Probably not long enough. Maybe 5 ft long at most. It can b turned for stern mount too

Wont really work. The cable is too short, and the motor is onloy designed t omount on the bow of the boat, and so won't rotate 180-degrees to be mounted on the stern.

Absolutely. Mine happens to be 18', but is also set to handle my 16' kayak either solo or nested.leeper

Not offhand, but I can say that it isn't as wide as my hobie kayak. For rocky terrain I would want at least a 2 to 3 ft wide base. Not sure if they make them. Maybe easier to build a custom one

I have an Eagle Talon 12 by Field & Steam, I looked at your Kayak, it will most defiantly work

Pretty much ready to fish out of the box. I had to order an extension cable for the transducer. I have a 25.5' center console boat. If you are installing this unit on a shorter boat or have a shorter distance from the unit to the transducer you will be OK. If your unit comes with the structure scan you will want to pick up an on off switch from your local auto parts. This is so the structure scan does not run continuously while not in use

I shoot through the hull of a kayak. Is the underside if the deck in constant contact with the water? If there is any air gap it will not work. Please also more that this "track plotter" is not the same as a regular chart plotter. It will show you where you have been, but will NOT let you select a waypoint to navigate to. I bought it and did not attempt to install for a few months due to shoulder immobility post surgery. Then I found this out when not was too late to return it.

Long enough to get to the back of my 18' boat with the bow mounted trolling motor.

We have two of them, one in each state we live in. They work great....we travel with 16 feet of lumber with no problem on the truck and the the extension. they operate in two ways....short and tall....so they are very versatile. I dont see any problem with a 12' kayak. good luck

As others have said, a motor on this type of hull is problematic. Although pictures show it with a motor, it is difficult to get a solid mount. I ended up having to fabricate a plate that is bolted to the left and right rear holes where it is thinnest and then mounted a 30lb electric to the middle of the plate so the motor was in the middle. I added an extension to the motor to have control from the front. Also a huge fix was turning the rudder control around so that it faced the back of the boat.

This motor is ready to go out of the box with cables. You need a battery and that's it. I also bought a battery case to keep it dry. It should push your canoe fine.My little 12ft fishing boat flies thru the water.

Yes. I use it for my 12 foot without a problem. Just center it under the canoe and push or pull it.

Our kayaks sit between 28 1/2" to about 33" from the ceiling (or the mounting 2x4, depending on the method you use). Since ours are mounted across the ceiling joists we had to use a 2x4 (per the instruction) so add another 1 1/2" to this. If you see our review we noted that we had to use different straps than the one's that come with the mount. This may cause ours to be a little lower. It looks like the new version may have different straps which may work better. The original straps on our 10 foot kayaks would not work; they just slipped of the end. Hope this helps.

We load 2 9 ft kayKs that we carry ontop of our pilot. The bars on the pilot a fairly close. About the same as my wife's Outback. We have had no issues, but load one on each side and always tie down the bow and stern. Being over cautious, I also run a strap around both boats in the middle.

I am not sure, I know that its stated on the kayak that it has not been rated for use with a motor.

Funny I got this email right after I loaded my 32" wide board. Yes, will be fine. Length doesn't matter except for the particular vehicle. I take my 8'6 SUP on a bmw 530i. Don't like it at highway speeds, but Surface streets ok.

I installed mine on a 18' fish and ski boat I would have to think you could get an extension for it. SorryI couldn't be of better help.

Yep. That's exactly what I mounted mine on. More than enough power for this light boat but install was a little awkward. Took one weekend to install.
