Are the motorized kayaks ready to use out of the box?
Yes, BKC offers several models that arrive fully equipped with a built-in trolling motor, as well as a seat, paddle, and other essential accessories. You can hit the water right away with no additional modification of installations. Just look for the “motorized or pedal” flag at the top of each product.
Do I need to register my motorized kayak with the authorities?
In most states, yes, you will need to register any kayak equipped with a trolling motor, or any other type of motor. While pedal or paddle craft are usually exempt from registration, adding a motor requires documentation. Rules and requirements vary by state, so be sure to check your local regulations. You will need to have your manufacturer’s certificate of origin and bill of sale ready when registering.
Is the motor salt water rated?
Yes, the motor is salt water rated however we do recommend cleaning and rinsing off with fresh water after each use.
Can I add additional equipment, like a fish finder, to the motorized kayaks?
Yes, most BKC models come with gear racks and are compatible with accessories like fish finders, rod holders, and other gear. Product details and mounting locations are usually given for each model to make installation a snap.
What is the weight capacity and material of the kayaks with a motor?
The typical weight capacity of a BKC motorized kayak is 420-550 pounds. While these are the outer limits, it is wise to restrict your paddler & gear weight to about 75% of that for optimal handling. These kayaks are built from durable, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) to ensure long-lasting performance when properly maintained.
