*Great little trolling motor **enjoyable.fishing** recommend had it hooked up to my 15 foot old town canoe and it pushed it pretty good with me and my son (220 pounds each).*

[@dpaulsen1]

Two years later this motor is going strong kzbin.infoUgkxBZWgzfpS2Jj7JqIHyaSZjyVHNUgCKCBf Just uploaded a video of it after 2 years. We use it probably a dozen days each year on our small raft.-original review- We got this motor the other day and tested it out. I don't have anything to compare it to, but it seems good to me. It has all the features advertised - the motor housing is metal. We will see how it performs longer term and I will revise this review if needed. Some initial observations:- Good thrust, moves our boat around really well- It comes with a circuit breaker but no switch - so there's no way to kill the motor other than yanking the connection off the battery. I installed an inline switch.- The mount bracket is plastic and I worry it might break- There are a number of plastic parts that I worry about, but the most important ones are metal or some kind of composite

[@andrew753951]

Hell yeah. This is the first video on how to make a "homemade" trolling motor that actually helped me

[@iRtraviss]

Ingenious! Add a battery box with a solar panel on top.

[@scottfirman]

So all you,arm chair scrappers out there,build your better motor and do a video and then post it. At least this guy actually did it! Mabe not perfect and yes it will probably wear out pretty quick but hey it works,Funny but I dont see too many other people building one of these,only better. Good job. You can always take what you learn from this one,and build a better one next time.

[@bruno333333333]

Like you say it works and he's taken time out to make the video

[@LukeJ084]

i wonder if the same concept would work with pvc pipe... and instead of welding, use a 2 part epoxy... it would be a lot less weight...

[@BallisticAdventure]

if you use pvc, you could just use pvc primer and glue. they are made for pvc and waterproof once dry

[@zoffinger]

Fricken Awesome!

[@wiseguy1305]

+zoffinger Love your channel!

[@nachelia]

+zoffinger No way! As I was watching him troll with the motor I thought of you! Crazy that you're in the comment section, Lol

[@baileyva7aib987]

marty lopez Later

[@ronniebushell1718]

How do you change the flash modes on a elfeland flashlight

[@evandickson19]

zoffinger one of your videos is recommended below this one

[@johnschwabl1883]

I gotta have a beer with Rulof some day. 'Guys a genius!

[@ceecrb1]

1:28 Aww crap I cant cut the slots with my grinder... I took it apart for the first stage!! :D

[@robertanderson5587]

+ceecrb1 LOL ceecrb

[@wippo76]

haha lol

[@asvpl4tun841]

[@groundskeeper5292]

Pretty sweet little trolling motor. I made one for my kayak using a discarded string trimmer, a prop,and a cordless drill. But yours is simple and stylish too. Sure beats paddling!

[@DiyEcoProjects]

Rulof Maker, that is realy cool... well done! :O) How long does you battery last? just curious

[@luisoti1743]

Fantastic and I wanna provide a tip,if you wanna go in reverse all you have to do is switch the wires and you got it.thanks for the video

[@skyym3629]

That is genius my friend. You live in a place where the water is soooo beautiful. You are a very fortunate person. Thanks for the video.

[@Experimentaltechnik]

Good idea to take the angled gear from an old grinder!

[@preston2345]

I'm not an electrician, but wouldn't a deep cycle SLA battery, as opposed to an automotive SLA like the one you used, be much better for such a purpose? The deep cycle is made to be drained fully and recharged many times, whereas the automotive battery shouldn't get below 80% without shortening it's life drastically, as it's meant to be charged by a cars alternator...? People should know this !

[@senatorjosephmccarthy2720]

Preston Connell + He is making his low buck.

[@greentracktasmania5659]

Preston Connell kinda get the feeling he just used whatever he had laying around...

[@dstewart4261]

never drain a deep cycle battery fully. Halfway drained, then it needs a charge within 24 hrs to be well maintained

[@valveman12]

Welding...not soldering Welding penetrates deep and blends into the metal...soldering does not. Fun project!

[@plinkbottle]

I like all of these projects of turning junk into something useful. It can be a poor mans occupation but takes some imagination

[@otmaneyassine3713]

Good work my friend respect from Morocco.

[@edwardenglish1519]

That's some real McGyver stuff right there. Kool!

[@rcrackley]

I like Lukes idea of pvc pipe, will have to give it a try. Great idea

[@anavasmata]

very good. a genius. thou Actual scientist. Your mind bravely follow ideas. iam from Greece.

[@svroysjoy5538]

Brilliant and simple - great job on building this - wanting to make a small 12v motor for my lads dingy - you have just help me greatly allong the way - thank you

[@greentracktasmania5659]

awesome, I love it. A little rough around the edges but a great idea!

