Let us know what you think!

It looks great. And much more user friendly than having the whole pwm in an external box . Thanks for sharing and nice work.

[@martyadams3915]

Pwm should have a three position rocker switch you can mount beside your speed control knobs forforward reverse and off.

[@ThomasShue]

As to reverse, you need a switch and a relay. That flips the power to the motor so it will spin backwards. But your prop isn’t designed for reverse performance

[@RiverSmallmouthAdventures]

You need a different PWM with a 3 position rocker switch for forward and reverse or you can also use an 880 ESC set up, just according to how much you want to spend. the Chinese PWMs usually don't last long unless you have good airt flow to them. I added a fan to mine but it failed after 2 years of use so I upgraded to an ESC with rmote control. You did a nice budget set up though!

[@A.Blair_Fishing]

This build is long gone. Running a NK180 now

[@jonlambert4904]

What esc did you use?

[@BreamBassBeyond]

Nice mod man! Good video!

[@A.Blair_Fishing]

Thank you! Should make for easy travels on the water.

Bro, do you work on your knuckles all day everyday?

[@kevinrobbins9500]

Where did you get the clamp that connects to shaft for steering? The hill man eyebolt can be purchased from Lowe’s or Home Depot. What is the part called?

[@SimplyFishing]

Good stuff. Great channel.

[@A.Blair_Fishing]

Thanks 🙏

[@kennethshropshire7516]

The rocker switch should allow you to go in reverse.

[@A.Blair_Fishing]

Gonna update the build. Want to swap to a key fob instead.

[@urbanoutdoorsman1650]

Messaged you on IG. Wondering how this turned out and if you figured out reverse. Would love to save my battery draw better than the stock 5 spd.

[@randyvictor6423]

They have a switch included with some PWM’s that Reverse Polarity… three-way toggle Reverse-stop-Forward…. I saw going higher AMP to 60A Min. might be better value. 😎🇺🇸❤️🙏

[@thedan7888]

Where do the steering cables go?

[@A.Blair_Fishing]

We did a video before this on just the cables. Check it out!
