Hi, Can I ask what brand wedge mount was used with the railblaza fitting?

Pretty sure it is the Hobie wedge mount and I just ran a longer screw through it so the railblaza mount fitted on top.

The weakest part of this mount is the where the plastic mount connects to the metal tube. The 2 Phillips head screws screw into the plastic and this is all that is holding back the torque of the motor as the thrust relies to twist the joint. The screws work loose after a very short time and gets worse very quickly. I added 4 more screws and still couldn’t get it a solid joint as the original screws had made the hole in the lattice too large. I purchased a new mount and added 4 screws at the start but it still wasn’t good and with the issue with the thumb screws not being able to tighten enough I gave up and made a different mount. My suggestion, these don’t work well at all - don’t buy.

Steering wont work as well on kayaks with rudders because the motor is fighting the kayak rudder. I would imagine that the steering is more effective if the kayak does not have a rudder.

Just mounted a T24 on a Pryml Titan and that was very fiddly. There is no easy internal access on that kayak and I had to get the nuts on via the rod holder hole. Not the easiest job I have ever done but got there in the end. Haven't got ours wet yet but looking forward to see how well it goes. Good tip about using the rudder, save me having to learn :) The mount is now a bit different as they have done away with the stainless steel shaft and the top plate is angled. Might help with engine stability a bit - yet to see though.

I've seen a nice and cheap mod you might want to try - you use one of those small polythene chopping boards cut down slightly on an angle and clamped onto the shaft above the prop using electrical cable clamps - there are videos here on KZbin or Amazon sell a proper kit for about $ 60 bucks AUS if you can't be bothered making one. I reckon it would make a huge difference to the steering because all you've got is a tiny fin on the bottom of the watersnake that doesn't add any real steering. Cheers.

Thinking of buying one - seems they really need to redesign a better clamping system to prevent that motor movement or some sort of tape that doesn't allow the mount to turn so easily in the clamps . Is there any fitted tool supplied to tighten those clamps or is it just down to fingers or pliers ? Many thanks for the practical video on how it works.

It seems to me to be asking to have no base, drop the vertical tube dropped down the rod holder just adjacent to where you have it mounted. This way you have no drilling, no holes in the kayak and it should be easy to remove.
