Do you carry additional flotation for the outboard in the event of capsizing? I expect its weight would sink the canoe to the bottom if it every capsized. I have a 15 foot Grumman squareback canoe with a Mercury 3.5 HP outboard and a 45 lbs Minn Kota trolling motor
Nice.
Thanks
Love a canoe
I do too. I have many watercraft. But I enjoy the canoe the best.

There is floatation in the front and back. It is rated for the weight of the whole craft.
Mine is a 17ft square stern. The motor weighs 28 lbs. But I have never capsized the canoe in 48 years.