[@connorhart7032]

Great project man really impressive! I think something you could add would be a turning mechanism to it so you would need to use your paddle to steer

[@OwensBoatClub]

OK. seriously impressive 'backyard engineering'.. but it's called 'welding' not 'soldering'... great accent.. sounds Ruski or Ukrainian maybe ? Very very clever.. I really like your video..

[@Lalaland.001]

OwensBoatClub he's Italian, just so you know.

[@OwensBoatClub]

+FeasiblePrepper Ok. You got me.. Soldering is exclusivly with tin/silver/lead/rosin and usually to copper..and when I think of welding I think of ARC/MIG/TIG like most people... and NO I didn't know that 'welding' in Italian is basically the same word.. (my ignorance).. .. its still,a great and even funny video..

[@haciendadad]

I agree, it's not the going to win any beauty contests but he got it working fast and it barely weights anything. He just gets stuff done! Hat tip sir!!

[@Thanospappy]

Very nice and inspiring video. It actually inspired me and i build one. I would like to suggest some facts and maybe some solutions. The shaft that drives from the motor to the propeller reduction gear needs to be fortified. What i mean is that it might work for few times with this thin tube but soon it just cracks and brakes. So i replaced the shaft with a 10mm axle (easilly purchased in a hardware store by the meter) and welded a 4cm M12 nut (used as spacer) on both sides. The nut is 4mm thick so plenty of force to hold the shaft system. Alternatively if someone has access to a cardanic joint that would be the ultimate solution for a stronger motor that could easily deliver 1HP to the shaft!!!!!!Before sealing the grinders gear i would suggest graphite grease as it would be better for the gear. That's all from me. Keep up the good work buddy!! You inspire us!!! Ciao da Grecia!!!

[@slimjim7411]

Cool needs a steering mechanism so you can just sit back and drive. Like a stick steer on the side you push forward to turn right, and pull it back to turn left. Can mount the switch on it, and waalaa 1 handed steering. Not hard to set up just a arm on the motor. Run a piece of tubing with another piece of flexible tubing or wire inside to connect the two.

[@peeebuscatz3514]

My gawd I'm headed to the shop to get the parts asap

[@stevehamilton7629]

Very cool ! That is a beautiful beach you filed this video at!

[@dannyrusso8279]

Great job! This is the crazy kind of stuff I do, but you are more inventive. I motorized my kayak by cutting a Min-kota trolling motor in half. Mounted the lower shaft in a drain hole in my Moorea kayak. The top "guts" were removed from the hand-grip, and mounted in a project box that sits in front of me. The advantage of the Min-kota is 5 forward speeds and 3 reverse. Started with a huge nimh pack, but later went with 16ah A123 lithium cells. Runs about 17 volts, but I haven't burned out the motor yet, after 3 seasons. Supposed to be 12 volts. Haven't posted it on KZbin yet though. BTW, do you get a vibration from your slightly out of balance prop? You can see it's not mounted dead center. Also, do you think you can make a shorter shaft? Seems you wanted to keep the motor far from the water, but lower would be ok.

[@jordanparker882]

Nicely done. looks like it works well. And you built it from recycled items.So it must have been free or very cheap. grate work.

[@Wildland_21]

that looks like it goes pretty fast for a small motor! nice job

[@MrApololing]

you really a life genius,transform the rubbish to application.i'm really like it,keep it up!

[@velocity800]

This is awsome!! You should win the Nobel prize! Thanks for the idea

[@PaulTheSkeptic]

That's a great idea but I gotta think that the pvc would wear out real quick. You don't seem to need that much of an extension. I think someone could improve on this already great design. You could also make the motor steer. That would be good.

[@christianhernandez6291]

its not pvc its metal pipe

[@PaulTheSkeptic]

Christian Hernandez Oh, is it? I guess I wasn't paying that close attention. It could still be improved. The steering I think is a good idea. It might need somewhat of a keel. I'm just spitballing here, no big deal.

[@fujiobass]

It is welding, not soldering. great idea ! love the back ground music too.

[@thepilgrim1581]

Lol! D.I.Y at its best!! 😂😂😂😂😂 fair play to you. 👍

[@georgekot6377]

Very smart. A big BRAVO to you

[@Joshplv]

MOST AWESOME BUILD EVER

[@rheniformer]

That's beautiful neighbor! I admire the genius of your simplicity, Subscribing now.

[@johnarizona3820]

WAY TO GO MAN! Very cool, God bless! That bird looked like a blue heron, i dunno, lol?

[@jamespaxofficial2970]

Good especially in giving explanations I have decided to implement the project on my boat. Very good keep it up

[@danvize4284]

you did an awesome job, I really like this design. good video too

[@Spencerenz]

You live in a beautiful country!

[@OnDayFiveFishing]

New Subscriber!!! Man; that's very innovative and also a green way to repurpose a tool... Have you considered selling these?

[@gorp27]

Cool build.

[@thatguyfor2adefendtheconst732]

simple on off design not high tech but it gets the job done and you made it your self so that's something.

