Of the two types of motorized steering, the Servo type in this video or the motorized gearbox in a previous video, how do they differ in performance. The motorized gearbox is a lot less expensive.

The receiver you used in this video, the F-06A, is only rated up to 9 volts. A previous video of yours you used the PWM receiver that is good up to 14 volts. I'm confused how the 9V F-06A receiver works in a 12v system. Did you use a step down buck converter in the build or can the F-06A receiver handle 12 volts?

Your link to the HOTRC DS-600 remote and receiver has the 4-9 volt receiver rather than the 4-14V version that we need for our project. The 4-14V version seems to be sold out across the globe. Did they stop making the HOTRC DS-600 PWM 4-14V or do you think it's sold out and will be available again some time in the future?

Do you have to program the servo or the transmitter or the esc I’m looking to do this to my kayak.

What would this be equivalent to in the uk ? What’s the active ingredient in the toilet cleaner that’s cleaning the driveway

Great video, many thanks. How to hook up the volt meter and what is it used for?

Thanks, I ordered a couple of these and got them very quickly from England.

Well, if anyone’s going to do it, this is the video to watch, little bit too much work for me and I don’t really need to do it. I’ll just turn the thing with my hand. It’s a five speed and reverse and it’s right next to me so I have no real need to do that, very good video

It seems the problem is I have a normally open switch, so when the lanyard is pulled, the circuit is closed, causing the motor to run. I need a normally closed one, and when the lanyard is pulled, the circuit is open. Can you recommend a switch that is normally closed?

I have a prewired two wire kill switch. What do suggest with using that type of switch?

Have you kept this in use? I got the same, but wondering is this able to handle like 5 amps which should be in use while using 7.4V with DS5160

How well did this setup work for you? Were you able to reinstall the front grab handle?

kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4vCn3umg9udpsUsi=Uc9aisNRS6FqQki7 Stumbled into this vid today: it details how to adjust the amount of travel on the transmitter. No need for stops!

I made the something but not wide enough to go inside my van. My canoe is so heavy I need all the help I can get.

Where did you get a swivel big enough? I can’t find one anywhere

Do you have a video making it?

He's not showing anybody how to actually do this. It's just an ego trip.

Outstanding! 💪

Thank you so much for your vidio it worked perfect on are Trailer !! Thanks Again

Great instructional video!

What size gland nuts did you use?

I only listen to people who suck in their gut.

What si,e motor are you running ...? I just bought the hill. N was thinking about a 40hp

What

Do you have a link for the delay board?

I love how rapidly you are improving your DIY remote trolling motor. I appreciate the clear, concise and short videos. Thank you for the links you provide to purchase the components so that we can replicate your invention.

Thank you!

Greetings aksman, i have just recently received all the pieces to assemble the drive and steering as you have so clearly outlined in orevious videos. I just wanted to point out, coming from rc planes, this sort of unit is often used to adjust the speed of landing gear servo retracts, and more sophisticated transmitters can accomplish some of the other functions like adjusting end point travel, use of dual rates for less or more travel over all, and exponential rates to help tame over control. I am about to unbox the Hotrc transmitter and explore if it offers more than the basics, and will report back. May i say, Good Job providing clear and easy to understand information !

I bought this kit but it does not tighten down on shaft i have a motorguide r3 do i need a sleeve for it to work ?

Get a rc boat esc and they are water cooled then get a stering servo and hook it up to change direction it would be 100%

This is a great video and great idea. I will use this to make one for my skiff. The only thing I am adding is some weight to the top of the pole, so when it goes down, the weight pushes it deeper into the ground so it holds better. Thank you for the idea.

will this work with my Minn Kota 55lb thrust motor??

I put A cutting board in the top of mine for a top lid so I can cut bait in top and have a nice sturdy kid

You got nerves(balls) of steel. Using the heat gun on the fish finder. I am definitely making one. The foldable cutting board is a great idea.

ciao It is possible to buy only the mechanism? In this case can you give me moe information? thk You

Do you have a video showing the esc install

Very cool, the movement is much smoother with this setup. Congrats on your progress!

love your content. 3 questions 1. the ESC listed on amazon is for 6V..I assuming you're using a 12V battery? 2. assuming counter clockwise prop rotation is forward thrust some of your test seem backwards..ie. for 90 degrees (to your right the R motor has forward thrust which would turn the vessel to the left? but when you test test 0 or forward you did have count clockwise motion (forward) but only on the L motor which which turn the vessel to the right? 3. these ESC are for brushed motors. I was under the impression that most trolling motors are brushless and when using a brushed motor controller for this it tends to burn up the controller?

Hey buddy, awesome video great production I really really like the spot lock function. I found on tiny boat nation a version of this that cost $750 it had GPS added to it but I like your version better because I to have a 10 pound spot lock! Thanks 🙏

Hi, what is the yellow and white wire coming out of the shaft.? Thought it would just be red and black for power? Thx

I have this exact same boat in my back yard. It was my grandmothers from god knows how long ago. My cousin and I used to run around on it while it was flipped upside down. Probably explains the small dents - wish i didn't do that. lol now that you've had it a bit, how stable does it feel while standing on the casting deck, and also, have you have more than one person on it yet? I really want to do this with it, but It's from a different state and I don't have a title for it. Anyway, great job.

Can you do this with the Minn Kota v2 board? Where do you get the potenciameter? And the volt meter?

Hey can I run these on separate trolling motors? I run dual watersnakes but I only want them to go forward and reverse since I steer with the rear rudder.

Can you use this setup on a Motor Guide R3 30 pound thrust

Since the Hobbywing 880 ESC is overkill for a single brushed 40 amp motor, why not use the Radiolink Cool 9030 90A Bushed ESC. It's $5 cheaper and offers programming using jumpers instead of a programming card. That's another $10 saving. It also offers a 5amp 7.5 volt BEC. So you can simplify your wiring and save another $29. I just ordered the HotRC DS-600 Wireless Controller, so I don't know much about it. But isn't there a way to program the controller to vary the servo speed? If so, that would save another $32 and simplify the wiring. All my RC airplane controllers allow me to program speeds of my servos. Hope these comments are useful and looking forward to your thoughts.

HI, can you create a video on how you wire everything to the trolling motor?

Excellent stuff mate, cheers. I have a 5 forward speed/3 reverse speed motor that Im just about to add a PWM to. Im using it on a float tube and the motor is mounted at the rear. The way the motor/prop is situated puts it under my float tube instead of away from it. In other words, I have to turn it around to propel me backward in the tube (going forward in the tube soaks my nuts haha). Anyway, when you put a PWM on my motor (older Endura 30), will it run at the same speed forward and backward? Im not sure if the reverse is limited in speed compared to forward. 5 speeds vs 3 made me wonder if full speed at reverse 3 is the same as full speed forward 5. Id really like to get the prop out from under me arse, the shaft isnt the longest and sometimes when its choppy I can feel the props brush the bottom of my tube which is not very good at all.

Great to Watch video keep up the good work.Thanks for sharing.

Could you use this controller on a Minn Kota Endura

What’s the largest (lb thrust size) this can be used on
