each un-grounded current-carrying conductor must be protected by a manually reset, trip-free circuit breaker or fuse**
