Quick Tip: Use kayak cart to move FSUP board around. Place kayak cart under bow area of FSUP, and secure with bungee cords to D-rings on top of board. Use rear handles to pull FSUP behind or push forward. Cut out in rear of FSUP board is perfect for this purpose.
FAQ:
Question: Does trolling motor shaft should touch edge of board when installed on motor mount?
Answer: Yes, that is design feature, to allow additional support for heavier motors when attached to the motor mount. Motor shaft should freely rest against edge of surface of the FSUP board. Working prop that moves board forward creates lever, pulling heavily on a motor mount secured to D-rings. Without additional support excessive force could damage D-rings fittings. Rotating motor shaft resting against surface of board will not damage it, as most of the movements are minimal and it is heavy-duty fabric. However, if shaft rotates hundred times per seconds, then additional PVC patch can be glued to that edge for extra protection. For easiest set up, we recommend to tighten shaft lock in forward position, and use paddle to steer board when moving, instead of steering with a motor tiller. While you can choose to steer with motor tiller handle, we believe the best way is to steer with paddle that act as a rudder.
