Island Hopper Vortex Variable Speed Kayak Trolling Motor for Hobie® Mirage®
Item # 84-600-PD-VS
- 930 watt (3.0hp / 120# thrust of thrust)

Introducing our 600 watt (2.0hp / 80# of thrust) and 930 watt (3.0hp / 120# thrust of thrust) variable speed trolling motor called Vortex® Trolling Motor
Vortex® Trolling Motor is the result of matting a 3 phase DC electric motor with an outdrive to deliver torque and high speed that other trolling motors.
This new system has been tested over 200 hours. Thanks to its rare earth magnets, it delivers continuous torque and speed to power the heaviest of kayaks.
The Vortex® Trolling Motors Brushless motors, draw 1/3 of the power of a conventional trolling motor, therefore, requiring a smaller and lighter battery to operate.
The controller has all the functions at your fingertips, variable speeds to dial just the right speed, and a visual amperage / voltage indicator shows consumption rate to minimize wasted energy.
No assembly required, just Plug and Play. Travel time per charge yields approx. 8 hours on lower speeds and 2hours at higher speeds depending on battery type and size.

Vortex® Trolling Motor Sea Trial with Hobie® Mirage® Drive Outback Kayak
Flat Water
12vdc @35a battery consumption per hour = 6 mph 600 watts
24vdc @20a battery consumption per hour = 6 mph 930 watts
5 mph Winds 0 chop + 0 current
12vdc @15a battery consumption per hour = 4 mph 600 watts
24vdc @10a battery consumption per hour = 4.6 mph 930 watts
15 mph Wind Light Chop + Current (2mph)
12vdc @18a battery consumption per hour = 2.3-2.8 mph 600 watts
24vdc @14a battery consumption per hour = 3.0-3.4 mph 930watts
Battery Consumptions
8 hours at low speed and 2 hours at top speed
Calculations for speed and battery consumption will vary per kayak and may differ in results and or performance.
A small reduction in speed will substantially decrease battery consumption while maintaining near same speed value
A point of interest, the more amperage increase, will not necessarily increase speed but will increase torque.
