Brooklyn Kayak Company BKC UH-TM315 Kayak Trolling Motor Mount - Ambidextrous Trolling Motor Mount for Quick and Easy Kayak Trolling Motor Setup (Rod Holder Mounting)

The motor rack was built sturdy, installs easily and works as described!

I love my BKC tandem kayak and was excited to add the trolling motor to it. I got this mount because it fits my kayak and doesn't require drilling any holes. (Couldn't imagine drilling holes in a brand new $1200 kayak!!!) This motor mount seems sturdy, but needs extra support to keep the poles from loosening in the holes behind the rear seat. I placed a bit of rubber sheeting to keep the poles from sliding and also added zip ties between the poles and the tie down 'D' loops right behind the holes to keep the mount in place. It's very sturdy now, but would loosen before - especially on the end opposite the motor which caused me great concern about the motor falling into the water.I, like others, also cannot figure out why the two main poles are so long?! This could only be useful if want to tie a cooler or chair-back bag to it or something; otherwise the poles make the overall height of the kayak too tall, and also make it difficult to put a cover over the whole kayak. (And, once you do the retrofit for more support, you WILL NOT be wanting to take this thing off and on.) I myself have purchased a pipe cutter (difficult to find one now that will work on stainless steel pipe vs. PVC, etc.) and will have to see if it will work to cut these pipes. And, again like others have said, the pipe ends can cut you as they come from factory as they are not filed, especially not on the inside edge so do be careful!

The media could not be loaded. The aluminum tubing is nice, I liked the way it slides into rod holders and that parts good and solid, but the motor mount itself is very flimsy. I've had it out in use once and I'm pretty sure it's about to spin around in the tubing. If it wasn't for that this would be a 5 star great product! Also in the pics in the add the bushings on the tubing and the motor mount look to be some type of white solid plastic/rubber material. What I got is black cheap plastic.

Solid aluminum pipes. Fits my 2014 Hobie Quest 13 perfectly.This DOES NOT fit my 2019 Lifetime Teaton Angler, the pole holders are inserts not molded so they are not wide enough for the pipes. Works great on my Hobie though!

The product is well made. I just used the cross tube with transom mount. The vertical parts provided are too large a diameter tubing to fit my Lifetime stealth rod holder holes. And probably most others.I made my own out of PVC to adapt to my kayak.

I have a Ascend FS10 kayak and got into lobster fishing and it was a lot of work to paddle and drop cages on a kayak so I need a trolling motor but needed a way to mount one & I didn’t want to drill holes into the kayak like the other models 👎🏻 well this one fits perfectly in the rod holders & I purchased it over 2 years ago it’s holding on like new

I was looking for a trolling motor mount for my new kayak and after looking at all the reviews, I thought it was pretty good for the price. It arrived fast and I like the quality of the bars, but the block that the trolling motor clamps onto is not what it is in some of the other pictures. In some of the other reviews it looks like it’s a hard solid heavy duty block, but I’m disappointed because when mine showed up, it’s a plastic block. Kind of feels a little too flimsy for holding a trolling motor. Other than that I think it’s awesome. But for the price you pay you think the block for the trolling motor would be a little more durable. I wonder why they changed the product but didn’t update their photos. *shrugs*For the most part I’m pretty happy with it just wish the block was what it was in the pictures.

I bought this a few months ago and had the opportunity to test it out yesterday. The mount is solid and I was able to fit it in the pole holders of a pelican kayak, but when I was adding the motor it was too much weight for the thin plastic of the kayak. The motor weighs about 23 lbs. It seems like it would work perfectly in a higher end kayak or with a lighter motor.
