My Illegal Tugboat Is Now An R/C Toy!

The Minnesota DNR said my modified sandbox is legally a toy, not a boat. So I doubled down by making it a radio controlled toy! Now Tuggy can pull barges around, and if the barge happens to be my kayak, that's perfectly legal, right? Tuggy now has full radio control, a louder horn, and only occasionally catches on fire. I even dumpster-dived a zombie child Halloween decoration to be the new captain. Honestly I'm pretty sure this thing is more of a hazard to navigation than before, but at least it's not a "boat", so the DNR should be perfectly happy!

We built a floating dock here in Michigan but used a trolling motor to bring it out to the middle of the lake and back. Our DNR says if it has a motor and being using in the water, it has to have an MC number. I went to our local Secretary of State and told them I built a custom boat with motor. They gave me my MC number. I went to Home Depot and bought the sticker numbers and posted on the side of the dock. You should have seen the faces of the DNR when I went motoring by them in my 16x16 float dock. They did not pull me over or say a word. Lol

See, I tried to say I built a custom boat, and our DNR wanted pictures, then they didn't like what they saw. Couple years ago we built an 8x16 raft out of barrels and plywood, and they let us register that just fine!

not a licencing issue cos we never motorised it, we built a floating platform out of big 1ft chunks of styrofoam. to keep it from shedding beads and to give some texture, we wrapped it all in a cream shade cloth. when moored in deeper water, it looked like it was made of limestone. apparently we confused quite a few beachwalkers as to how on earth we made limestone float.

For me the issue with cheap trailer lights has always been the wiring. Its always copper coated aluminum that just disintegrates when any moisture appears. Replacing it with actual copper wire with silicone insulators is what solved it for me. The replaced wiring on my crappy Harbor Freight trailer is going on 7 years now without any adjustment, while the original wiring lasted like 1 year.

My uncle used bulk extension cord wire for his trailer and it has been working fine ever since. It looks cool with the orange wire going down the tongue and branching off from a waterproof junction box. It has worked for more than 5 years accept for the bulbs always going out it is a perfect sa;ution using the bulk extension cord wire.

I made a trailer bumber and set all the lights under metal grills. Also used marine wire in spools. You can just buy the appropriate pig-tail. Never rely on chassis grounds lights either. My chassis is grounded but each light is 3 wire and gets linked in. No problems for over ten years. Also put the pig-tail in plastic conduit and have it attached close to the tongue so it isn't long enough to get run over or drag (seen many like that).

What a great video! I admire how you always turn a hopeless situation into something good. If you can't get it registered as a boat, then you make an RC model that pulls you in the water with a kayak-simply brilliant. The doll, though, is quite scary and creepy. The horn is a very good idea for attracting attention. And then the magical smoke from the electronics box-this video had it all. It definitely deserves a sequel.

You can test that ammeter with a known load. Plug in a 120V lamp, separate the cords, and put a 100W conventional light bulb in it. Using Ohms law, you can determine that it should draw 0.83 amps. If you need more current in order to test the scale, you can use some of those 300W halogen outdoor lights.

If you don't know exactly how much current the motor can draw, you can measure the internal resistance of the motor. When an electric motor is in operation, all sorts of other physical laws come into play that limit the current consumption, but with the measured resistance you can roughly calculate the current consumption of the motor when blocked, and this is usually higher than the current consumption in normal operation. If you set the speed controller to this current, you are relatively on the safe side, but a fuse in the battery supply line doesn't do any harm! For comparison: my XL Springer Tug initially had a brush motor with a nominal current of 10A, although the ESC was supposed to withstand 25A, it still burned out. A brushless motor is now installed, which requires 2A in the air when idling and 26A in the water under full load. When driving quietly, with about 35% throttle, i measured 3A. I don't have the exact technical data for the controller I'm using now, which is why it was so cheap to get, however, the transistors built into the controller can handle up to 90A. I'm guessing that with a bit of a buffer, it can be used for up to 75A continuous current, which is almost three times the maximum current of the motor. Now i have fun without burning enything: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnSmqXyId5Zrp68si=hv1sQ_Q07HzSLd3p

Love the project, the 100W power you mentioned , I would look at the ratings and go 50 to 100% over , especially when uncertainty is high. Put fuses in, they can save wiring catching fire incase of a short with high power and a 500mA can save an arduino. Ive seen sat dish linear actuators in a skip at a caravan dealers, probably a good place to ask for old ones., Had to look up DNR. Use AWG cable table and calculate voltage loss and lII bet you will go to thicker cable.Great to see the workshop, hoarding is a process where scrap turns into treasure. Its like Alchemy.