[@tonydownunder5703]

That a great idea, Well done. Very very nice.

[@frederickconner8572]

dude you look like that Actor from the Hobbit, and from the Goonies! Nice video!

[@WaynJul]

Ingenuity in action.

[@MrDinkydoodle]

well done. great motor, great video.

[@BallisticAdventure]

cool video.. I wonder though, if you reverse the drive head, will your motor be more efficient with the 3:1 drive?

[@aguimars]

Creative & Cool job, congratulations :) Just a question, how many hours works a full battery? It's make lot of noise, but can use a small mower gasoline engine, just one idea

[@noahetan1093]

amazing man i love it

[@lestercon4914]

hey dude. I want to share my little idea ,about this video. try to have a switch relay (30amp) and fuse . This relay can extend the amperage of battery while fuse this will prevent a short circuit and for your safety. keep up your good work dude! have nice day! God bless

[@moabdulhamid6839]

Why the relay extends the battery life

[@JakeofMN2]

Your prop's got a bit of a weeble wobble

[@therealzilch]

DIY at its best. Grazie.

[@tisoyodever2472]

i like this project :) i made 1 and the people are asking me to make one and sell to them!! thnk you rulof maker for making this project........make new expirent :)

[@surfdetective]

I will still be able to catch you …….

[@40nadal]

Excelente Idea Rulof Maker very cool

[@JuliusJuukulius]

Great Work! Keep up making more amazing inventions ;)

[@ericlemay3465]

That's locks pretty cool man

[@inbetweenprojects1238]

Hey man I have a fishing kayak and I was wonder if you ever thought about building a power pole Micro anchor I want one but they cost 1000$+ dollars love your videos thanks man

[@Bikerbloke99]

Very impressive. Just subscribed! Well done mate.

[@pgprentice]

Great build! Thank you for sharing.....

[@Taylor8Fam]

Great job with limited resources!!!

[@skeletkey]

Cool! Would be great if you had a parts list to follow.

[@lssallos]

Cleaver plan and it really works !!! may i ask you where is this bay, golf, whatever it's so familiar to me

[@ashadowawhisper]

Now run some plastic covered steel cable down each side to rudder pedals for your feet so that you can steer with your feet, with no need for the paddle...

[@mrmiagi7447]

Man that's really cool keep up the good work.

[@acrobart2339]

how it it waterproof? can you explain that. Also, the voltage is not what electrocutes, but the amperage. Explain that. How many amps is it pulling, maybe not a lot.

[@PrecioustheMovie1]

beautiful and clever, thanks

[@Badass-cycles]

Nice plan and it works, okay some things can be better but now, ik works. You made a good job (y)

[@experiment_Maintenance_funny]

Dear... can i use small 2 Stroke 500 watt Generator as engine... me already make this trolling motor but speed too slow... Is this change can run more fast...???

[@Aldoor]

+Musadaq Mansoor Turn the grinder head around. Then you have 3 revolutions of the propeller to every single turn of the motor.

[@robertlemal1055]

excellent work

[@ObamaoZedong]

this is awesome! Do you know how much horsepower it has?

[@Njennings42]

Very cool thanks for showing

[@XPAULEYDX]

How much would I have to pay for you to make me one of these? I love the design.

[@kit6580]

How long can you propell yourself ? And I'm looking for a soldering system like your. What kind is it ?

[@MrMiguella]

no more paddling against the current for me! building this today!

[@moabdulhamid6839]

Brother how many amps the u using is consuming without load ,this is very important for my diy motor please

[@RedfishInc]

I've noticed that many folks from other countries use the word solder when they are welding and use the word weld when they are soldering... what's up wit dat?

[@adamt3168]

the only thing I'd suggest is a slightly larger propeller on the back to give more acceleration and speed

[@dftelevision4605]

That's amazing great video very informative.

[@mellcamp]

Dude you are a GENIUS 👍

[@briann420]

Nice work! But you probably realized you didn't need the shaft so long, unless you're going to put it on a bigger boat.

[@sosocrazy1234]

that is TOO cool. lol.. good job.

[@mansbfishing]

Good job 👍..

[@josephdupont]

will it generate electricity??

[@cjsdawg67]

I love your videos man, I just subscribed, and gave this video a thumbs up. I hope in the future you make more videos of homemade weapons!

[@TheSantosriverapr75]

very nice...good ideas.!!!!

[@jerigom]

great video

[@jeffmech600]

ya its cool and a good use of junk but long-term especially in salt water its done first or second use

[@simplyrise5217]

Awesome bro. It may not be "perfect", who cares.

[@elkhomisy4572]

Awesome I will try to do it 👍👍👍

[@OOICU812]

Now, if you'd put together a video on how to make a boat that'd be great.

[@fujiobass]

nice video !

[@Fendermaister]

Rulof Maker does it go faster with a biger propeller

[@kylemilford5968]

So could you put a vortex tube on this and get even more thrust?!
