Brocraft Fishing Kayak Trolling Motor Mount Universal / Kayak Outboard Motor Bracket

This is an outstanding mount. I love everything about it. However, as some other reviewers have mentioned, a 55 pound thrust motor produces a great deal of rotational deflection in the rod that the motor mounts to. There is a very simple, and very effective fix for this problem. There are four bolts in the motor block that hold the two halves of the block together. I replaced the top, inside bolt with an eye bolt having the eye facing the front of the kayak. Then, just connect an adjustable strap between the eye bolt and your kayak and you will get absolutely no rotation in the primary rod of the mount. In fact, I'd recommend that Brocraft incorporate this simple change into their design. It produces a far more rigid system for any size motor.

My husband bought me a kayak for Christmas. Because of a bad shoulder, he needed to buy me a motor. This fit in the kayak nicely and holds the motor. Great craftsmanship. Very happy with this purchase.

Good solid build from first impressions. I'm fitting this unit on my Native slayer Propel 10 using a 20lb thrust Haswing motor which has only 24" shaft. My motor is a bit too high from looking at it to where the waterline would be. Will have to test it out on the lake and report back. It would be perfect for a 30": shaft Minn Kota but will double the weight of the motor I want. If I can suggest a modification or a design change in the future.....allow the flat mount to be inverted, hanging from the bottom as well. 2 option design. This would be perfect for shorter shaft motors. .Otherwise I like the design, solid build and setup. Thank you. Update: I tested out in the lake and it produced too much cavitation as the motor was still too high. I took the mount apart and saw an easy fix. I drilled the 3 holes opposite and reinstalled it. Now it's much lower. Brocraft: your mount will work on the bottom side now. You just need to add the 3 holes. This will now fit the native watercraft propels with the 24" shaft. See before and after pics. The mount is solid and looks really nice.

i kept but needed to reinforce, a bit flimzy, quality is good but would of built stronger, a 2" bar on my other kayak is more stable. and the nylon pad that hold's the motor is too narow for a minn kota traxxis 45, the screws are half out. needs a 1-1/2 inch more

Good quality product. Will fit perfect in my winner kayak. Fully adjustable and comes with rod holders to replace your rear ones.
