ENGINES & ACCESSORIES

Our team has tested many engines, configurations and accessories as part of the development process of the RackRider 3.7. Though at this stage we don’t supply accessories or engines we do have recommendations which we have listed below.

OUTBOARD ENGINES

The RackRider 3.7 is designed for short shaft engines in the 4 to 6hp range. Check out our test data for the right engine size and configuration for your boat:

Yamaha 6hp

Please note that Yamaha’s 4, 5 and 6hp engines are all the same except for state of tune.

RAILBLAZA QUICKPORTS

Railblaza Quickports are base mounts that stick onto the boat with no drilling required (drilling exposes the foam core to possible water ingress). They accept lots of other attachments that can be found here:

NB;  This is what we’re using to haul the boat around after getting it off the roof:

TILLER EXTENSION

The engine works best with a tiller extension:

FUEL TANK

An 11 litre fuel tank can be easily carried around when full and gives a range of over 100km:

RATCHET STRAPS

A pair of 35mm ratchet straps are all that is required to secure the boat to a pair of standard roof racks:
