*This makes my old motor look like a toy **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it's well built. I haven't had it on the water yet, but I'm very sure it will perform just fine.*
I am a 100% pure paddle fisherman, sure it's a bit tough, especially those first several trips but If it where easy everyone would be doing it! Also I fish extremely skinny water at least half the time so paddling is a must. BUT I treat my Kayak fishing like a crossfit workout some days, so I get to fish and get my cardio in!
Awesome man, I'm planning on getting a motorguide xi3 for mines and link it with my lowrance for gps. Not very many videos about a hobie 12-14' with a bow mount trolling motor. Would like to see how you installed the plating.
So I notice there is miss match on the colors here. shaft is white lower unit white. rest is black? Assuming you had to piece this build also. I'll be on the same page also. Just did a Ipilot upgrade on my minn kotta power drive 50lbs thrust. I'll be doing a video on this also soon. stay tuned. I'll show how it was all put together including rebuilding the lower unit. just subscribed. looking forward to many more Videos Sir tight lines.
Hey Bud, I really like your setup, I got all the info on the parts you used to get it done from all the comments below, the only thing that I am missing is what type of battery you are using, do you mind tell us what type of battery you are using?

This Kayak by itself is only about $4500 minn Kota trolling motor at least 400-700 also I can imagine how much all the other electronics and accessories are.
the PA 14 360 is $4799.00. In Florida it'll run you $5136.00 after tax. just ordered mine a couple weeks ago. This dudes kayak with everything he has on it will run you roughly 9k to 10k if everything was bought brand new.
I'm curious about your wheel system for transport and the bar that the wheels slide into that is bolted to your kayak. Did you fabricate that bit or purchase it? I have a 133x by ascend and its 13 ft long so I'm in need of a better system.
do you have any regrets with this gps trolling brand? i'm looking to get a gps trolling motor but not sure which to get (MK or Motor Guide xi3) .. seeing some conflicting reviews between the two brands. Any insight from you would be great. Do you still have it and still performance the way you expected, especially the splot lock feature?
Didn't test the XI3 but I have never had an issue with MK. I still have it, very durable, I used it in salt and fresh water with no issue. Spot lock is a great feature against wind and current.
Seems a little unnecessary to upgrade to the 360 drive. You are literally paying a premium price for the PA 360 for the new mirage drive and you're not even using it. you could have paid half the price for an 17-18 model with the MD 180, since you primarily use the Minn Kota. Nonetheless, it's a sweet setup and i'm very jealous.
Depends on the type. GPS trolling motors should be installed on the bow. Other basic ones can be installed near the seat so you can move them however you want.
How’s the heading lock feature on the pa14? If you press heading lock at full speed will it Keep you going in one direction? I have a xi3 with pinpoint on my native Titan and heading lock only works well at very slow speed. My friends autopilot 120 works perfectly at high speed with heading lock.
yes , the head unit has silicone gasket protects it from water damage , I usually clean it with spraying water and no damage so far. important note , make sure to buy saltwater unit !
I am mounting a Terrova 55 on a Old Town Predator MX with a minn kora slide quick release. Did you mount any block of wood or plastic on the inside to of hull to prevent pull thru?
Did you cut the shaft on your trolling motor? I have a PA14 and a 15 tracker grizzly. I want to buy a xi3 48 inch shaft to use on both kayak and grizzly but don’t want to cut the shaft in order to use on PA14.
A real nice setup for the trolling motor. I almost went with the H-17 plate but read your post and seeing your video I think I like yours better. I went the company website and only could see 3 pictures. Would you be ok with sending me the mounting instructions so I can see how it mounts. I can determine that you remove the handle (same as pa17) and place the mount to the nose and reinstall the handle. My concern is the mounting toward the hatch before I spend 165.00. If you will copy and send I would appreciate it. Just reply and I will send number to text to. I have a 2020 Pa 14, my second one. I have done the trolling motor on the aft but with a Power Pole and Spot lock trolling motor on the bow is the way to go, Thank you Mustafa.
There is a written instruction to mount the bracket but overall it's very simple. You remove the handle and remove the straps from front hatch. Drill little bit bigger holes for rear mounting part and put the straps and the rest together. Only the issue I had that I needed to bend the legs to make it perfect fit (not all kayaks are perfect shape), which you should do after heating the metal to avoid paint chip. I believe you won't need a power pole , spotlock is much more better :) I'll do another video once I have time to show parts and install steps.

