tkrrox Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 On 8/16/2015 at 10:45 AM, Neil McCauley said: My canoe: -Old Town Guide 14'7" -MinnKota C2 55lb trolling motor -Bullnose TM Rudder -Kipawa deep pitch weedless propeller -Kayak Fin Skeg mounted at the bow end -Kayalu Kayalite Navigation lights -custom motor mount Fin skeg at the front end has improved tracking somewhat. It can maintain course a lot better with a headwind. It would probably work better if it was mounted more forward but the bottom of the boat isn't quite flat enough past this. Attached the skeg to the hull with JB weld epoxy. The first job was kind of half assed and it actually came off. Second time I made sure to sand it down, clean it, blow torch it, and used a lot more epoxy. Much stronger now. C2 55lb is about as much thrust as my canoe mount will take. It is abut 4.0-4.2 mph on a full battery in calm water according to my navionics. Mount I made out of maple and has held up well the past 4-5 years. No concerns about anything coming loose but I do keep a safety rope tied to the motor just in case. If you ever make a mount like this for a canoe make sure to use 1/2" or bigger carriage bolts. I think mine are 5/8. It's important because you need to torque them down every trip out without stripping the threads. Maple or another quality hardwood is important too. Pine will definitely not last, and anything plastic will warp. Don't think any commercial products will hold up long. Bullnose rudder has helped with turning, adjusting the direction of the boat when going longer distances. The Kipawa prop is deeper pitch so acceleration is less, top speed is more. Kayalu Kayalite Navigation lights from amazon. Nav lights will last about 72 hrs on AAs I'll have to post a pic of what i did on my canoe next time i get it out. I made a front skeg with a bracket at the front nose of the canoe. Then i attached a line to it so i could lift it when really shallow, going through grass or beaching worked out great for windy days. Quote

I have seen a few skeg set-ups. I gave up on the fin underneath mine for now, it is just too much of a PITA trying to launch from shore with it. Quote
