The speed of a motorized kayak is closely related to the current, engine power, and weight of the kayak. Generally speaking, every 10 pounds of thrust can push about 100 pounds of gravity, and most motorized generators can reach a maximum speed of 5 mph when the current is relatively stable. But if the current is too swift, then the motorized kayak may only go 3 to 4 miles per hour.

2. Differences between motorized kayaks and ordinary kayaks

(1) Structural differences: Because motorized kayaks have to be fitted with heavier components such as electric motors, the structure of motorized kayaks is stronger, more complex and more load bearing than that of ordinary kayaks. Compared with ordinary kayaks, motorized kayaks are designed with a special area for the power unit.

(2) Difference in the way of operation: the operation of ordinary kayaks relies on manpower, human paddling to make the kayak move. While the motorized kayak starts by relying on gravity devices such as engines, which saves manpower.

(3) The difference in the direction of use: ordinary kayaks are mainly used for competitions and fishing, but with the development of the economy, more and more people choose to use motorized kayaks to go fishing. Unlike ordinary kayaks, motorized kayaks are often used for sea patrol and flood rescue because they are more convenient.

(4) Cost difference: Because motorized kayaks need to install a power unit and have a more complex structure, the cost is much higher than that of ordinary kayaks.

4. How to choose motorized kayak motor battery

(1) Battery quality: kayaks are often in a wet environment on the water, compared to other batteries are more prone to corrosion, shorter life, so we have to pay special attention to the performance of the motor battery when choosing.

(2) Battery capacity: Generally, we should choose a larger capacity battery, so that the kayak can have a longer range, to prevent the kayak from stopping working on the way.

(3) Safety and environmental protection: When choosing a battery, it is important to consider the safety performance and the impact on the environment to ensure both their own safety and environmental friendliness.

In summary, in the choice of batteries, I suggest giving priority to lithium-ion batteries, because lithium-ion batteries have a longer life than lead-acid batteries, higher energy density, and more environmentally friendly.

5. Advantages and disadvantages of motorized kayaks

Advantages:

(1) Fast moving and easier to use.

(2) Universally applicable in oceans, lakes, and rivers;

Disadvantages:

(1) Requires regular inspection, maintenance, and if there is a failure, maintenance is more troublesome;

(2) Higher costs when purchasing, and higher maintenance costs later;

(3) It may cause some pollution to the environment, and the noise produced by the engine may affect the life of aquatic organisms.

CONCLUSION:

Motorized kayaks are faster and provide a lot of convenience for water activities, especially for people who love fishing, motorized kayaks are very good fishing partners.
