What is the recommended motor weight for a small outboard engine for use on the Fish N Dive?

Generally a 25-30 lb thrust electric motor is used and works well with a deep cycle marine battery. Sorry we no longer manufacture the  motor mount.

Kayak motor mounts for sit on tops are available on the market or you can rig up your own mount like in the photo.
