I'm sorry, but have a couple of ?'s. Is this an older model (hence, lower price)? I want for kayak. Anyone know wattage? And why is wattage important?

I Don`t think it`s a particularly old model, but it`s smaller and probably doesn't have quite so many features as the more expensive models. I have one mounted on my fishing kayak and it works well. It draws .75 amps (9 watts) of power. This means that you can run it off a 7ah battery for 9 hours (7/0.75=9.3). It transmits at 250 watts, more watts more power.

I was wondering how this worked out for you, on the intercoastal? (Sorry this isn't an answer - but I saw your comment about having ordered the kayak...

I tried to research Polk boats but the site was down. I have a sit on top kayak. This seat requires you to connect 2 front (left and right side) secure points and 2 left and right rear secure points. This seat was only $59.99 a few months ago. The price change occurred after I paid $68. Now, I'm showing that it is being sold for $85. It's now over priced. Contact the boat manufacturer and ask them what type of seat is needed. Then start your research to find the correct seat. If his boat does not have 4 points of contact, this is not the right seat. Good luck!

Volume has not been a problem even over a diesel engine of a 37 foot lobster boat. It has been covered by saltwater and providing you take care of it as you would any good saltwater equipment it should work great for the Kayak.

sorry. Amazon is not to together. it was not enough watts for my solar generator. I sent it back. salt water will ruin it. make sure the it's enough watts for what your using it for. water , waves trashing it will cause it to probely short out and ruin it. use a panel and make sure the electrical connections are water proof.

Absolutely!! I have a Trident-13 Angler kayak, With a weight-limit of 450-lbs. And me being a bigger guy, (6-2', 240 lbs.) And loaded - down with fishing gear, cooler, etc. etc.So I'm pushing the limit, if not exceeding it by a few pounds, And Work's Great for me!!. & with a Universal Deep-Cycle 12-Volt Sealed Battery,, (about $100 roughly), I've ran in 3-ft. Sea's against a 10-knot head wind for 6 to 8 hrs. At a time at 1/2 -speed, 20+ - miles out in the Gulf Of Mexico off Pensacola Florida's Beach,, And didn't even use 1/2 the charge!! Grant it you won't be able to pull a Skier behind you,, But it will most definitely get you where you want to go in your 12-ft. Aluminum Boat!! It's a strong motor!! I definitely recommend it !! Hope This helps you, Best Regards, Thomas (Tommy) Myers. Pensacola, Florida.

Not sure if I can help. You may get better response from the manufacturer. I would make sure you have reset the choke after starting (just to ensure you are getting the correct fuel-air mix), ensure you have the eco button turned OFF, make sure the fuel valve is fully open (you may want to cycle it on/off a few times to be sure). I use this on my sailboat and have used the 30A to tie direct to my AC input on the boat. However, I have never put more than approx. 1500W load onto it. Never really tried to load it up. Otherwise I am happy with performance. Hope this helps.

Steve -- This product only handles one Kayak. You would need to buy 2 to accomodate a 2nd Kayak. However, the installation is very easy and I am very satisfied with this product.

If the question is specifically about the Old Town Vapor 10 I'd say I'm happy with my purchase. You don't need a lot of help if you want a good, reasonably priced kayak that is good on lakes. I'm over 6 foot and it is comfortable for me but I sometimes put in an extra seat cushion. It comes with an anchor so all you need is a paddle and life vest. The only change I would make to it would be extra rod holders aft of the seating area instead of behind.

Please be aware this is the lowest wattage unit Farm Innovators makes. If I were going to be looking at 3 gal. and -20 I would think about a higher wattage unit but I have no experience with it in such extreme conditions.

OK, we'll see. I ordered a KWORLD unit from E-H for $30 shipped. http://us.kworld-global.com/main/prod_in.aspx?mnuid=1306&modid=10&pcid=71&ifid=17&prodid=97&flag=1

I believe it is good up to low 100s hp. You need to go to the next one up for 200HP. Check Sea Stars web site the have information on all outboards and what fits what normally. They are helpful o the phone too. Call and leave a message for tech support and they actually call back. Hope this was helpful. Capt. Jack Boender

I have a sevylor Tahiti-K79. The skeg is worth buying as it keeps the kayak moving forward instead of drifting. amazon had skegs last year I think. but maybe not this year. However I have information on the store they used. before. shipstore.com

My immediate reaction is that fishing hooks and inflatables don't mix well. The kayak is pretty durable, so if you were super-careful about your sharp stuff it might work. Also, this model is a sit-on-top, with only minimal storage wells. Coleman makes a similar kayak in a "touring" model which would have more room for storing gear and your fish.

Wendi, spend another $20 and get a boat that works, The controller quit after 2 hrs. The boat did rip pretty good in the river. for a while..

I personally have this item (but in color). And it works it works fine for what you need. You can adjust the sensitivity as well, which is always good.Are you looking to mount the transducer to the kayak? From my experience too - mine has been soaked with water/sea spray and I have not had any issues. However, you will need to wipe any saltwater off (if you are doing any ocean kayaking). This product is simple and easy to use.MarineHQ.
