DIY Kayak Trolling Motor Retrofit ($160)

In this video, I detail how I upgraded my Perception Outlaw 11.5 Kayak with a Minn Kota Endura 30lb trolling motor. All in, I spent about $160 to make the change and my only regret is that I didn't make this upgrade sooner! It has completely changed how I use the kayak, along with how often I take it on the lake.

Parts Used for the Upgrade:

Minn Kota Endura 30lb trolling motor: $90

DC Breaker (50 amps): $30

SeaFlo Hatch with detachable cover: $10

Battery Box: $12 (Fleet Farm)
Misc. fasteners / sheetmetal / wiring / scrap wood: $20

NOTE: The retrofit concepts I detail in this video aren't exclusive to Perception Kayaks so don't hesitate to think outside the box and try something similar with your kayak/canoe!
