It weighs about 3 lb, which matters if you are keeping overall rig weight under control on a smaller hull.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the mount only. It does not include the trolling motor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade specifically for the Garmin Force Current kayak trolling motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting base and fastening hardware for a bolted install on a kayak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreates a stable mounting point that helps keep alignment consistent when deploying and stowing the motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbout 3 lb total kit weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanical accessory that does not change your 12V or 24V electrical setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis mount base kit is intended for a Force Current kayak trolling motor, not as a universal bracket for other motors. Before ordering, confirm your motor model is Force Current and plan for a mounting surface that is flat where the base will sit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost kayak installs work best when you can reach the underside of the mounting area for proper support and tightening. If your hull flexes in that area, spreading the load with appropriate backing material can help keep the mount from working loose over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eDry-fit the base first to confirm clearance for the motor in both the deployed and stowed positions, and make sure the stern area gives the mount a clean overhang where needed. Once you are happy with placement, mark and drill carefully and seal any penetrations so water stays out of the hull.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter the first few trips, re-check fastener tightness. Vibration from trailering and normal on-water use can settle hardware into plastic and composite surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor saltwater use, a quick freshwater rinse and a wipe-down around the moving areas of the mount helps keep grit and dried salt from building up. Periodically inspect the base and hardware for looseness, especially after transport, beach landings, or any impact to the motor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis kit is a practical match for kayak anglers and small-boat owners running a Force Current who want a clean, bolted-down mount at the stern. It also fits well as a straightforward replacement when an existing base has been damaged or worn from heavy use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269751271605,"sku":"QBP082024","price":124.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1301241_qbp082024.webp?v=1771545547","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp082024","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
