The initial mock-up of the Autoboat GPS Pro Anchor System to the stock T-Bar mount for the BKC kayak. Note: the pulley system interfered with the 360° rotation required for Spot-Lock so, that was removed. Otherwise, the system worked as advertised. More to come!

    Had to remove the pulley from the eye bolt in the motor head for it wrapped itself around and impeded the shaft from rotating. Instead, I'm just looping the orange parachute cord around the shaft which allows the shaft to rotate freely. Im still able to lift the motor out of the water this way.

    Update: I had a 380mm (15") Length x 25mm" ID x 29mm OD" clamshell sleeve" 3D printed up to increase the smaller 1" diameter shaft trolling motors. In this case, I'm using the Watersnake 34lb Venom. I ended up only using 9" of the sleeve to accommodate the Autoboat collar/motor and the GPS adapter by roughing up the powder coat on the trolling motor shaft with a file, brushed on super glue on both surfaces, then attached the sleeve. Below the Autoboat collar/motor is still the original 1" shaft where my T-mount attaches to. So far, everything is SOLID out on the water.
  • Love it. I have a new pk13. Looks like I’ll have to swap out the short shank cheap motor. Thanks for the video
