Key Features

Minn Kota 45 lb. Thrust Motor

The saltwater-ready 12V Minn Kota motor delivers 45 lb. of thrust to provide efficient motorized propulsion on the water. The motor is designed to help anglers travel to and from fishing areas with less physical effort.

Spot-Lock Technology

Integrated Spot-Lock technology uses GPS positioning to help hold the kayak in place despite wind and current. This allows you to maintain your position while keeping your hands available to:

• Cast
• Fight fish
• Change lures
• Manage tackle
• Work fishing equipment

Bluetooth i-Pilot Remote

The Bluetooth-connected i-Pilot remote allows anglers to command the kayak with convenient thumb-operated controls. The remote-based control system makes it easier to manage propulsion and positioning while concentrating on fishing.

Hands-Free Steering

The motor works together with foot-brace steering to provide hands-free directional control and maneuverability. This configuration allows you to steer while keeping your hands available for fishing.

Motor & Transport Features

Lift Assist

A lift-assist system helps make deploying and stowing the motor easier, particularly when navigating shallow water or launching and landing.

Removable Motor Console

The 24 lb. motor console can be removed for transportation. A console floor plug can be stored in the tankwell and used to help keep water out when the motor is removed or when the kayak is being paddled.

Kill Switch Key & Prop Wrench

The kill switch key provides motor safety functionality while also storing the spare prop pin and serving as a prop wrench.

Battery Compatibility

The AutoPilot 136 is compatible with both:

• Lead-acid batteries
• Lithium-ion batteries

The battery box is included as part of the system.

Premium Seating

Adjustable Element Seating System

The premium seating system is designed for all-day comfort and can be positioned in either a high or low configuration. The dual-layer Textilene construction is durable, UV resistant, easy to clean, and naturally breathable. A middle layer of 3D mesh adds cushioning and comfort without compromising Textilene's breathability. The seat is removable for easier transportation.

Fishing-Ready Cockpit

Large Open Cockpit

The spacious open cockpit provides plenty of room to organize tackle, equipment, and fishing accessories while maintaining a practical platform for casting and landing fish.

Aft Tankwell

The large rear tankwell provides additional storage space for tackle, gear, batteries, and other fishing essentials.

Custom Tackle Box

A custom tackle box is included to help organize fishing equipment.

Accessory Mounting

Four 18-Inch Accessory Tracks

Four 18-inch accessory tracks provide flexible mounting locations for compatible fishing accessories and electronics. The tracks are positioned to allow convenient on/off accessory mounting without overcrowding the cockpit.

Shallow-Water Anchor Mounting

Integrated mounting inserts provide compatibility with shallow-water anchor systems.

Rod Storage

The AutoPilot 136 includes four flush-mounted rod holders:

• Two forward-facing rod holders
• Two rear-facing rod holders

The holders remain conveniently accessible while staying out of the way when not in use.

Comfortable & Secure Standing Platform

Non-Slip EVA Deck Pads

Non-slip EVA foam deck pads provide additional traction and standing comfort throughout the cockpit. The padded deck creates a more secure surface for anglers who prefer to stand while casting and fishing.

Rudder & Maneuverability

Extra-Large Rudder

The oversized rudder provides enhanced boat control in both forward and reverse, supporting maneuverability while navigating fishing areas.

Fish Finder & Electronics Ready

The AutoPilot 136 is designed to simplify electronics installation without requiring drilling into the kayak.

Integrated Wiring & Transducer Mounting

The kayak includes:

• Three through-hull wiring kits
• Universal transducer mount
• Fish-finder installation compatibility

These features allow anglers to install compatible fish-finding electronics efficiently while maintaining a clean kayak setup.
