GALAXY KAYAKS POER34lb electric trolling motor
In recent weeks I have been asked by several members about using
trolling motors as a way of getting to the fishing areas and
keeping yourself in the target area for more time while fishing
having had a talk with graham from GALAXY KAYAKS he suggested I try
out one of his motors I agreed in a flash and 24hours later I had a
motor in my hand ready to start this review.
This is my review of the GALAXY KAYAKS POER34lb electric trolling
motor
The poer 34lb trolling motor weighs just 6.55kg the first thing you
notice is the packaging this motor is superbly packaged in a thick
cardboard outer box with inserts inside to keep everything safe
while in transit.
the motor is made from the highest quality components and mouldings
available.
This motor has new special long life battery circuitry which makes
the batteries run for longer than many other electric
motors
The head section of the motor has a large very easy to read digital display showing battery life and gear position this is great as it tells you exactly how much battery power you have left when its being used and what gear speed you are in
The whole thing has a top quality feel to it ergonomically designed to be easy to use and looks very stylish.
The display is very clear and easy to understand
The tiller arm has clear positions printed on it for neutral 5 forward gears and 2 reverse gears it can be used in the short position or pulled out to the long position to make it easy to reach when out on the kayak
At the end of the tiller arm is a soft rubberised grip which is shaped to almost a square this is to aid grip while using with wet hands
The engines shaft has 2 locking collars one on the
mounting bracket and the other on the shaft so the amount of shaft
you have in the water can be adjusted very quickly and
easily.
There is also a quick realise button which allows you to alter the
angle of the engine in the water
The engine mount has 2 large tough screw clamps on it so it can very quickly be mounted and dismounted
The mount is made from a tough moulded plastic this makes it very strong and lightweight
The engines prop head is a mixture of plastic and pre
cast metal this is done to ensure long life the engine comes with a
spare prop and shear pin assembly this is the first time I have
known an engine come with a spare prop but it’s a great advantage
to the angler.
this is a top quality product in every way I found it very easy to
use and set up the great thing to me was how quickly and easily it
can be adjusted on the water this is sure to become the anglers
choice in trolling motors
