If you are thinking about fitting a motor to your fishing kayak, here are seven reasons based on data from 3Lithium motors and batteries, so you can decide with numbers.
1. You reach spots you would skip when paddling
With a headwind, a current or a fishing spot far from the launch, the energy you spend paddling is energy you no longer have for fishing. With a motor you arrive rested, with your hands free to set up your gear. On large reservoirs and lakes, that opens up areas that are not worth paddling to.

2. More time with your lure in the water
On a day at a reservoir you cover several kilometres between spots. With a motor those moves take minutes, and the time you save is fishing time.
3. An electric motor makes very little noise
Compared with a combustion engine, an electric motor is quiet. The STG series motors are brushless. On a float tube it lets you approach a spot without the splashing of fins.
4. It fits with the universal stern mount
3Lithium kits come with a universal stern mount that fits most kayaks. If you are unsure about your model, write to us and we will tell you which mount you need.
5. The range covers a full day
According to the product sheets, the MK2 1CV with a 750 Wh battery gives 3 to 4 hours at cruising speed. With the 1,100 Wh PowerBox 3, more than 6 hours with the 1CV motor and more than 4 hours with the 2CV. MK2 motors can also run a dual battery to extend it.
6. Charging costs a few cents
A 1,100 Wh battery stores 1.1 kWh. With electricity at €0.15 to €0.30 per kWh, a full charge costs about 17 to 33 cents.
7. Safety comes as standard
The kits include the HAA (man overboard) system: the safety key is attached to the angler and, if they fall into the water and the key comes off, the motor stops. Spare keys are in MK2 spare parts.
