Wireless Pro PWM Set Up and Test for DIY Modified Kayak Trolling Motor

[@johnrugani9832]

Just wanted to confirm to you and all who view this tutorial That WIRELESS TROLLING PRO is very much in business and i just ordered mine. Cant wait to install. Thanks for your help!!

[@Aksmaniyak]

Thanks John.

[@CMBDIA]

Perfect. This is the answer i was looking for. I wanted to remove the head and plug the pwm straight to the motor. Thanks.

[@Aksmaniyak]

You are welcome!

[@AlM-sn3yr]

All is clear, good explanation on yellow-white wires - they are not needed. Only it's NOT wireless :)... This is their Cable version, but they do have wireless remote as well. Love your videos, very informative/

[@Aksmaniyak]

Thanks Al. True, it is their cable version but the company is called Wireless Trolling Pro. I'm glad my videos can help.

[@Anh.babe86]

I just got my wireless pro PWM kit, finally had the chance to install it lastnight. I have follow all the step and even check the breaker. When i install it the trolling motor kick on for 1-2 sec and shut off. The wireless remote didnt do anything. but when i hook the trolling motor directly into the battery it work fine. there has to be some kind of shortage in the wireless box. looking forward to send my back and have it check out!

[@Aksmaniyak]

Hi Van. Is the PMW and the breaker rated for the amps in the trolling motor?

[@commercialeight8309]

Thank you for getting back with me I really appreciate what is causing mine to pulsate fast slow fast slow both in reverse and in forward position. I turned the speed control to the highest setting when I hooked it up. Could that be my problem. Please get back with me

[@craigpage7782]

Same exact thing happened to me. Been trying to get hold of company for weeks. They have lied and been next to impossible to get in touch with. Avoid them like the plague!!!

Hi Axsman, Looks real nice. Glad you got one and installed it. Looks pretty simplistic. Looking forward to a video when you get it on the water. He has a nice neat control box that is easily attached to your kayak. I guess he must still be having issues with getting the wireless control circuits as he shows those models out of stock. Many thanks for sharing! John

[@Aksmaniyak]

Thanks John. I spoke with him and he said that the wireless model is still about 2 weeks behind schedule. This one is really simple to work with when compared to the other model I am using.

Hi Axsman, We were looking for a dual wireless system that would wirelessly control both the trolling motor speed and reversing functions and also control a linear actuator for steering purposes. i.e. 2 knobs one for each function. Phil still continues to work on his version. John

Hi mate this is what I want & very interesting to come across your video please advice how & where to order exact same hand held controller and the other unit that is needed for this job. Waiting your reply thanks a lot much appreciated.

[@Aksmaniyak]

Thank you. The company that made the PWM is no longer in business. There is an Australian company that makes a good PWM that I have used. It is called Motion Dynamics.

[@43026auto]

I had a wireless. Never worked more than 10 minutes on the water. Sent it back 3 times all three times failed in the first ten minutes. They kept it up to 6 months one time and they said since the wireless was not working they would send me one out that was wireless but I could plug it in also. When I got it back it was strait wired. I had paid for wireless. Yep you guessed it, about 10 minutes on the water not ever hitting 100% power it Burnt up. This was the first time it had burnt up. Before it had gotten stuck on high in reverse when I was going forward at about 20% power. The other 2 times it just stopped working all together. Telling you my true story. If you want to buy one that is up to you. But don’t be like me and think it’s the best thing since sliced bread. Because it will malfunction on you. Thanks hopefully this helps someone to use their money more wisely.

[@Aksmaniyak]

You are not alone with your complaints. It seems within the last 2 years there was a quality control and customer service problem. They are currently out of business or just dormant. The unit I had and another that I installed still work to this day without any problems.

