That's going to be a fast kayak with the haswing 😁

I was just wondering how I was going to store my kayak. Thanks!

Does the Seasense box come with all the wiring? Getting a new Litime 100AH w/bluetooth in a few days for use with a diesel heater and for general camping. (I don’t fish…yet.) Was going to make my own box out of wood to match my overlanding gear, but if this has the monitor, 12V port, USB ports, etc right out of the box, that’s even better…

Can the esc and remote/reciever be used together to control a minnkota terrova steering motor? The purpose is to control a forward facing transducer.

Great videos! I've watched several and all are very informative and well presented. I'm wanting to fo a diy for my forward facing transducer using a minnkota terrova steering motor. Can you tell me what I need to make it a remote controlled gor left and right, and if possible the speed of rotation?

these videos are old but worth twice their weight on gold

i know this is an old video and as described appears this item is no longer manufactured are you aware of something similar that is still currently in production

Can you do the same thing with a Maxim control board

Perfect …. Thanks for sharing…

Man, I love your ingenuity. Have you thought about how to apply a lift system that will to straight up/down on the Protruar? The way the trolling motor mount is made and no front support gusset, it appears your previous Harken pulley configuration wouldn't work. Thanks.

Son of a gun! Nice catch sir I just ran into this issue.

What kayak was this that you did that diy on? I liked how wide it was.

For those looking for a 10k pot this is available on Mouser with center detent for $2 part rv16af-10-15r1-b10k-3cla

I want to build this for my newport vessels 36lb thrust trolling motor so i can troll at lower speeds and save some battery life. Do you still recommend all the parts in this video that you used? Love the kill switch as well. Thanks for your informative content!

I enjoy your videos! This video gave me some ideas about mounting a trolling motor on my Perception Outlaw 11.5. I haven't decided if I want it on the front or rear yet, so you just gave me a solution whichever I choose. Thank you.

Been looking at this for my kayak. Do you think it’s possible to move the trolling motor head up by the seat, and place the battery up front to balance the weight? If so what AWG wire do you recommend?

Hi there, so technically I should be able to fit the second esc for the gearbox in the head also to eliminate the control box in your other videos?

That's pretty close to how I mounted mine a couple of years ago. Except I didn't need the cutting board, and put the toggle bolts in the top of the trolling motor mount. Both the Ride 135, and the Vibe Yellowfin 100 had enough flat space. Also I cut the trolling motor mount off vertically at the front bend instead of horizontally, so mine are a little shorter than yours is. I got the toggle bolt idea from James Burke. He sold motors, mounts, and controls which he called the "skimmer". I got the idea of using the standard motor mount directly from Randy's Treasure Adventures. Those two things greatly simplified what is often and overcomplicated job. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIvMmK1jgLaZgKssi=VMytRPbPZATxEgEY kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5zIf4J_n81sp7csi=wGk62Qx-DmCBUDJk

Well done. I viewed the build. Very good thanks.

I like it! I bought a mount for my Sea Ghost 130 but I am not entirely happy with it. It is bulky and still flexes too much. I did something similar to what you did here on my old Malibu X-Factor. Now you have me thinking I should make a new one for the Sea Ghost. :) The Sea Ghost does run great with the Protruar!

Do you have any ideas of how to make a spot lock gps trolling motor??

I know it's been a while since you done this video but I just found it. If you shorten the shaft like you did can you not cut the wires and just leave the excess wiring in the head and just put the cover back on? I'm thinking of getting one and doing this mod to it so the length is more in line with my Newport Vessels 55lb Kayak version trolling motor. I like this Haswing because it's brushless so it will be much more efficient, 8lbs lighter and the big thing and my main reason for getting one is the more proportion throttle vs the 5 steps on my NV trolling motor.

Doesn't work on older stains.

Nice

When you say that all of your power chords are fused, how many fuses did you use and on what chords? I would think one fuse between the motor and the esc and one fuse between the esc and the battery. Is this right? In other videos of this similar setup i thought that i only saw one fuse but I may be mistaken. Thanks in advance!

excellent video. If I only have an AGM battery, which option should I change? and what would be the ideal one for this type of battery. thanks good videos

this is the type of stuff that got me out of 3d printing.. one day I just had an epiphany while working on 3d printing some fishing lures: 1. i wasnt really saving any money, 2. i wasnt really having any fun doing it, 3. life is way to short to be wasting my time 3d printing things when I can find everything on the internet now. This is something that totally can be purchased.

