Watersnake ASP T18 SW Transom Motor

Description

The Watersnake ASP T18 SW Transom Motor is the smallest and lightest motor in the Watersnake range, delivering 18lb of thrust for use on smaller angling kayaks, coracles, and canoes where a heavier motor could compromise stability. Despite its compact size, it is built to marine-grade standards with a fully saltwater-ready construction, including a corrosion-resistant alloy shaft, a stainless steel propeller shaft, and a sacrificial anode to combat galvanic corrosion. Operation is straightforward, with high and low speed controls and an instant forward/reverse switch. The adjustable transom mount attaches to a craft's stern or motor mount, and an anti-impact clip system helps protect the transom if the motor strikes an obstruction in the shallows. A retractable handle aids steering, while the weedless two-blade propeller allows quiet access to tight fishing spots. This motor suits a range of UK micro-adventure angling scenarios, including sheltered estuaries and saltwater creeks for shallow-water bass and mullet, small lakes and fens for pike, perch, or tench, and slow-flowing rivers for float fishing or lure casting. The standard transom-mount version attaches to a flat transom, standard motor block, or square bar mount; a separate kayak mount bar or bracket is needed if the kayak lacks a flat transom. Its low amp draw means a full day of stop-and-start fishing is achievable on a standard 50Ah deep-cycle battery, and it runs for a very long time on the low speed setting. It is intended for flat water, sheltered estuaries, canals, and calm coastal bays, not heavy sea currents or high winds. The handle extends for comfortable reach while seated and retracts for storage. - Thrust: 18lb - Voltage: 12V - Shaft Length: 24 inches (approx. 61cm) - Shaft Material: Corrosion-Resistant Alloy - Propeller Shaft: Stainless Steel - Propeller Type: 2-Blade Weedless Design - Speed Settings: High / Low (Forward and Reverse) - Water Type: Saltwater and Freshwater compatible - Mount: Adjustable Transom Mount with Anti-Impact Clip - Handle Type: Retractable extension handle - Corrosion Protection: Built-in Sacrificial Anode
