With all the comfort and convenience of an Ultimate™ plus the versatility of a Multisport kayak, the Ultimate™ 12 Volt™ is perfect for anyone who wants a small, agile watercraft that can travel quickly but is still convenient for a soloist. Reach new distances and see unexplored areas without sacrificing the comfort of a personal watercraft. MULTISPORT VOLT ELECTRIC MOTOR SYSTEMA unique salt water electric drive defines a new green alternative for boaters interested in traveling quickly to a destination to paddle or pole, fish, bird watch or take photographs. Operating this model costs roughly 4.5 cents per mile - a far cry from traditional motorized boats. Plus you experience unprecedented control with the drive unit located in front of you and you can travel up to approximately 5 MPH. Reverse capability and a tight turning radius makes subtle turning and backing up easier than ever. The unit installs and uninstalls quickly during transport or can be swapped out for one of the other Multisport propulsion systems. Even on the water, if you want to paddle or pole for a distance, the unit raises and rests out of the way easily and safely due to the automatic cutoff switch. The sturdy Volt™ system will maintain its high performance level no matter what waterways you choose to travel. The marine grade anodized aluminum, stainless steel components, and a non-corrosive epoxy finish are protect the unit even during salt water use. This unit also includes a drive box cover to keep water from splashing into the hull through the dive box, a batter box that fits behind your seat and the wiring harness to connect the motor and the battery.
