Hi guys,

I rear mounted a 34lb watersnake on my 2015 hobie PA 14, using the scupper holes behind the vantage..the mount is super lightweight Aluminium and super strong.. Here's a video with it in action

Cheers,

I'd be keen to see how others have their trolling motors set up too

I'm waiting for someone to try the Hobie trolling motor mount from the PA17 on their PA 14.

That'd be pretty cool... It'd have to be an I pilot or something with a remote...?

Well you're in luck...I just ordered the pa17 motor mount for my pa14. I've read everything I can find regarding putting a motor on a kayak and it seems most do it for propulsion ...all I want is to be able to control my boat while fishing in the standing position . To do this I think a front mount xi5 with anchor or spot mode and jog is the perfect solution so if the mount fits as I think it will, I'll buy the motor and probably 2 nf-22 agm 55ah batteries that some one on here suggested. I really hope this works because it will be a very expensive failure if it doesn't !
I'll keep you informed and please provide any advice that may help.
