Fishing kayaks used to be paddle-driven vessels that were much less expensive than a boat, but they’ve since evolved into mini bass boats. It’s not uncommon to see fish finders, motors, LED lights, and even forward facing sonar on kayaks. I’m all for adding things to my kayak that will help me catch more fish and paddle (or peddle) less. Yet I don’t want to spend a fortune getting a kayak rigged up, so I’ve been deal hunting on Amazon Prime Day to find great deals on kayak accessories.
Here’s what I found.
Newport Vessels NK180 Kayak Trolling Motor w/Mounting and Steering Bracket Kit is 15 percent Off
This kit from Newport comes with everything you need to motorize your kayak. It has steering cables, throttle control with kill switch, the motor (1.8 hp), and the mount included in the kit—just add a 24V deep cycle, lithium battery. You could also string together two, 12V batteries. The kit plus a battery will run you about $1,500. Compare that to a Torqeedo which will run you about $2,500 for the kit.
