Add Trolling Motor Power Through Your Bonafide Pod Area
Motorizing a Bonafide SS kayak does not have to mean building an improvised mounting setup. The YakGadget PodMount for Bonafide drops into the pod area of compatible SS107 and SS127 kayaks, creating a dedicated location for a trolling motor rated at 30 pounds of thrust or less.

Real-World Performance
Once the PodMount is seated in the compatible Bonafide pod area, the trolling motor attaches with its own transom mount. That puts propulsion within the central pod location and gives the angler the choice of a fixed or steerable configuration. When the motor is not part of the day's setup, its transom-style attachment also allows it to be removed.
Build Power Into the Pod
Use the PodMount as the mounting foundation for adding a properly sized trolling motor to your compatible Bonafide SS107 or SS127.
