Mast Compatibility:
True universal compatibility requires a high level of customization without the need of additional adaptors. To achieve this, the three rubber straps have been specifically measured to fit almost every mast currently in the market*! Alongside these three lengths, the Inner Pod features a “Ladder” style adjustment system with 7 positions. Once you have selected your strap length, move the Strap up or down the ladder to adjust tension specific to your mast. A simple solution to a complex requirement that leads us to full customization and compatibility.
* While the Universal Motor Pod has seen extensive R&D and testing, there will be some masts that fall outside of compatibility due to their unique size or shape
Tech Specs
- Install Type: Toolless and instant-latching. Inner Pod requires one time mounting to the motor using provided M4 x 16mm mounting to the motor using motor-mounted).
- Strap Dimensions: Dimensions are a guide only and can be used against the width (chord) of your mast. Small: 95-110mm Medium 112-128mm and Large 130-145mm are provided. MOST masts in the market utilize the Medium Strap. See FAQ for more on mast compatibility.
- Materials: The Outer and Inner Pod are injection moulded from ABS, built to handle sun, salt, and repeated use. The straps are EPDM rubber reinforced with Aramid fibre, giving them the strength and flexibility to hold up against typical UV degradation and saltwater environments.
How it works
The three-component system pairs an Inner Pod mounted to the V2 Motor with a removable Outer Pod that conforms to your mast profile, just like conventional pods. Both components secure onto the mast using a durable EPDM and Aramid Fibre-reinforced rubber strap, available in three sizes. The compact design cuts wetted surface area, significantly reducing drag and surface turbulence typical of standard universal mounts. The result is noticeably improved motor grip, smoother water contact, quicker launches, and more controlled touchdowns.
