Adding electric propulsion to your Shearwater 125 does not have to mean improvising a motor mount around the kayak. The YakGadget PodMount™ for Vibe Shearwater 125 with Splash Plate fits the kayak's pod area and creates a dedicated mounting point for compatible transom-mount trolling motors rated at 40 lb of thrust or less.
The PodMount places the trolling motor in the Shearwater 125's pod area, giving anglers a removable propulsion configuration rather than permanently dedicating the stern to this mounting job. Once the PodMount is installed, the trolling motor attaches with its own transom mount, making it practical to remove the motor when preparing the kayak for transport or a different propulsion setup.
Add the PodMount when you want a dedicated path to compatible electric propulsion while keeping the Shearwater 125's configurable approach to rigging.
