Motors

What is the maximum size motor that I can put on my Australis Bushranger or Swagman canoe?

Australis Canoes recommends that motor sizes of 2.5Hp petrol or 28-36 pound electric NOT BE EXCEEDED when using a motor on either the Bushranger or Swagman canoes.

What if I have a bigger size motor? Can I still use it?

Exceeding the recommended motor sizes will not make the canoe travel any faster and may actually cause it to become unsafe.
Our canoes have a maximum "hull speed" that can easily be achieved with motors of the recommended size.
