Nice clean job! Well done Jackie ! I just subscribed,liked and hit the bell. I have a channel in Louisiana.

[@GodBlessedAmerica]

One of the most painful things in life is putting a hole in your boat. 😩

[@charlesgreen6880]

It didn't happen when you were in the water ?

[@GodBlessedAmerica]

@@charlesgreen6880 Lol. No I mean intentionally. 😎

[@captjackishea]

I agree!

[@craig1lengyel]

@@captjackishea You almost want someone to do it and not watch it happen.

[@robertnapier6608]

Needs a sea trial

[@JerseyJim57]

Hey Jacki Nice job on the Minnkota trolling motor don’t worry about the holes in your boat it’s normal OK, it’s just a part of installing a trolling motor, did you guys brace the bottom of the fiberglass they steel plate or fiberglass plate? Let me know Jersey Jim!! Three Screws should be fine take it for me and Louis! You guys are the best especially through this divorce!! Thank you so much for the videos the divorce is almost over! Ha ha can’t wait! Jersey Jim

[@kentmelenich1870]

You could countersink another hole in the block to get a fourth screw. When hitting waves the more bolts the better. I'm speaking from experience. 😢

[@brandonsmith1752]

Jackie please put a sealant on the bare exposed fiberglass, if water hits it it will start to rot. Good job otherwise.

[@captjackishea]

Thank you! I will work on this, do you have a product that you really like that you can recommend?

[@jeffspicoli7385]

Jackie I was looking at your merchandise. Still no Jackie Shea calendar!!!

[@kellyheidman2633]

It's hurts too put holes in the boat but it has to be done for the trolling motor great video

[@benrogers5808]

It’s not you Jackie. It’s that stupid gimmick of a socket. ☹️

[@GodBlessedAmerica]

Nothing gives you more pride than to look back at what you accomplished in a day. Well done y’all. 👍🏼

[@carlloberg1674]

You will find with a trolling motor you will find you dont anchor as much

[@charlesdriggers199]

Sometimes you got to put that hole in the boat to get things done. And if you have a bay boat it is not complete without a trolling motor. You will be putting Power Poles on it next.

[@johninnz]

You'll never look back, once you become familiar with using them, they're a game changer. Nice one 👍

[@reelteamfishing2871]

Best addition to boats since motors

[@noway57]

Lik the new calendar shot of you this yr. 🍑😅

Looking forward great 👍 work on boat 🚣

[@timothymcknight9485]

Oh Jacki! Being the weather in north central Pennsylvania is cold, a snowy today, I was so glad a video of yours came in to my phone! Thank you and Louis (how is his name spelled?) for the tutorial on installing the trolling motor! End shot of you, warmed things up! ❤️

Really enjoyed this one , awesome job guys! Would be cool to see some more DIY content 👍😎❤️🇬🇧

[@mikeschirmer6926]

You both did such a awesome job but yes put a good sealant around everything that gets water on it for sure great job guys

[@tommyrt681]

I just bought a Riptide Terrova for my Key West 1720. I was wondering how I was going to gain access to putting the washer and bolt on. Watching you cut that hole has me feeling not so good since my boat is a 2023. Lol. Thank you for making this video. It's going to help me out a lot on the installation

[@-RONNIE]

Good job 👍🏻

[@josephaguon703]

Gosh I thought you messed up your boat installation for your trolling motor eventually you have to modify especially your wiring. Great video 👍🤙 congrats on your new motor 🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍

[@daveholte7658]

Well done on install. Looks great. Happy to see Soldering the battery Connections. A must. If I could add one thing...... The sliding black depth collar on the shaft? I always slide this down towards the housing for extra support and Security ...... I have seen a few Minnkotas on boats when up on plane hit a big wave and accidentally deploys into the water. Thus a completely damaged Minnkota and nasty boat repair. I got in the habit to slide the collar down on all my boats during trailering or up on plane. Don’t have to going spot to spot but for sure the long runs Just sayin Fish On

[@craigfrancis8336]

Jackie, Good job, but you should install an inline breaker so you don't burn up your motor. I didn't see where you installed one, but it is hard to watch everything when you are in the movie. 😉

[@wayneknicely1873]

For the anchor. Put a cleat on the top right hand side of the anchor hatch. Get longer stainless screws and put a 4" x 8" x 5/8" piece of wood on the inside and mount cleat through the boat top and wood. This will distribute the stress on the fiberglass and give you a secure point to tie off the anchor. Prevent the new motor from getting hit by the rope and make sure it is strong enough to tie off. Hope this might help or give you an idea of what you can do. Looks good!

