looks great, but I would hold off on the registration, I got mine registered and only used it a few times since a few years ago but every year I still have to register it. The lady at the DMV looked at me crazy when I told her I needed registration for my kayak. Wait for a warning or fix it ticket, but I don't think they care or even know you need one with a electric motor.

Thanks for the info. I checked out info on registering her. I figure I will wait for a while. I guess if I do register it it would be considered Alternative Fuel and be pretty cheap anyways. I just don't want the numbers on my Yak!

I am about to tackle this project, currently working on battery waterproof case problems, trying to find one to fit the battery yet can still fit in my kayak. Thanks for posting the pictures I might use some of your ideas along with my ideas of copping the bassyak setup

I recommend checking out the Video from the Itailian kayaker who did it first. He goes into some more details, and uses the original mount more than I did. What size battery are you looking at?

I have a 12.8v 100ah LiFePo4 battery, it only weighs 28lbs. I was trying to make a custom battery box so it fit in the rear hatch of my x factor but I gave up yesterday and ordered a pelican box, I can't believe none of the case company's make a case that fits in the rear hatch of my x factor yet can still fit the battery in, so it looks like the battery is going in the front. I also have a pwm speed controller so I can eliminate the stock speed controller with a more efficient pwm speed controller.
