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 & reverse", which allows trolling at very low speeds for hours without affecting any motor speeds.
  • 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.
Understanding 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. 
  • Trolling motors with intergraded circuit board ​tend to have a longer lifespan and extended fishing time while kayaking.
​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

Variable Speed Kayak Motors ​T​ransom ​M​ount for Hobie Kayaks

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
