Hi there I have a 2021 Mirage Compass. I would like to know if anyone has successfuly installed a motor guide xi3 on it. I have searched online and only found installations on PA's. Will installing a XI3 compromise that stability of the compass? |

I would be leery as it weighs 55 pounds + battery weight. In order to prevent the kayak from leaning/heeling to the left or right, it needs to be mounted on the kayak center line....if on the bow, how much will it dip and same for the stern. I would simulate the installation by adding weight to the bow and then stern, to see how the hull handles the additional weight. This is not a inexpensive investment, so getting it right is important....just my take on your idea. |
