Adding electric propulsion is easier when the stern already has the right mounting foundation. The YakGadget QuickMount MK attaches at supported Power-Pole mounting locations and creates a transom-style mounting point for a compatible trolling motor.

At the launch, install the QuickMount MK on the kayak's supported rear mounting location, then clamp the trolling motor to the mount using the motor's transom bracket. When the trip is over, the removable arrangement makes it easier to break down the propulsion setup instead of transporting the kayak with the complete motor assembly left in place.
Choose the QuickMount MK configuration matched to your kayak and build the propulsion setup around a dedicated, removable motor-mounting point.
YakGadget currently lists configurations for select Bonafide, Crescent, Hobie, Jackson, Kaku, Native, and Vibe kayaks. Choose the exact kayak option listed for your model rather than assuming that a shared mounting area makes every configuration interchangeable.
Once the QuickMount MK is installed, the trolling motor attaches using the transom mount supplied with the motor. This lets the motor clamp to the QuickMount rather than directly to the kayak hull.
Published installation instructions list the QuickMount transom base motor mount, four 1/4"-20 threaded rods, and four knobs. The threaded rods and knobs secure the mount at the supported rear mounting location.
No. Published QuickMount MK installation instructions state that the mount is not rated for motors over 55 lb. thrust.
Yes. The system is designed so the motor and mount can be removed, making it easier to break down the stern propulsion setup for travel.
