Infinitely variable speed control allows you to hit the perfect pace for trolling. And if that wasn't enough, this quiet motor also has reverse capability to allow you to easily maneuver in and out of tight spots. Not in the mood to motor around? Not to worry. The motor can easily be removed for transport or swapped out with a skeg plug. The Torque takes kayak fishing to the next level.
