Torqeedo Ultralight 402

8. Starting up
There are three options for connecting the drive to your kayak:
A No connection of the motor to the kayak’s steering system: When travelling with
the motor you must either steer using the paddle or with a rudder that is not
connected to the motor. With this option it is not possible to move in tight circles
using the motor. This type of attachment is recommended if your kayak does not
have a steering system or if you only need the motor for
support or as a back-up on long tours (and do not have
Kayak rudder
to move in tight circles).

B Connecting the motor instead of the rudder to the kayak’s steering system: With
this attachment option you can move your kayak very easily using the motor; but
the rudder is not available when the motor is not in use.