[@fishnchips7823]

I sold my boat but I kept my Minn Kota trolling motor because when I retire and move to the east coast of TX I'm going to mount it on my next boat!! I loved using it around pylons and bridges when I live line for rockfish aka striped bass.

[@MikiLund]

you must put something on the bare glassfiber to keep the water out, glue of similar.

[@t-bone5522]

3 bolts and no aluminum back plate😮They just showed us all , how not to mount a trolling motor 😂 Sure hope she doesn’t run into rough seas😅 What a back alley hook up job. Just leave it to the professionals. At least you won’t have a 8” hole in your boat😂😂😂

[@ronaldharp4785]

got to cut hole in mine to mount the puck on front just like you did curious ,,what size hole cutter did you guys use to cut through that wall of fiberglass, just bought mine (2023)and after you cut the hole ,,Is it open on the other side???? Thanks, for your feed back..

[@bruceb7874]

Man with drill and fire make whole in boat and motor go vroom. GOOD Job!

[@JerseyJim57]

Hey Jacki & Louis, You guys are made for each other when can I come down and fish with you guys? Jersey Jim! Guys are so much fun to watch, when are you getting married? And how is Sarah your sister?

[@christopherperkon8910]

Cool...now you can do more!! Nice job..Thanks for sharing & always learning is Good!! Lol.xo

[@LunkerFishing]

Jackie, you need a tie down to keep the trolling motor in the up position when you are running in rough water. There are straps you can buy to secure the unit to the chrome rail on the left. If you can find nothing you like you can get a heavy duty velcro strap. I know there is a lock at the base to keep it in the up position but if you are in really rough water or fail to lock that in properly it can bounce up and go into the deployed position. There has been many a boat that has had that happen and at speed it will rip the entire unit off the bow and you will lose it to the sea. You only need to secure it that way in heavy seas.

[@daveerb2877]

Well as always thanks for another great video y'all our favorite Florida girl Hope to see you back in Florida with your sister Like i always say Be safe and healthy and enjoy life to the fullest God bless and be happy and smiling

[@stevedockery3534]

Enjoy your new trolling motor, and catch a lot of snook. Good luck. Steve

[@JackDrenalin]

Did you consider drilling another hole in the middle of the plate and use a large washer as a pseudo backplate. Just to give u so e added security. Great install though.

[@OldCityVlogs]

Never fun putting holes in your boat lol. nice job! Get dem fish!

[@marccawley761]

I would have gone to the hardware store for some longer bolts instead of weakening the mount by drilling it out.. but you do you

[@REDWhiteblue-uh1zp]

Girl, you're tough. I think you could do the next one yourself. This guy did a great job showing you.. only suggestion I have. Get a decent anchor chain and line. Then take the time to stow it properly. If you ever get in a jam. Need your anchor. You don't want to have to be fooling around with the line.

[@Boat_FishingDoduJeju]

Good job. I have installed 12v 55lb terrova too on my 23foot center console (lighter than USA hull)

[@FloridaNative83]

How does a girl like this shack up with a tool bag like that? Jesus Christ And cutting that massive hole from the anchor box to the bow was unnecessary. They make a toggle bolt.

[@curtisanderson1830]

When you get your next boat get and ulterra with an Hummingbird GPS fish finder. You'll love it

[@knotflexin7669]

I took out my shark eyes navigation lights to bolt mine on.

[@SuperDave21]

Jacki, can you come to Oklahoma and stay with me for a few days? You're a blast to be around, I can tell...might be fun!

[@gravelmountain]

Curious why you didn't use the trolling motor plug as designed and you placed wires on the inside? I assume to keep wires neat - but it made you create another hole right? Just curious why you did this.

[@lenward474]

Was it just me? There was a red red dealing washer left on dock during prop install?????

[@halgoodman8154]

You are going to love that trolling motor. I have a Minn Kota Riptide with the I-Pilot and spot lock and the quik release on a 20 foot bay boat and I never use my anchor. It is great to just ease up to a spot cut the engine use the trolling motor to get in position without spooking the fish and hitting the spot lock. If you need to move a little you just release the spot lock and use the trolling motor. No having to pull the anchor, move the boat with the engine and reset the anchor. All of which can disturb the fish.

