Easy Lifetime Tamarack Upgrades

Seat upgrade and motor mount. All through bolted for motor mount and marine tri fold rivets in the pad eyes.

Nice. Doing a similar mount but have to make it modular for weight reasons (have to store it in a basement and carry it up steep steps). Gonna use some mighty mount t-track, have two cross beams, then run my angle iron back to a cross beam in the rear that will be strapped down with strap-specific padeyes. Theb of course the L-brackets for the transom. Hopefully it works as well as yours

Sounds like you have a good plan in mind. Im sure it will work out well. Wish you the best! Post a video and tag me when you get it done would love to see your mods!

Thank u my brother I’ve got the exact kayak been trying to find a way to mount my trolling motor around that hump on the back of the kayak ur video was exactly what I needed appreciate it

No problem bud. I was hoping it would help fellow diy'ers. And if you have a scrap yard close its super cheap to source the tubing and channel. Have fun and stay out there!!! Glad I could help!!!

How about a picture of the motor mounted? Please

[@esotericpriest]

Sold that rig...sorry bud...it worked great though my wife especially liked it lol...got a "lower unit" from Kayak Buddy out of Florida and put it on a 35cc Honda 4 stroke trimmer head and it worked like a charm...run you about 6-7 mph...

Did you use a weed wacker for a motor?

[@esotericpriest]

I used the 35cc motor of a weedeater mated to a small outboard leg.

[@esotericpriest]