Our solution to the trailer light problem was to invest in one really expensive set that we use across all our trailers. they have clamps and magnets, and a really long cable. Its fully potted in epoxy, all the wires are sealed in glue back heatshrink. we have I think 6 trailers in the fleet at last count, so could justify spending a bit on good lamps. just clip them on whatever one your using that day. but the best part is that they live in a bag in the cab of the truck, so dont spend months between use sitting out in the weather, and you can remove them before you reverse the trailer so they never get submerged. they've lasted a good 5 years. we also do a similar trick with the licence plate, trailers here are all lumped together as 'single axle trailer', no differentiation if its a boat trailer, box trailer, firefighting unit, caravan etc. that lives in the same bag as the lights. makes buying stuff on trailers really easy, in 5 minutes you can have a licenced trailer with lights you trust. I dont think its technically legal, but if the lights work and the plates check out when they're run, they have no reason to stop you. Thats been our solution. That idea came from a friend who had a government issue work truck, and government licence plates look very different to civilian ones. he was in the habit of going fishing on his lunch break, and using the truck to tow his boat on the weekend, which technically wasn't supposed to. so he glued some fridge magnets to a civvy plate he 'acquired', and used that to cover his plates whilst parked at the boat ramp. not driving on the roads with it, so not strictly illegal. and unfortunately yes, it was necessary, some Karen (although that term hadn't been coined then) had phoned up the cops to investigate why a government vehicle was at the boat ramp on a Sunday afternoon with an empty trailer, which led to an uncomfortable conversation with his boss. he didnt mind personally, but it had caused him a whole pile of paperwork and pointless work. thanks Karen.

I gave up on lighting my boat trailer almost every season. I gave up and bought magnetic lights and a harmless for towing vehicles from Harbor Freight for really cheap money. I zip tie the wires on the trailer and take it off when trip are done. The magnets are a bit wimpy VS a good set so I zip tie them too. It came in formed clam shell packaging I was carful to open in a way that I could reclose well. It's minimal protection but it is enough plus it keeps the wires untangled because of how they need to be put back.. I store them inside with life vests I don't want mice to harvest nests from. I've had the same set for about 8 years now and never looked back. It's a small amount of work VS hooking up to go somewhere and something being wrong...again. The plan is top remove them so I just slap them on without diagnostics, snaking wires and the rest of the BS when I should be fishing. I can even use the same set for all the trailers... or if I ever do tow a car. I have never looked back. If I do up grade these I will probably use the super velcro that holds toll passes to windsheilds. I bough a roll for the RV off A-zon and it is great stuff to have around. Crazy strong!!! Been fun watching ya for a while, hope ya see this and it pay ya back a bit.

I've dragged a pair of the Harbor freight magnetic bases and they're still working awesome. No complaints!!!

Well now i want that boat too. xD With modern RC electronics it could be a hell of a tuggy. 2.4Ghz Receiver, 2 Brushless Motors (4000KV) with a Kort Turbine, LiPoFe4 Batterys.

Great episode! Hehe, looked like zombie kid was afraid being on the trailer when you drove.

Glad that guy finally got his ski boat going. I'm sure at first he thought tuggy was a piece of junk but then tuggy did laps pulling a rider while his boat wouldn't start.

Awesome to see more of this boat, your original video actually inspired me! Crazy that DNR is so strict over there

You should do a super professional, high power build for RC tuggy, and use it constantly to spite the DNR by involving it in every activity you do on the water.

If you need a replacement 9V connector, bust open a dead 9V battery. Ive done this a few times and they work just fine.

Trailer light wiring needs to be protected pretty well. Some type of conduit from the tongue to the lights makes a big difference in how long the lights work. Hope this helps.

It's always wiring with the trailer lights. Invest is a nice wireless trailer light set up and you can use it on all of your trailers. Casey Ladelle (KZbinr) uses one that is powered by an M18 battery.

I work for a garbage company and we felt the same way about trailer lights. So we got a set of old chevy pickup tail lights and they've been going strong for 2 years now. Also slather your plug in grease to keep the corrosion away.
