WARNINGS:

  • PLEASE READ MANUAL BEFORE USE. Safety lanyard must be attached before powering off device.
  • Safety lanyard must also be attached to user, in order to shut down motor in case of falling from watercraft.
  • Make sure all wires are correctly connected and fully engaged. Make sure batteries are fully charged.
  • Test all connections and motor at home, before going for actual water run. Do not run longer that few minutes outside of water.
  • Do NOT pull on wires of quick disconnect clips to disengage. Use disconnect clip body for that.
  • Do NOT submerge battery box into the water. While motor and remote are water resistant, battery box is splash resistant.
  • Electric Fins set come with controller already paired. No need to pair before use. 
  • Do NOT open or alter components without consulting us first.
  • Do NOT tighten too much power cable, charging cable, and protection caps over power and charging ports of Li battery dry box. That can make it difficult to unscrew, and as result can loosen internal nut holding power or charging port inside dry box body. Do NOT overtighten cables or caps.

IMPORTANT:

  • To prolong motor life, flash motor with a fresh water for at least 2-3 minutes, after each use in a salt water. Best if motor run for 2-3 min in fresh water. 
  • Make sure contacts of power cable are clean and not corroded. Remove residue if needed. Bag contact connection can prevent motor from running.

QUICK TIPS:

  • Use kayak or SUP paddle, or just lower one foot into water to steer watercraft. Keep one paddle end under armpit with other end trailing in a water, to act as improvised rudder. Adjust direction by pushing on paddle.
  • Avoid seaweed patches. If seaweed does get into prop, run motor in reverse to push it out. Or, get to shallows to clear up manually from motor grill. Grill can also be removed if needed, by removing 2 smalls crews and pulling out.
Select Configuration:
Electric Fin + Lithium Battery

I bought the motor and battery box. The internal size of the battery box is smaller than I hoped. The available space for a battery is 6.5" width, 9.5" length, 5" depth. I was hoping for enough space to fit a 24V 30ah battery but it's too small. If you're looking to store batteries with better operating time, dont get it. Too bad, because it's a pretty good box.

I really like this thing. I have it on a Vibe SeaGhost 110 and with foot rudder control, steering is a breeze. Speed is fine on normal mode and once I get the Vibe gravity rudder reverse will work. I purchased the on with the lithium battery. I wish there was a meter to show how much power is left. I also wish I could buy a second battery but you can’t. Overall I would recommend just don’t get the lithium batter kit that way you can add as many as you like.

What a great product! Now I have to buy another one for my wife's inflatable Saturn Kayak!

Held up on my last fishing trip. I hit multiple children with my boat but it still resisted the blows. Great quality product!

This is a very feature-rich item, I took the time to read through the product description and found a lot of great things before buying.

It's surprisingly fast, especially in sport mode, I am very lightweight and it felt like I was going almost 10mph, although running it full throttle all the time does use up the battery quicker.

I really like the security feature that makes sure it does not run away from me, I just clip it to my foot in case I fall off or something happens.

It's a really nice product for an extremely good price, I can highly recommend it.

Lightweight but very strong, specially with the right battery configuration, I put two 12v batteries in series for 24 volts, it runs really well even up to 30 mins, it was a joy to use and I highly recommend it. I also messed up and did not realize I could buy a battery box from Boatstogo, that will be my next upgrade since I was keeping them in a small cooler.

I was a bit skeptical at first but boy is this thing fun, It's really well built. It looks awesome and is very easy to use, I was a bit worried at first but simple buttons on a wireless watch that you wear to make it really easy. It was also pretty straight forward to install.
