Why replace the nearly unbreakable paracord with a steel cable that will undoubtedly rust and break over time? I've replaced stainless lines twice and going to a braided line is an upgrade lol. Never going back to cables.

I used Jagwire Slick MTB brake cables with lined housings for my first build. 10 years and they were still holding up well. Definitely don’t skimp on the cables. My new setup is with 500lb test zero stretch monoline, see how it holds up.

With the trolling motor in the front, do you have issues with the way the boat tracks? I plan on doing the same but I’m thinking of mounting a rudder for the rear to help it track right. Any tips would be appreciated. Sweet setup btw.
@PureFishermenTV5 ай бұрын
Not at all since I was usually always on calmer waters. I think balancing the weight with the batteries in the back really helps with the tracking too.

Putting the batteries in parallel in essence just makes it like you have a battery twice as big so yeah essentially it just drains them slower!

@davidwalesby24262 жыл бұрын
one question is about the wiring harness for the batteries at 5:05 in the video you mention the cables are pulled very tight and zip tied so they don't pull back, my question is that with the flexing of the boat hitting waves, wakes and stretching wouldn't the constant stress on these cables eventually stretch and break the inside copper stands? well if you find reduced power for some reason then look towards this theory, but great job on the boat.