Wow! I just noticed the little trolling motor stands you have. Did you use a 2x4? I see you might have a yellow wedge on there, is the 2x4 tall enough or should I use a 2x6? These are worth a video. Thanks for another great idea!👍

Great idea! I'm going to make one. Are you able to spin the prop freely with the 2x4 height if you need to test the motor? If my prop is too big, I might do the same with 2x6's. Thanks!

Hi there, what is the name of the black connectors coming out of the box?

Hi there, with this setup are you able to tilt the motor?

Although this is an older thread…. It is still very helpful…. Thx… just picked up a Suzuki 2.5, for the Yak… for long distance fishing. Appreciate the time for your ingenuity,

Nice easy control 👍 İ want to ask something, where do you find electric steering mechanisms?

Good, easy build. Thanks.

I did all that , but for some reason it doesn’t steer to one side , like it’s having a hard time and stops, the other direction works perfectly. What could it be ? TYI

You have created one of the best tutorials I have ever seen. I am totally impressed!

thank you very much

Could this be used in conjunction with a PWM box I built? How would wiring it look like? The PWM would let me fine tune the exact speed I like and the foot pedal would mean totally hands free fishing.

So between an ESC and a PWM: which is more efficient, durable/reliable, easier to set-up, least expensive.... or did i miss that video? Thank you

How long should I work the minkota 30 lbs. Can it be continuous work?

good video. I have 2 questions. I hope someone can help me with them. #1. Will the power input cables to the ESC withstand the amperes generated by a 30 lb Minkkota? #2. Can this Esc work with an AGM battery with 12.6 v.? thank you. I want to start this project

That should work GREAT!!!!! It has been some time but I remember utilizing something like that on one of my early trolling motor conversions. My friend Phil Krug engineered a Hobie Electra Drive PWM system for me that provided variable speed for my Hobie Pro Angler 14 in both forward and reverse operations. Instead of the foot switch he wired a remote variable speed pot for RPM control that I installed near my left armrest. I steer the Pro Angler 14 with the OEM hand operated steering controls on the right side of my kayak. He also shortened the shaft on the trolling motor and modified the fill plate to hold the motor and prop assembly. Also, I provided a lever that would allow you to manually provide extra steering control if needed that was mounted to the trolling motor shaft that extended up into the upper Kayak deck through the fill plate. The fill plate had the necessary pins that allowed for placing and removing the trolling motor from the OEM pedal mounting brackets. I am able to stow the Hobie Electra Drive or the OEM foot pedals in the front storage compartment of the Hobie Pro Angler 14 when not in use. This gives me the BEST of BOTH WORLDS. I can use electric system until the battery dies and then quickly remove the Hobie Electra Drive unit and place it in the front storage compartment and install the OEM foot pedals which can also fit in the front storage compartment when utilizing the Hobie Electra Drive and continue fishing etc. All the electronic components including the battery are stored in a small cooler which is placed behind the Hobie Seat. All the wiring is provided utilizing the Anderson power pole plugs so that the electric propulsion unit and small cooler can be easily unplugged and removed if not needed. I also provided a kill switch that is provided in case you accidently go overboard that stops the Hobie Electra Drive unit.🙂 The only drawback is that I had to make a little device to move the prop in the proper position for removal due to tight clearances. I have seen where others have utilized other trolling motor designs with different props that make it easy to remove he trolling motor. Hope this information provides help to others that are interested in these modifications.

Hello. How thick is that cutting board?

Thanks!!

Would you be able to run dual 30lb motors on just the one relay? Looking to do brakes on my boat...Thanks

Do you have the 3D design of the steering motor?

Hello! great work. Where can I get those throttle units? Appreciate your help.

The only problem with changing the head direction is thad reverse become forward and forward becomes reverse. Switching the wire polarity to the battery does not work and reverse only produces 60percent of thrust as forward.

Thanks man!! Awesome video. Really appreciate you taking time to help us.

Really recommendation would be to spread the Clorox cleaner around a little bit with a brush to feather it in so you don't end up with a hard line with a white stain in the driveway