[@43026auto]

Aksman my unit was back from like 3-4 years ago. So they must had had some problems then also. They did return emails and called back from my emails at that time. And he would always send me the same board back each time. If it was my business when that problem one came in a new one would have been sent out and I would have found out what went wrong with that one. But the fastest they ever got me mine back was 2 months. I Bowfish off my yak so I run very very slow. You can see the prop turn. So wasn’t like I was even getting it hot. Just sucked. I was very disappointed to say the least. Thanks for you response back.

[@weekender38]

thanks for the video instruction

[@Aksmaniyak]

You're welcome.

[@bigalcervantes5118]

Aksman, from your expertise, is performance better with the pwm control module, or the controller box you made in your previous videos. The control box that you fabricated is really nice and cheaper to make. In your opinion which would you go with?

[@Aksmaniyak]

It depends on your budget. Yes, the original control box is easier to make and costs much less. The PWM requires different wiring and is much more expensive. The PWM does have more advantages. It uses less battery current so your battery power will last longer. It also has an infinite amount of speed settings.

[@commercialeight8309]

Is the wireless remote still available is the company still in business

[@iwata7827]

Nice video

[@Aksmaniyak]

Thanks.

[@willbill2209]

Excellent setup you have there. Question that I have is I have the Endura Max and would like to just keep the head in the side of my track and the motor in the back side. Which cable and gauge can I use to connect the cables from the head to the motor? They are too short so I need something in between to connect the two and just don't have an idea which cable type and gauge is needed. I know the battery can be used just a regular electrical cable but not too sure of the other ones. Thanks!

[@Aksmaniyak]

Thanks! The red/black wires from the motor are 10G. The yellow/white are 14G.

[@49richard]

thank you so much for the info and demonstration. I am going to modify my moter and control the way you have done... so simple when someone shows you so clearly. Take care! The grey wire joining the two boxes seems to be an ordinary phone wire am I right?

[@Aksmaniyak]

Sorry about the late reply...I just saw your comment. Yes, the gray wire is for the control pot.

[@frankc6430]

Thanks for your informative videos... what I would like to know is is you have seen any difference in using 10 gauge vs 8 gauge wires ,most people never talk about wires since I understand 10g could be ok for a 30lbs troll motor but once you start getting into the 45`s or 50`s then that can become a issue of resistance and heat ... I got a 55lbs motor and even my fuse and connectors supposed to be for at least 50amps minimum and 8g wire , is that right or can I get away with less? thanks for your advice .

[@Aksmaniyak]

Thanks Frank. I know many people refer to the Minn Kota wire gauge chart. In my opinion, it uses a huge factor of safety for liability reasons. I have wired numerous trolling motors from 30-55 lbers on kayaks using 10G up to 13 feet with never any problems.

[@FL-gg4dq]

Thanks for the video. Where is the fuse and what amp do you use

[@Aksmaniyak]

You are welcome. I use a 50 or 60A circuit breaker between the battery and PWM.

[@msms-rl6zf]

You make it look so easy! I'd like to add a circuit breaker in the battery hot line. I have a 65# thrust motor. Any ideas what amperage I should get? Any input appreciated. Nice video.

[@crude4u1948]

In your minn kota manual there is a chart that tells you the size breaker to use. I bought a resettable circuit breaker. My 30# unit calls for a 50 amp on #10 wire.

[@bigalcervantes5118]

Aksman, your videos are the best, I'm going to add trolling motor to my eagle Talon yak, question with the pwm controller how do you wire the breaker to the controller and battery.

[@Aksmaniyak]

Thanks again Al. You wire the circuit breaker between the battery power leads and PWM. The PWM then runs to the trolling motor power leads.

[@donoehlke7000]

I am looking at using the Wireless Trolling Pro for my Kayak. I will be putting a Minn Kota Endura Max 55 LB trolling motor on it. I have in the past with a Motorguide C3 taken the switch out and remounted it by the chair and it worked well. The Minn Kota however, has a molded in switch that doesn't look to be removable. I noticed that you had 2 wires that were not connected and the power ran directly into the motor itself. Are the cables coming from the wireless pro go directly to the wires that go down to the motor? The video was a little unclear as to what they hooked up to. Thanks

[@Aksmaniyak]

Yes, you don't use the white and yellow wires on the MK. You only use the pos and neg wiring for the WTP.

