Watersnake ASP T24 SW Transom Motor

Description

The Watersnake ASP T24 SW Transom Motor with Kayak Bracket is a lightweight propulsion option for kayaks and small canoes, designed to take the effort out of paddling against tidal currents, river flows, or a stiff headwind. It is the most compact motor in the Watersnake range, delivering 24lb of thrust and engineered to handle both saltwater and freshwater. The included kayak bracket makes mounting to a craft straightforward and secure. A simple high and low speed control, along with a forward and reverse switch, makes navigating tight creeks or holding position over a reef intuitive. Marine-grade features include a corrosion-resistant alloy shaft, a stainless steel propeller shaft, and a sacrificial anode to protect the motor in saltwater use. Where it suits UK kayak anglers: - Estuaries and saltwater sea lochs: ideal for coastal flats, tidal estuaries, and sheltered bays when hunting bass, pollack, and flatfish without wearing yourself out paddling against the tide. - Large inshore reservoirs and lakes: suited to covering vast expanses of freshwater when trolling for big pike or searching for deep-water perch and zander. - Sluggish rivers and navigation canals: useful for moving between spots on larger river systems or canal stretches, letting you focus on your casting presentation. Specifications: - Thrust: 24lb - 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 - Included Accessories: Heavy-duty Kayak Bracket and Sacrificial Anode - Handle Type: Retractable extension handle Can this motor handle saltwater use without corroding? Yes. The ASP SW (Saltwater) series is built for the sea, with an alloy shaft, a stainless steel propeller shaft, and a built-in sacrificial anode that absorbs the brunt of electrical corrosion. A quick rinse with fresh water after every saltwater session will keep it in good condition. What kind of battery do I need? The Watersnake T24 runs on a standard 12-volt system. You will need a deep-cycle marine battery or a modern 12V lithium trolling motor battery. A 50Ah to 100Ah battery will give you plenty of runtime for a full day of mixed paddling and motoring. Is the bracket difficult to fit to a standard sit-on-top fishing kayak? No. The included kayak bracket is designed to adapt easily to standard transom setups or existing motor mount areas found on most modern fishing kayaks, with adjustable clamping and securing points to make installation simple. How does the weedless propeller handle heavy weed and kelp? The two-blade weedless propeller is shaped to shed underwater grass, kelp, and lily pads rather than letting them wrap around the hub. It handles standard structure well, and if you do get into exceptionally thick, solid weed beds, a quick pop into reverse usually clears the blades instantly.
