outboard engine mounts...

#1 Post by surfingjonny »

Hi all,

I have a liquid logic manta ray, and was wondering if anyone knows how to go about mounting a small outboard onto these? Would like to go that bit further... In general, what size of outboards can be used with sit on tops (15ft)?

Cheers...

I think, I seem to remember reading about English yakkers mounting electric engines on the back of their yaks. The shaft had ot be cut down, and I suppose they had to install a ruder system as well.

Can't think now where I read about it.

Minn kiota trolling motors. There is a company on the web that has a custom package for most kayak types. Costly though!!!!
