Post by: jacklam999 on September 16, 2014, 07:41:25 PM
Hi, I have got a sevylor inflatable from army and navy. But I have difficulty finding the sevylor motor mount, I tried to buy online from sevylor website, but it only ship to usa. Anyone know where can i get 1?

Have it shipped to a place like "Ship happens" in Sumas Washington and pick it up there. It costs $4 plus your time to go and get it. You may or may not have to pay duty.

Army/Gorilla Surplus on Broadway.  They always have Sevylor boats upright outfront of the store.  I bet they'd have it.

Maybe Cdn Tire?

I made one from a couple of U-bolts and a small piece of plywood.

I'll see if I can find some photos of it.

You made a spelling mistake and someone thought they would make a joke out of it. (Secular vs Sevylor)

Don't worry it wasn't very funny.

Nice,are u selling it?

I sold it with the boat a couple of years ago.

I'll have to wait until I get home to check for photos.

It was for a Sevylor Fish Hunter 400 or something similar.

80$ :'(

$80 is not a bad price. I paid $119 for mine.

Warning, they are pieces of junk, you could build a much better one in a couple hours. They are tightened by plastic knobs that are quickly stripped by the metal fittings.

I would sell that sevylor and get a real 'zodiac' style boat with a true transom, seats and just better/safer overall;

nice, did they hold tightly? because most of the mount has like 2 long metal sticks that hold near the paddle holding hole.

Kind of hard to tell in the photo because the boat isn't fully inflated but the wood is not vertical.

Once you put the electric on and are under thrust, the motor stands up straight and is pretty stable.

That Designs Better than the Original Sevylor In My Opinion.

Post by: Damien on September 18, 2014, 12:09:13 PM
It is seemingly a great deal, if I didn't already have an inflatable and an aluminum I'd be all over it.

Hypalon goodness right there.  If you check it out, pay close attention to the transome area where the fabric attaches to the wood.  Not a super hard fix if it isn't terrible.

Could be a steal if it checks out.  Avon are a top brand in hypalon inflatables.

Thank you

Wow that model that EasyWater made looks great, much more simple and effective than the Sevylor mount. I might have to steal that design from you sir.

my friend canadian tire sells the mount I believe that the intex seahawk 4 (which i have) is same as sevylor fish hunter

They are great put on the mount with minn kota 55 and i made a wooden floor so i can stand

I have taken it down the fraser all the time. Also I use a battery that is only 14lbs and give 40ah 2 batteries one to inflate and in series for 80ah
 total and its still lighter than any car battery/ deep cycle size/too heaVY.

Canadian Tire does not sell any mount that is compatible with Sevylor boats. They say so in the Q&A section of the mount you are talking about. They deal with Intex, and their mounts don't fit the Fish Hunter series.

i didnt measure the distance, but i think all sevylor has the same motor mount length
