Model TMM 15 For motors featuring a short, 15″ propeller shaft.
Our W kayaks can be easily outfitted with electric trolling motors, as well as small outboard gas engines.
While we recommend outfitting the W500 and W502 kayaks with motors featuring a long, 20″ propeller shaft, we’re aware of the fact that few small outboard gas engines on the market feature such long shafts, and most old and new small outboards available feature a shorter, 15″ propeller shaft.
We designed this version of the W Transom Motor Mount for such short shaft motors:
Unlike the motor mount for 20″ long shafts, this mount cannot be attached directly behind the cockpit, since that would prevent using the clamp screws that fasten the motor to the mount.
Therefore, this mount should be attached to the W kayak at a few inches distance behind the cockpit’s rear end, in a manner that would make it possible for the user to tighten and loosen the clamp screws without experiencing any problem.
This distance depends on the type and size of clamps your motor comes with.
Kayak Compatibility: The W Kayak Transom Motor Mount fits W kayaks from the 500 and 502 series.
Motor Compatibility: This W Kayak Transom Motor Mount fits electric trolling motors, and outboard gas motors up to 2hp. We recommend outfitting the motor with a long, articulated tiller extension that enables the driver to steer from a position that’s closer to the middle of the cockpit, rather than from its rear.
Material: This W Kayak Transom Motor Mount is crafted from 1″ thick Trex board.
Trex is an environmentally friendly, composite material made from recycled and reclaimed plastic, and reclaimed wood. No trees are cut down for the purpose of making Trex. This material is widely used as decking and railing material since it will not splinter, rot or deteriorate due to harsh weather or insects. Trex resists damage from moisture and sunlight, which makes it a better alternative to wood for this matter. Unlike wood, Trex requires no painting, coating or maintenance.
Dimensions: This W Kayak Transom Motor Mount is 4.25″ high and 20″ wide, and it weighs 6 lbs.
Attachment: This W Kayak Transom Motor Mount is easily attached to the W kayak by means of two bolts. We recommend attaching this W Kayak Transom Motor Mount close as possible to the cockpit, as much as your motor’s clamp screws allow, in order to improve stability, access to the motor, control, and safety.
