- John "Toast" Oast from Fishyaker.com and the Johnson Outdoors Adventure On the Water Elite Pro Staff discusses the need to register and number your kayak or canoe when motorized. This would include both gas and electric trolling motors. For more kayak fishing and rigging videos, visit Fishyaker.com or the Fishyaker CZcams channel.

What if I use a dolphin to trolling my kayak do i have to put the sticker on kayak or dolphin?
I just talked to a DNR officer and here in Michigan yes you do even if it is only a trolling motor good for three years at around 20 dollars. the only exception is if no motor at all the canoe or kayak be less than 16 feet in length .
I think it's the same in PA. Thanks! :-)
It’s says in Ca if your water craft is larger than 8 feet you are required to register. Only if you are in a racing kayak without any accessories than you are no required .
Thanks Scott! 😊😎
Well this is unfortunate. Looks like I’ll have to be a law breaker.
;-)
In Puerto Rico, we had to register our pedal boat once we put the trolling motor on it, we follow the same laws than USA so Im guessing you need to register your kayak once you add a motor to it (electric or gas)
what if I'm using a power drill to displace water and as a causal effect propel my kayak. Do I have to register my drill or my kayak?
yup
registration is required for my kayak in my state with a trolling motor. I usually play by the rules but not in this case, piss on them. Im not painting the side of my yak, i will pay the penalty every time.
;-) :-)
Do they confiscate your vessal? I'll take a ticket and just throw it in trash but if they confiscate property i told my buddies ill sink my own boat in front of the sons of bitches before i let them take it.
Prolly stage my own boston tea party on their boat at night too like a damn pirate. Im sick of the nanny state too bro. If you roll illegal i will too. If they violate us its war Lol.
@@josephdavis8074 our own government operates like a GD thug mafia state.
A sail doesn't require a Gd registration. Neither does using a pack of fish in harnesses or a GD team of 40 squirrels swimming lol.
I bought my canoe used I want to put a trolling motor on it if I don’t have the manual where do I get the paperwork I need to register
If you hit a bill of sale, usually that will suffice, if you have a serial number on the hull. 👍
Hi how about for an inflatable fishing kayak
Yep! Unfortunately…
I'm confuse. I register my kayak because it is required for kayak that are longer then 10 feet in my state. Is this the same thing as registering a kayak with a motor or are they both different?
Depends upon the state. Some states only require registering if it has non-human powered propulsion. Others also have a length restriction for all boats.
So if it's human rowed you don't need to register?
Typically, but some states may still require a launch permit for state accesses.
Do I need lights visible all around the canoe if it is motorized? Thanks!
Motorized or not, you need a white light after dark. I have heard mixed requirements for green/red lights if motorized. Anyone know the USCG specifics?
fishyaker I’m VERY familiar, I run a 2.5 merc on my canoe. Once you register a vessel, it’s governed by that registration. You indeed need all the required equipment for said vessel, to include navigation lights, day/night signals, maybe even a fire extinguisher depending, your paperwork, maybe a throwable PFD, etc etc
what if you're using a drill with a propeller on it its neither gas or electric its battery powered lol
Yep, but a trolling motor uses a battery too.
😉😁😂
Do you have to register in a aluminum row boat
If it is motorized, yes, even if it is an electric motor.
I live in California and only use it as a row boat only no motor on it at all so can i use it in my lake amd not have it registered
Some states have certain lengths which require registration. Otherwise, if not powered, typically you don't need to. It's been over twenty years since I lived in California, so I don't really know anymore. :-(
What if my kayak is towed?
Hmmm...
@@fishyaker what if I use CUSTOM DESIGNED RC PROPULSION and tow my kayak?
@@omsteve4761 how about using drones to pull me across the bay and down the rivers?
Better yet; harness a team of cat fish; MUSH📣
@@TheBelldiver There is a video on here on a canoe or similar being towed by an remote control elec boat that was hooked up to GPS but it needed corrected manually at times. Was just done to see if it would work not because of any laws or rules.
Just another way the state can take my 40 bucks.
+1... Agreed!
Agreed Patriots... The governments taxing us to use our own property. I got an old 1960 alluminum john boat for $100 it came with paddles life jackets and an anchor. I bought a 4 hp 4 stroke motor so its quieter and better for the environment than a 2 stroke burning oil im a good dude dont rape the waters of fish. Dont trash and pollute and i buy my fishing license now i need to pat the state to use my weed wacker motor in my own bucket.
Seems like a hassle i have no title or bill of sale. Theres old numbers on it would it be best for me to scrape em off or what do u think? Its 11 ft long.
That’s a big banana on the table
Yep!!! 😁
fishyaker: Would a small pontoon fishing boat like a classic accessories Roanoke that is not rated for a trolling motor be able to be registered? I'm thinking about a DIY light weight motor and battery setup. I guess I'm trying to figure out if they normally look at any info besides the number for the boat. Thanks for any ideas or suggestions.
I am sure it could be set up for a motor, as long as, like you said, a light battery is used. :-)
@@fishyakerThanks!
You can register a tube to float down a river if you’d like. Same goes for a little 10’ recreational kayak.
Putting any motor on a kayak instantly makes it a power driven vessel under 16’ Remove the motor and leave it at home, it’s STILL governed by its registration.
👍
i registered my non motored lure 10. just for the reassurance, that i wont get shot in the face by a cop for being on the river without it being registered
Odinox ,why the hell would you get shot in the face?
