Review: Perfect motor for inflatable kayak - The Watersnake ASP24 trollling motor has been a perfect lightweight addition to my inflatable fishing kayak set-up. I like being able to choose between slow and fast speeds... and between forward and reverse... quickly with the flip of the switch. The steering is easy and with a reverse option you don't have to turn the motor all the way around to change direction. This allows me to cast a fly line, briefly move the boat away in the correct direction to take out the slack or feed out more line, and then pause/stop the motor for retrieve. The results with stillwater trout fishing have been fantastic! The motor does not drag significantly if paused while paddling. The tilt mechanism works quickly and perfectly so the motor can be tilted out of the way easily when paddling for extended periods, in shallow water or when landing the boat. The unit comes cabled and ready to clip to a deep cycle marine battery and draws very little power... it ran intermittently 6 hours per day for 2 days without a re-charge on a 75aH battery. It is designed for use in both fresh and saltwater, so I look forward to taking it with me soon to the Oregon Coast for tidal estuary exploration and crabbing. Highly recommended!
Review: Great Motor and value - Main use is on a River with kayak. Purchased this along with a LifePo4 20Ah battery and built my own motor mount to fit in rear rod holders (out of 1.25” PVC, 2x4 and 3/8” hardware, all in $30). MPH is probably 2 on low and 3 on high. Draw is 9amps on low and 20 on high. 20Ah battery can probably last 1hr on high and 2hrs or so low (I was out 4hrs today). Battery and motor are very light. What else? Prop isn’t great but isn’t terrible, hit a few branches underwater and it didn’t snap (suggest to buy a spare and bring it with you). Get this model over the 19lb thrust, the extra power draw and weight are minimal. My yak is a 9ft sit on top fishing kayak, weight rating 350lbs, my weight 200lbs, 6ft tall.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good motor but cheep kayak mount
*by A***R on September 4, 2021*

I bought 3 of these specifically for my kayaks. The mounting bracket has a nice design but there were two main problems. Fist the stainless steel nuts are too small for the plastic inserts and when you try to tighten down the clamps the nut will slip inside the housing. The second problem is its impossible to hand tighten the bolts enough to keep both the horizontal and vertical bars from moving when you turn on the motor. I had to use JBWeld epoxy to keep the nuts in place and create a special key that fits over the bolts to give me more leverage to tighten down the nuts. Hopefully this will solve the problem. The steering handle is very flimsy so you have to be careful when using that as well. The motor seems to be of good quality but the propeller is made of thin plastic and that could be an issue if you happen to run into an debris while on the water.
