Add Pod-Mounted Motor Power to Your Recon 120
Adding electric propulsion to a Recon 120 does not have to mean building an improvised mounting setup. The YakGadget PodMount™ Recon 120 installs at the kayak's pod area to create a dedicated mounting point for a compatible trolling motor rated at 30 pounds of thrust or less.

Real-World Performance
Once the PodMount is installed, the trolling motor attaches using the transom mount supplied with the motor. That configuration places propulsion at the Recon 120's pod area and allows the motor to be set up as fixed or steerable. The motor can also be removed from the PodMount when you do not want it on the kayak.