Richard Chao yes , It just sticks out like 4 foot and I dont need to remove middle seats . I use 3 cam straps , one for each h rail to handles on sliding door openings and one for the hatch , I will do a video later to show how I do.
No, I don't. If you have PA14 and getting water inside the hull then make sure your rod tubes are sealed. I have not had any water since I sealed them.
Nice setup! I have a 2017 PA 14 used mostly in salt water. I'm a little concerned about bow mounting but may try it as i like the spot lock. My 2nd choice is a Bixby. Is the fish finder hooked up to the same battery?

Seems like way too much work to put that motor on and get it going, should have just bought an Old Town Sportsman 136 for when you don't feel like pedaling your Hobie 360. I have both, use the H360 when I want the exercise and the OT when I want to chill on the water and drink vodka.Nice video though.
Really cool setup thanks for sharing! Curious, have you had any issues offshore with the extra weight in the bow? Was thinking of doing something similar on my PA14, but was worried adding that weight would make the bow ride lower in the water, causing more water to come over the bow when riding offshore. And I know that front hatch isnt exactly water-tight so you could end up in an uncomfortable situation. Curious to know your experience this far.
Good question. I only fish backwater (Chesapeake Bay) so I don't have offshore open water experience. The bow mount trolling motor puts some weight (35 lbs) on the bow but not that much to notice, maybe 1 or 2 " difference. I got a couple of heavy weaves (almost lost the rod in my hand) due to high-speed boats but no water went inside the hull. The gasket around the front hatch is very good and most of the time the actual source of the leak is the rod holders. I have applied silicone and fully sealed them so no water leak from them as well. In my opinion, PA14 is only good for calm weather on open water, having a bow mount is not that much of a difference. If you really want to go open water then make sure you seal the rod holders and other lower points, hatch seal is not that big of a problem in my opionion.
Also, I was thinking to design windshield-kind-of plexiglass to attach my bow to stop waves but I didn't do it since there was no water inside the hull after a couple of big waves.

Thanks Mustafa.
i'm so happy to see this very nice KAYAK
Nice set up! Can you post information or a video on the install. You mentioned also about "caty" they way she did a set up. Whose page is that?
Having a 360 drive and not using it is such a flex
I don't know. I could see using a motor to get to/from your fishing grounds and using the pedal drive to maneuver once fishing starts.
I love the setup.
ty!
Nice job. I have a 40lb tiller stear on rear that works well but bow mount is better.

they should come with the hobie h-crate

yes and yes :) 31"
nice ❤️ from malaysia
I am also considering to buy Minn kota for my Hobie outback. Is it a must to mount it on the front side ?
Depends on the type. GPS trolling motors should be installed on the bow. Other basic ones can be installed near the seat so you can move them however you want.
Nice setup! I have the same exact kayak and would love to know more about motor mount. Did you customize it? If so what exactly did you customize.
Great setup, do you think you could stow the motor on the water?
Great setup! Thanks for sharing. Does the Minn Kota talk to your Garmin?
Nope , it doesn’t. Someone told me not possible :/
After you installed the trolling motor in the front, how often do u still use ur mirage drive?
Nice kano
That is the premiere setup! Did you use the Motor Guide Quick release bracket and not the MinnKota?
I use MinnKota quick release bracket for riptide versions.
Nice setup. But its a lot of work, don’t you think? Bass boat may work better. Imo.
Kinda true but can you put your bass boat in your van or fish lakes where there is no ramp ? :) Side note , I have a bass boat too ;)
Roughly how much is this setup?
Did you make your freshwater trolling motor salt water resistan , ?
Nope, it is a Riptide (saltwater) motor but I changed the plastic parts with black ones.
nice setup bro.. how fast does it go?
It goes up to 4.4 mph , regular speed is around 3.9 - 4.0 at speed 10.
How’s the heading lock feature on the pa14? If you press heading lock at full speed will it
Keep you going in one direction? I have a xi3 with pinpoint on my native Titan and heading lock only works well at very slow speed. My friends autopilot 120 works perfectly at high speed with heading lock.
I had no problem with heading lock on full speed. You just need to set the settings as a small boat , otherwise it will make sharp left&rights .

How much for that kayak, and is that tippy with high seat like that????
Not tippy unless you go backwater with waves. Don't know the overall cost but it is over 10k
As re you getting water inside your hull?
No, I don't. If you have PA14 and getting water inside the hull then make sure your rod tubes are sealed. I have not had any water since I sealed them.

about 9k for that setup right?
