HOOKED ON FISHIN R UFishing Gear for the Fishermen

What is the best way to set up a trolling motor on a fishing kayak?

I want to put a trolling motor on my kayak to make it pretty much hands free. Where u he eat place to put it? If there is any way to neatly put a foot controlled trolling motor on it, that woul be even better?

if you have a sit upon kayak here is a great idea using a plastic crate with a motor mount affixed on it. the battery fits in the crate which is mounted in the kayak behind your seat.
