This thread is from the Getaway forum. Lots of ideas for motor mounts. I had a Cheeta on my Getaway, but switched to Keith's design with the additional crossbar; it's plenty strong enough to hold a 42# motor. You will probably have to modify Keith's design for the 16, but it's a heck of a lot cheaper than a Cheeta - $100 vs $500! https://www.hobie.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=57851 |

I have been thinking about a motor and one of my concerns is what happens when you pitch-pole and have a motor on the end of a 2' lever arm flying through the air? Even a flip could put unexpected stresses on the mount and I'd imagine the extra weight might turtle the boat, submerging the motor, and make it more challenging to right. I know I'm a bit paranoid. Does anyone have experience with these situations? |
