Wow would have been great to see this video like two weeks ago when I was constantly searching Amazon, KZitem and the web for a transom mount for my kayak! Got fed up and built my own for less than $20 and no drilling holes. Now if the internet would let me find Boating Lights I would be done!

@@johnstarkie9948 I built those myself too! Just took more PVC and added a 3" chunk of 2x4, screwed it to the transom and drilled a hole for the PVC to stick into and put a light on top. Similar for the bow lights, took a dowel and stuck it down the bow drain pug and then matched the angle with another chunk of 2x4 to make it level then attached the green/red light on it. Also installed a PWM. Now that is a game changer.

Also they don't mention that you need at lest a 40 Ah battery which will weigh about 12 KG and that you have to lug to the water with everything else, unless of coarse you buy a Lithium battery which will cost you more than the boat did....

The Jack bar is extremely smooth and will want to rotate when the motor runs, the locking screws designed to prevent this rotation aren’t really big enough to tighten enough by hand. The torque created by the motor is too much for them to hold the Jack bar in place. The motor itself is just fine, unfortunately the mount needs a work around. Close but not close enough.

I have just ordered this unit that comes with the new bracket only, So would this come with the shaft holder already pre-attached ? as the video refers to those changing over from the old style brackets to the new one. One would assume that the need to avoid having to remove motor head would be more of a benefit to the technically challenged buyers. Also I noticed the video does not show how much difficulty there was in trying to attach the nuts to the bracket underside if the rod holders are the closest point to attach. Would need very small hands.
