Abstract:
Systems and methods for mounting and controlling a motor on a kayak are disclosed. A motor may be mounted to a kayak by a single interface on the kayak and rotated using foot pegs. The control system provides for responsive input and automatic directional stabilization of the motor.

Claim (Index 20):
A motor control system for controlling a motor on a watercraft, the system comprising:\n a motor steering apparatus comprising a plurality of watercraft peg linkages connected respectively to a plurality of foot pegs, a plurality of stabilizing members, a rotational member, and a plurality of stabilizing springs, the spring members each having a starting position and configured to couple respectively with the plurality of watercraft peg linkages, the rotational member having a starting rotational position and coupled with the plurality of stabilizing members, the rotational member configured to couple with a motor so that movement of the stabilizing member in a first direction rotates the rotational member in a first rotation direction, wherein rotation of the rotational member in the first rotation direction rotates the motor in a first motor rotation direction sufficient to steer the watercraft in a first direction, the plurality of stabilizing springs being coupled with the rotational member, wherein upon decreasing a first pressure applied to one of the plurality of watercraft foot pegs, one of the plurality of stabilizing springs rotates the rotational member in a second rotation direction and moves the stabilizing member in a second direction opposite the first direction, and wherein upon removing the first pressure applied to the one of the plurality of watercraft peg linkages, the stabilizing spring rotates the rotational member to the starting rotational position and displaces the stabilizing member to the starting position; a motor mount apparatus configured to be disposed rearward of an operator of the watercraft and having a first end configured to attach to the watercraft and a second end configured to attach to the motor steering apparatus, wherein a channel extends through the mount and receives electrical wiring through the channel that connects to the motor; and an electrical unit comprising a motor throttle control configured to connect to the wiring to control the motor.