[@edhoule4532]

Just a quick question which controller did you order because Minn Kota c2 30 recommends a 50 amp breaker but they have several to choose from I believe they start at 30lbs up to 45lbs and does the 50 amp breaker protect both the controller and the motor thank for your great videos

[@Aksmaniyak]

Thanks Ed. The usual estimate for TM current draw is 1A for every lb of thrust (30lb=30A). However, when using a PWM the current draw is dramatically reduced. I did kayak field testing with the C2 30 lb TM and found that the maximum current draw with the PWM was less than 20A. Minn Kota recommends the 50A circuit breaker based on the stock speed controller. I bought the 40A PWM just to have a bigger factor of safety for the TM. The way the PWM is wired, the circuit breaker will protect it and the TM. I hope this helps.

[@josephwhitt4719]

You pull a lot more than 30a when on full speed and hit weeds or the bottom or from dead stop to full speed starts that’s why they recommended a 50a breaker

[@johnrugani9832]

Hey Aksman, Happy New Year! I have a question, do you know just how far your motor needs to be under the water to prevent cavitation? I'm and told the closer you can get to the water line without cavitation the more efficient your motor will run. I will be running a 40 lb minn kota With the standard prop on a bonafied ss127. I will be shortening the shaft and would like to go as short as possible. This will add in lifting the trolling motor out of the water and give me that nice low profile on top that i am looking for.

[@terrencevinson5840]

Hi, I purchased the PWM and installed it the way you demonstrated and also added a 30amp circuit breaker. After being on the water for a hour, the PWM stop working and it was really hot with a bad smell. I bought a second one and it did the same thing. Just shipped both units back for inspection. Any advice?

[@Aksmaniyak]

Hi, you purchased a WTP PWM? The description you gave sounds like there is an electrical short. I'm not sure what the problem could be exactly without seeing the set up. I would be very interested in the results of the inspection if you would post it here. Thank you.

I used a 3/4 inch 90 with a slip fit end. I heated it up with a heat gun to make it fit over the shaft and added a rubber chair leg cap. I drilled a hole in the center of the rubber cap for the wiring.

[@jwood3725]

Good Morning, I realize this is an older video, just looking at but good. I'm hooking a Minn Kota 30lb thrust to my 13' Vibe. I ordered a 12c30-p 30lb. I was reading your replies below and you ordered a 40amp. I think I need to go bigger just for protection. Lot of cash to burn up. Any thoughts would help. Thank you!

[@terrykocurek287]

Aksman, I am in the middle of a similar instal on my Kayak, but discovered that on the Endura 34 motor which I am using, the black wire coming out of the shaft is much larger than the other 3. This led me to investigate the continuity on the original control switch that was in the head of the motor, and it appears that on my motor speed is controlled by adding power to additonal wires (so that all 4 wires are used in foreward and reverse) and direction is changed by changing polarity. Are you sure your trolling motor uses the yellow and white wires to control direction?

[@Aksmaniyak]

I was given that information by an electrical engineer that works on the TMs. The max power occurs when the red and black motor wires act as if directly attached to the battery. I assume it has the standard TM switch inside the head as other Minn Kotas? For the PWM install, all you need is the red and black wires and that is why the instructions recommend selecting speed 5 on the shifter. Speed 5 allows maximum current to travel through the internal switch as if it was hooked directly to the battery. Did this answer your question?

[@terrykocurek287]

Aksman, My motor appears to have the standard Minn Kota switch, but from what I can determine by testing with a multimeter, speed is controlled by sequentially connecting additional wires to the positive (so, the red, yellow, and white wires all must be connected to the positive simultaneously for full speed). So, it would appear to me that if I only use the red wire, the pwn controller would not be able to achieve full speed). I would assume all of the Minn Kotas with the 3 spd reverse/5 spd fwd use the same switch, in which case you are not using your motor's full potential.

