FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions


Will this work on my kayak?

Most kayaks can be adapted for a Kayak Buddys system. We evaluate your kayak model, weight capacity, and intended use before recommending a configuration.

How much does a complete system weigh? (23 lbs. - Built)

Weight varies by configuration, but our systems are designed to remain lightweight and well-balanced for kayak use. We prioritize efficiency without unnecessary bulk.

Is installation difficult?

Most systems are designed for straightforward installation. We provide guidance and support to ensure proper mounting and setup.

What maintenance is required?


Routine maintenance is minimal and similar to small-engine care: basic inspections, fuel system care, and general cleaning after use. Notes are provided along with a factory engine manual.

Do you ship nationwide?

Yes. We ship throughout the United States. Shipping details are provided during the quote process.

Why choose Kayak Buddys instead of a generic motor kit?

Our systems are purpose-built for kayaks — not adapted from larger boats. This results in better balance, reliability, and real-world usability.
