Making of My Mud Motor

[@tabthom5639]

shallow water ... no problem .. grassy .. no problem.. this thing is awesome . had regular boat motors my hole life . wow wish had a mud motor years ago . so nice not worry bout pumpin water in the shallows !

[@tedsell1455]

Nice build ,looks bad ass ! Thanks🛠

[@londanner5251]

I cut down a pontoon boat from 8 x 20 to 6x20 im trying to put a mud motor on it.... I bought a home made used one..... the knuckle was shot so ii replaced it.. well it shake rattles n rolls I figure the angle of the shafts to much so im going to move the angle up and replace the 6ft shaft with a 10 ft shaft,. what do you think?

[@stevenrrobinson3680]

Patient that design and start building man!

[@huxmetalworks7371]

I have a couple of questions can you tell me the angle of the prop tube also how long is your axle shaft and axle tube thanks for sharing

[@justiceowens3045]

Thinking of building one of these... where did you get the tapered shaft for the propeller?

[@whayes1282]

Loved the video.

[@carmelpule6954]

It is a good idea, but with the universal joint having such a high angle to operate in, the propeller will not rotate as a" constant velocity joint" and will introduce non constant rotation fatigue on the shaft, so I wonder how long it will last.

[@kennyf.8827]

You are correct in stating the inconstant rotational velocity; however, all non-straight drive shafts are put under this strain and are only smoothed by a second universal joint. Put simply you are just removing the later part of the mechanism and should not have any mechanical issues. This will will however give the propeller an inconsistent rotational speed but would probably be unnoticeable.

What did you use for bearing or bushings in the drive shaft housing??

[@jamescagle2160]

What size shaft did u use and where did u get you bushing ot bearings

[@predator6707]

I like that Build good job

[@WillemLuntungan]

Nice vidio

[@kevinantivirus]

how did you attached the drive to the shaft

[@huxmetalworks7371]

Nice build do you offer plans

[@chordmerchant7787]

You said, "no generator" do you mean to charge your batteries? There should be a lighting/charging coil on that motor, if it has electric start. If it's AC, all you need to do is build or buy a full wave bridge to convert to DC. It's simple to do, but I would imagine it's read to go. Again, that's if it's electric start. I didn't look for it when I was watching the video.

[@jonhunt7466]

how much did it cost to build?

[@sembedolla1990]

Me podrías compartir los planos de la estructura para el' motor?

[@timm.7199]

So there were these 2 guys gigging frogs (or mullet, if you like!) from their jon boat. The guy up front sat on the bow with his feet hanging over the front, dangling in the water. He shone his headlight till he saw 2 eyes and gigged right in between em and dropped the frog into his gunny sack. After a while he gigged one and when he pulled it up, there was a water moccasin had grabbed the back end of the frog and was eating it! Well, that feller pondered it all for a moment, then reached back and pulled his Jack Daniel flask out of his pocket and dribbled a few drops into that moccasin's mouth. It spit out the frog, the guy yelled to the driver to get him outa there and soon, they were gigging frogs again, happy as clams. Suddenly the man felt a tug on his pant leg and looked down. There was that water moccasin again with another frog for him - in trade for some more Jack Daniels!

[@iwantosavemoney]

all of this to gig frogs got to love that

[@jasonfulcher204]

did you use a pipe bender ?

[@gaugecalcione736]

nice build

[@433herlihy]

Great video tab!

[@tabthom5639]

hopefully watch your video soon ... lol

[@kristigrassi]

A lot of repeat long shot pictures. Would prefer some closeup details. Not shown is how the Thrust is displaced from the prop. Where is the thrust bearing....or is there one?

[@thesputtus]

Nice design!

[@tabthom5639]

thanks

[@connerhicks5372]

how much did build cost, can you build me one?

[@coburnlowman]

Nice. What about reverse?

[@tabthom5639]

welp no reverse , but motor does turn ya around in your track , but sometimes push pole is needed , lol
