Bonafide PWR129 Minn Kota Terrova 12v 55lb Bow-Mount Trolling Motor Build

A complete bow mount kit, featuring the Minn Kota Kayak Terrova 36" 12v 55lb motor, to get your Bonafide PWR129 rigged-and-ready. This a full bow-mount build wired to marine standard, installed by our shop, and ready to fish the day you pick it up.

Note: Motorization kit only. The Bonafide PWR129 fishing kayak not included.

Power up front, where it belongs

The Minn Kota Kayak Terrova bow motor sits on a Ketch PWR129 bow mount built specifically for this hull. 55 lbs of thrust on a 36" shaft keeps the prop buried in chop without dragging bottom in the skinny stuff. The Micro Remote puts steering, speed, and trim in your hand — or on the lanyard around your neck — so you can run the boat while your rod stays in the other hand.

Pulling the motor takes seconds, not tools. The MKA-21 composite quick-release bracket lets the whole unit come off the bow for transport, storage, or a paddle-only day.

Wired like a boat, not a project

Everything downstream of the motor is done to marine spec:

• Marinco 70A trolling motor plug and receptacle, sealed with a Ketch gasket cut for this deck — one clean connection, no exposed terminals
• Ancor 6/2 tinned marine duplex cable run through internal routing, so nothing snags a line or bakes in the sun
• Blue Sea 7184 60A resettable circuit breaker, surface mounted and accessible — real overcurrent protection, not an inline fuse you'll never find again
• Ancor heavy-duty crimped lugs at every termination

Battery that lasts the day

A 12V 100Ah slim-profile LiFePO4 battery with Bluetooth monitoring drops into a Group 24 vented Attwood box and locks down with a dedicated PWR129 tie-down strap — no sliding, no shifting when you lean into a turn. Check your remaining charge from your phone without opening the hatch. Ships with a 12V 10A LiFePO4 charger sized to bring it back overnight.

Also included

• Motor lift/release kit with internal routing for one-hand deploy and stow
• Professional rigging and installation by our shop, tested on the water before handoff

Pick it up ready to run. No wiring diagrams, no parts runs, no "I'll finish it next weekend."
