Steer Your Kayak Motor from the Fishing Position
Motorized kayak fishing works better when steering fits naturally into the way you control the boat while casting, working a shoreline, or repositioning for another pass. The YakGadget QuickMount Control Arm connects to compatible motor shafts to create the steering interface for a foot-steered or pole-steered kayak motor setup.

Real-World Performance
For a foot-steered motor setup, the control arm gives the steering system a point to turn the motor shaft as you change direction. That matters when kayak fishing requires frequent course corrections—working down a bank, lining up another cast, or adjusting boat position—because steering can be incorporated into the motor-control system instead of relying on the motor itself as the hand-operated steering point.
Complete the Motor with the Steering Control You Want
Choose the Foot Steering or Pole Steering control arm to build the QuickMount motor setup around your preferred method of controlling direction from the kayak.