[@Aksmaniyak]

As with most DIY projects, KZbin tutorials are used as a guide to assist those interested in building similar projects. I encourage you to test your theory. I have built several trolling motors with 2 different types/brands of PWMs and each are connected in the same way using only the red+ and black- TM wires. They achieve maximum output with those configurations. The installation method was confirmed by each of the PWM manufacturers.

[@mikemccabe1581]

Yes, agree. although a different brand, I have a basspro inexpensive T30 prowler, and when you check continuity (with a multimeter) at high speed, all three positive wires are connected.

[@johnrugani9832]

hello again Aksman, I have a question i received my WTP this week. I'm only running about 5' of wire looks like 12 gauge to me. Is that sufficient? One more thing i see your NYPD shirt are you NYPD? Most of my wife's family are too.

[@Aksmaniyak]

Hi John. I run 10G for all my battery and trolling motor pos/neg. Not NYPD but retired LEO.

[@chrisb1032]

Hi and great video! In your application, why is it necessary to remove TM head to connect to black and red wire? Couldn't you connect to those wires without removing the head?

[@Aksmaniyak]

Thanks Chris. Yes you could do it that way but the operation would be a little bit different. You would need to keep the speed selector switch at setting 5 to make sure to allow for maximum current flow. But since this project no longer uses the stock speed selector switch in the head, it is a more streamlined design to remove it completely.

[@chrisb1032]

Thanks for quick response! Your tutorials have been most helpful while I prepare for my setup.

[@Aksmaniyak]

You're welcome. Good luck!

[@codygriffin8996]

So they say to put it on speed 5 formax energy saving. So with yours being removed do you still get the same in energy consumption

[@Aksmaniyak]

I have only field tested the unit without the head. Putting it on 5 allows for full current flow for the max energy saving and max speed. I have not tested both variations side by side for comparison. Removing the head and original switch could only increase the enregy savings based on my previous testing IMO.

Does the dial knob let you run on low speeds or is it just high on both forward and reverse? I’m wanting something I can run on a lower speed and slowly fish then turn the dial up so I can get across the lake in a hurry will this do that?

[@Db1rider]

Have you noticed any significant increase in runtime like they claim? I understand their claim is very far fetched, but even half of what they claim would make it plenty worth it.

[@Aksmaniyak]

Actually, the run time is significantly greater because of the less amount of current drawn by the motor when using this PWM. Check out some of my "AMP Draw" videos to see the difference.

[@Db1rider]

Awesome. I actually just ordered 2 of these after watching your video. One for me and one for my brother. But we ordered the wireless ones.

[@Aksmaniyak]

Thanks. Let me know how they work.

[@AlM-sn3yr]

You understand wrong - their claim is not far fetched, BUT.... This controller (and other similar models) increases the runtime by 50-60% on low wattage, although on top speed there is no difference if it were simple 5-speed type.

I have installed this exact unit on my Feelfree kayak and I also install a " kill switch" (the red one), they are both connected to the red wire from the battery thus the positive current but they both work reverse... : on my Pro PWM forward activate the reverse on the motor anf reverse avtivate the forward... and the kill switch cut the engine when it is setup to run and ounce I pull the plug the engine start! Unbelivable... I just can't understand why but I will keep investigating! Any idea?

[@AlM-sn3yr]

Reverse black/red control wires going from motor to PWM controller (not black/red wires from controller to battery). Controller doesn't care about polarity of control wires, he's just switching them. The company probably outsources manufacturing to China, and you know how they are...

Hello Aksman, I contacted the company and told me I can use the red and black, as you show in your video with the Minn Kota. I ordered the engine yesterday, and I will send you some pictures if I will go ahead with the project. Thanks again for sharing this with us!

What made you go to the variable control vs the first box you made with the 5x3 speed controller?

The PWM extends battery life and has a smoother (and basically infinite) speed settings.
