Awesome!! Thank you for the thorough video!

[@srileo]

This is the best video on the topic. Thank you for doing this.

[@sailinguntilvalhalla]

We are so glad this was helpful for you! Ya we couldn't really find a whole lot of videos on thus when we first started doing it.

[@susanb6282]

Awesome video!! Thank you!

[@user-qw3fi5zi5o]

Best vid on this topic thanks so much

[@sailinguntilvalhalla]

Thanks glad it helped, tried to be thorough in explaining

[@michaelcyr8215]

Interesting adjustable wrench/pry bar. Just needs a hammer!

[@Dadlife_Alaska]

It actually has an small enlarged hammer head section as well, I use this tool on the boat more times than i care to admit haha

[@goodcitizen4587]

Cool! I did this on my Saturn inflatable, using an ePropulsion spirit 1.0 electric.

[@SailingonAnnecam]

Well done

[@nelsonngeth2470]

Very nice set up... can't wait to see the throttle video for this... guessing it will be in part 2.

[@sailinguntilvalhalla]

Yeah we actually waiting on parts to complete it but we will definitely post a video of what we installed to finish it!

[@jean-sebastianroy2210]

Great info, thanks! Waiting for my kit with 12' cable; can it be cut shorter?

[@allan8004]

Hey great job, will make piloting much easier and as you say, at a great budget cost, as for the seat maybe nick the wife's plastic step-up step ha ha, keep it up great video, all the best, Al

[@Dadlife_Alaska]

Yeah it'll be a nice easy ride, and i already built an aluminum seat around the fuel can that'll be in the next control video. Thanks glad you liked it filmed this one last minute on a late night lol

[@teamchecko9086]

That’s cool man, I’m definitely going to do it on my Newport vessel, but I have a question? What’s the part that makes it move left and right? All I see is the cable connected but does that come with the kit? Just curious on how it moves left or right? Is the motor sitting on something

[@FilthyRichesProductionss]

Do you think you could tell me how you attached your consol to the boat I got one and wanna know if I just screw ur directly onto in

[@sailinguntilvalhalla]

We have a secondary floor on ours so we screwed directly into the fiberglass floor with fairly large screws!

[@am932]

Also Trying to figure out how to secure the center console to the rib. I have an aluminum hull without a secondary floor and i dont want to drill a hole on the hull.

[@rorymerritt4082]

@@am932 Im having the same issue, dont know how to attach it without going through the hull

[@user-qw3fi5zi5o]

Does it matter what motor or anything

[@sailinguntilvalhalla]

That's in not sure, I would assume most 9.9/10hp and up would work but can't speak on smaller outboards. If unsure with a particular outboard you ca always call local outboard shop should be able to look up if there is "remote controls" option for the outboard

[@Nick-sl2qf]

Where did you buy the console from?

[@sailinguntilvalhalla]

We got it on amazon but I think the one we ordered is no longer available.
