Seahorse Electric Kontiki – The World’s Most Successful Beach Longline Fishing System
Designed and engineered in Tauranga, New Zealand, and tested in some of the harshest beach conditions, the Seahorse Electric Kontiki is a revolutionary beach longline fishing system. Whether operated single-handedly or with family and friends, this advanced kontiki allows you to fish where and when you want, powering through all weather conditions. After extensive design, development, and hundreds of hours of testing, the latest Seahorse Kontiki model is here, offering ease of use, increased reliability, and unmatched performance.
Key Features:
- Two Kontiki Models: Choose between the powerful, two-speed white 46lb thrust motor or the lightweight, easy-to-use black 30lb thrust motor, depending on your fishing needs.
- 46lb Thrust Seahorse Kontiki: Designed to handle massive surf and strong rips, the Seahorse 46lb is New Zealand's only proven 46lb thrust kontiki.
- Two-Speed Control: Provides full power for tough surf or half-speed for calmer conditions, maximizing distance while maintaining ease of use.
- Mercury 46lb Motor: Swings a 3-blade propeller, offering torque and pull to handle surf, rips, and rough conditions.
- Waterproof Design: The unique double-sealing hatch guarantees a watertight seal, and the internal components, including batteries, are fully sealed for maximum protection from sand, salt, and water.
- Advanced Electronic Control Unit: Offers features like stall protection and recovery, battery management, and a magnetic external operation system.
- Forward-Mounted Rudder: Provides enhanced directional control, pulling the kontiki into the current for precise performance.
- High Visibility Flag & Automatic Strobe Light: Ensures visibility in different lighting conditions, including at night.
Specifications:
