Motor Mount For Kayak Electric Trolling Motor, By Gary Thorberg, Minnesota
Here is how Gary mounted an electric trolling motor on his W500 fishing kayak: Clamp-on motor mount – Quick and easy. Gary chose to make this motor mount from Oak wood.Electric trolling motor mounted on the W500 kayak. The motor is mounted on one side of the kayak, and the battery is placed at the bottom of the opposite hull. This balances the kayak without reducing its stability. Electric trolling motor setup – General view: With this propeller shaft length, Gary can troll both seated and standing up. Since the W500 kayak is totally symmetrical frond and end, Gary can troll with the motor either in the front, or in the back. Continue reading

Danilo Russolillo, Offshore W Kayak Paddler and Angler, Rome, Italy
From the beautiful, sunny Mediterranean, Danilo wrote us:
Yesterday and today I tested the wavewalk.
I am happy with the W. It is very stable, I went far away from the beach, I enjoyed standing up, I think it’s going to be very important to people who own a Wavewalk, and also the ability to lie down and sunbathe.
It is fast like a normal kayak, and to me it is perfect.
I’m not a fisherman, but today I tried trolling. I hooked a big fish, but it broke the wire and ran away!

Opener 2011 – Minnesota Kayak Fishing Trip Report With 18′ Mothership
Opener 2011 was a success! (see photo gallery) Weather was lousy, but that made for good fishing. We caught and ate a lot of crappies, caught and released a lot of bass and northern pike. Didn’t really fish much for walleyes, but managed to catch and eat a few anyway. The W500 was really fun to fish from. I was able to go anywhere I wanted, and was never tired, even after hours of fishing. Trolling, casting, bobber fishing, and fly fishing were all easily managed. We tried transporting the ‘W’ with our ‘mother ship’, our 18′ bay boat. It was too easy! The long run into the wind to the fishing spot took only a few minutes! We will be doing that again. All in all, I can honestly say that fishing from the ‘W’ was one of my more memorable fishing experiences to date! Continue reading

Airjet Motor on W500 Stand Up Fishing Kayak – Movie
This W500 setup presents many advantages, including the lack of rudder and immersed propeller, making it ideal for shallow water, as well as water where seaweed is abundant.
It also makes beaching and launching easy. You can keep paddling while the motor is running, whether you’re looking for more speed, or for better steering. Needless to say, that you can troll and fish with both hands while the motor is running. Continue reading
Clamp Mounted Side Mount For Fishing Kayak Electric Trolling Motor
Various vendors offer clamp mounts for electric trolling motors, for canoes.
This clamp mounted motor mount is offered with an optional outrigger, featuring an adjustable height system, which enables driving the kayak with the outrigger outside the water. The outrigger is not a must-have, and you can drive the motorized W500 without it.
The main advantages of this motor mount are: Best Comfort: The steering handle is conveniently located on your side, and does not require that you turn sideways or backward, or hold your arm behind your back. This is certainly easier from an ergonomic standpoint, and the way to go when outrigger motors are concerned.
Quick and Easy to Install
You attach this motor mount to your W500 fishing kayak using two clamps – It’s quick (takes about 1 minute), easy (no tools needed), and does not require that you drill holes in the hull.
Versatility: 1. You can attach the motor on either side of your fishing kayak, and easily switch sides. This can be an advantage especially if there’s a strong side wind blowing.
2. You can easily and quickly dismount the motor mount, and store it, as well as the electric motor in the W500 hull tips. It’s convenient in case you no longer feel like using the motor, or if you’re going in very shallow water, or in water that has a lot of seaweed, where paddling works better than trolling with a motor.
