STOP! Don’t Buy a Kayak Motor Until You Watch This

🚨Sign up for our 1st ever Kayak Fishing Dads Retreat happening November 2026 on Santee Cooper 👉🏽 https://geni.us/KFDretreat If you’re thinking about putting a motor on your kayak, this video is going to save you time, money, and maybe a few headaches. I’m breaking down the main types of kayak motors: bow-mounted, stern-mounted, and the new ePDL drive from Old Town. I’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each, what setups I’ve used, and how to avoid dropping $1,000 on something that doesn’t fit your fishing style. Whether you’re new to kayak fishing or upgrading your rig, this is everything I wish I knew before buying my first motor. 🔗 *MOTORS MENTIONED* ⬇️ Minn Kota Terrova - https://geni.us/9jKgYzD Lowrance Recon - https://geni.us/5KfXQ60 Newport NK180 Pro - https://geni.us/nk180pro Newport NK300 - https://geni.us/pxPy Torqeedo Ultralight - https://geni.us/kMn3RYD Garmin Force Current - https://geni.us/wECtZYS Old Town ePDL+ - https://geni.us/6K9ORk *Need affordable and reliable lithium power ⚡️ for your setup?* - https://www.litime.com/?ref=mcgrjzzb 💰Use Promo Code💰: BDF10 for 10% off your entire purchase *Yak Power Switching System* - https://bit.ly/41FZ3jo 💰DISCOUNT CODE💰: BDF5 for 5% off your entire purchase ⭐️ *Be a channel member here* ⭐️ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr24BQ1cXV_bwEWqGwktxNA/join Please note, some product links are affiliate links which means if you buy something I'll receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. ▶️ *Links to other helpful videos* ▶️ 🎥 21 Things you NEED for Fishing - https://youtu.be/Me8C95LKN1E 🎥 Top Kayaks for Big Guys Video: https://youtu.be/e2_2bEXCmxE 🎥 Top Kayak Fishing Mods - https://youtu.be/uWtEdZQKyFg 🎥 Worst Kayaks to Avoid - https://youtu.be/Cza_DyGK5g0 🎥 10 Kayaks under $1,500 - https://youtu.be/jOdnOKpa3fk 🎥 Why Pedal Kayaks are Dead - https://youtu.be/RPsukUo6PBM 🛟 *Top safety accessories for kayak fishing* 🛟: NRS Chinook OS PFD - https://amzn.to/4fKtKfS Onyx A/M 24 Auto Inflating PFD - https://amzn.to/4oK6jr3 NRS Pilot Rescue Knife - https://amzn.to/3XpKS2b YakAttack VISICarbon Pro 360 Light - https://amzn.to/4oozyhT 👍 *Follow my socials* : Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BeardedDadFishing/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/BeardedDadFishing/ 👍 *Join us on Kayak Fishing Dads* : FB- https://www.facebook.com/groups/1474900446279062 ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS ⏱️ 0:00 Best Kayak Motors 0:36 Why Even Buy a Motor? 2:11 Bow Mounted Options 4:47 Stern Mounted Options 6:45 ePDL Drive (e-bike Kayak) 🎶 Music: Intro bumper: Song: CHENDA - Mr. Bully [NCS Release] Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds Free Download/Stream: http://NCS.io/MrBully Watch: http://youtu.be/vGf8pXk3HJs #kayakfishing #kayakmotor #fishingkayaksetup #newportvessels #torqeedo #minnkota #epdl