[@lilbozo7985]

Jacki Shea makes everything look fun

[@reelteamfishing2871]

i put nrope guides on each side of my trolling motor to keep rope away from motor their easily available at west marine.

[@SuperButch1951]

Hey, Jacki: You've got that little boat all sharp and ready to fish. You and Louis did a great job. And by yourselves which always helps impress us. Keep smiling and posting, I your #1 Fan will be here.

[@texxwash3524]

@jackieshea, Luis is so patient with you. Nice young man. I approve. 👍🍍

[@oldmatescano7370]

Did old mate that was helping you with the install have a couple of joints earlier in the day or something? He seemed super chilled throughout the whole process. 😂

[@Dbarr311]

I see Jacki Shea I click!

[@captjackishea]

Awesome!!!😊

[@jasonwallace967]

Excellent job, I put mine on my new boat last summer ( first one) almost exactly this way. Now wishing I got the Rip Tide. Keep up the great Videos jacki

I didn’t read every comment but did y’all see that hickey holy Jesus Louis be getting serious in the sheets lol

[@rogermaceda2278]

Nice catch..thumbsak done.. keep sharing and god bless

[@retrodealer6495]

Is that your son Louis going to help you with the boat?. Or little brother because he looks like a younger brother?.

[@josephryan1576]

Do you still have the boat? How has the trolling motor worked out?

[@teasingbrown75]

I the tone of voice and the way she speaks !! Her English is unlike anything I've heard. It's sexy ... it's really nice to hear! I love Jacki Shea.

[@lenward474]

Urethane or marinetex the opening!!!!!no silicone ever!!!!!!!!!

[@RyanSGood]

Looks good! You'll want to add a circuit breaker in the positive cable near the battery so you don't burn it up accidently. And an on board charger to keep your battery topped off will be greatly appreciated,

[@bjsmith9191]

Mine didn't come with those little red and black plastic caps

[@maxmillion4216]

More thumb nail photos please. Jacki always looks like a million bucks even while working on her boat.

[@TopShelfLife]

Luis what did you do to her neck? 🤣🤣🤣

[@jonesjones6124]

Come on, just cram the anchor rope in the hold??? Lol!!! How ya' gonna get that thang out of there!!! The captain would be very upset with you!!! Lmao!!! 👍✌😉!!!

[@captjackishea]

lol figured i would fix it later!

Nice job!! curious how the 55lb holds in strong current on your boat.

You will need a stabilizer bar for the pole😅

alam yang bagus..salam kenal..saya angler dari west borneo (indonesia)

[@dannyclary7739]

Good job y'all. Both of your patience is admirable.

[@brdemkr01]

For the install on my carolina skiff, I couldn't use all four of the predrilled holes in the puck due to clearance issues like you. So I used 3 of the predrilled ones like you did. When I first used it, I noticed the trolling motor rocked a bit on the mount, so I drilled a extra hole in the puck and added another bolt. It's rock solid now!

[@captjackishea]

Thank you for the tip!! I’ll have to keep an eye on mine and see if that happens so I can fix it!

[@davidhopson7730]

I'm happy for you and I'm sure you will enjoy it

[@warrenlouisiana2277]

Really glad to see u improving ur boat,,,,

[@balddj5529]

Great video Jacki!! When you do the sound system go with a Clarion head and JL Amp and speakers. I just did it in my boat and sounds freakin amazing!!!!

[@captjackishea]

I will look into that! Thank you!

[@ericsproutfourteen5307]

It's scary drilling into any part of a boat especially with that huge bit but I trust Lewis so you're in good hands! You two work well together. The one thing you mentioned that you wanted was a sound system the pairs with your phone. This is a must have luxury! Goodluck and Thxs for the video Respectfully, 14 😊

[@captjackishea]

Yes I can see how it would be a total game changer! I am doing my research on sound systems for sure! :)

[@onebadwestie]

Quick tip. If you put this on a trailer for travel move the adjustment for length in the water down to the very bottom just in case you hit a bump. This will keep it from accidentally deploying!

[@captjackishea]

thank you!!

[@251reeling9]

Did the bar you pushed through have a retaining clip to lock it.

[@captjackishea]

Are you talking about the shaft of the trolling motor? If so yes it has a clip to lock the end in place once you slide it into position!

[@rubberduckscott]

I really love how you are a True hands on person and not just one of those fake people
