I use the scotty locking mount on the opposite side of motor so its a extra device to keep motor mount locked in. Just not to rely on the plastic padeye on kayak.

Robert Lawson says:

It's not deep enough geez

High Alpine says:

I own a 2.5 and now a 6. Its perfect you just got a 6 as well and even better that you are planning on making a fix it video for it. They would be the only ones on youtube. Not much Suzuki 6 information out there as of yet.

walleye channel says:

Leaving for Marathon Fl. From E Tennessee on Fri. I’m a hillbilly coming to make you proud of your videos. Will I be too early for Tarpon next week?

Justin Jones says:

Currently building my second outrigger. First was less than 4ft my new one is just under 8 ft. Can't wait to take my 2.5 out again.

Cameron Eagle says:

that 6 hp is perfect for a 18-20ft sail boat , so i bet it pushes you on that kayak pretty easy … cool beans

gymkhanadog says:

Guy misses the whole point of having a kayak… instead of a motor boat .

SouthJerseyFisherman028 says:

Awesome video man I did have a question have u ever thought of putting those electric outboard motors from torqeedo on the Yak? They seem pretty light and some get to a pretty decent speed depending on model u get. I think with a good lithium battery it would last u all day. An maybe to fix that motor leaning u could use a L bracket behind it so it won't lean to one side or back.

Sailing Spain & Beyond says:

Absolute nonsense.
The motor is way too heavy.
Way too powerful.
The hatch will flood the hull.
The holes for the steering wires sit also under water.
Weight offset will decrease steering stability.
The vibration will destroy the polyethene structure.

Dan Akan says:

Does 6hp get you an alternator output? Or is it an option?
