Performance by temperature

Range and performance

Values obtained under optimal conditions with a standard fishing kayak. Actual results may vary depending on total weight and water conditions.

Remote control with display

The MK 1.5CV comes with a remote control featuring a display and a rotary selector. The electronic controller is connected internally to the battery and synchronised with the remote. The system is switched on with the power button on the side of the case and only works with the Man Overboard (MOB) system in place. Power is adjusted progressively, from 0 to 100% forward and, for safety, from 0 to 50% in reverse.

Note: the remote control is not submersible.

Marine aluminium stern mount

The mounting bracket is made of marine-grade aluminium, resistant to saltwater corrosion. It is compatible with fishing kayaks such as the Alborán FX3, Wildcat FX, Supernova FX, Outback, Compass and models with similar geometry. If your kayak has a special shape and needs a specific mount, write to us at info@peskayak.com.

Use and safety tips

• Do not open, puncture or strike the case, remote control, MOB system or charger.
• Never submerge the case, remote control, MOB system or charger, and keep them out of direct sunlight, especially in summer.
• Switch off the controller (button LED off) when you are not using the motor.
• Avoid overheating the controller through excessive use; it does, however, include over-temperature protection.
• Do not handle the motor while the kill switch key is inserted: accidental start-up can cause serious injury.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the MK 1.5CV and the UltraPro 1CV?

The MK 1.5CV raises power to 1,100W (1.5 HP), compared with 850W on the UltraPro 1CV, and includes a 1,100Wh battery with Samsung cells. That means more thrust and more range for heavily loaded kayaks or longer days on the water.

How does it perform in cold weather?

The battery keeps 100% of its capacity between 23 and 45 ºC. At 0 ºC it drops to 60% and at -10 ºC to 40%, so plan for less range on winter outings.

How long does the battery last?

It has 500 guaranteed cycles retaining 80% of its capacity, and can reach 4,000 cycles while keeping 60%.

How much does the complete system weigh?

The complete system weighs 14.85 kg: 8.05 kg for the battery in its case and 6.8 kg for the motor.

Can I use the motor in saltwater?

Yes, with the usual precautions. The mount is made of marine-grade aluminium and the wiring of high-resistance silicone. After every saltwater outing, rinse the motor and mount with fresh water and apply dielectric grease to the connectors.

Does the warranty cover saltwater use?

The 3-year warranty covers manufacturing defects. Preventive maintenance after saltwater use (rinsing with fresh water after each outing) is the user's responsibility and is necessary to keep the motor in good condition.
