Very impressive motor performance. I've read that the Haswing motors are loud, though that wasn't evident in you video. Do you find them loud, or at least significantly louder than a typical trolling motor? Thanks!

thanks I now have two identical haswing motors fitted, they are nice and quite unless at full power setting. I normally cruise at 50% power at around 5 knots, my boat is 23 feet long and weighs just over a ton

Haswing makes More efficient motors than minn kota or motorguide because haswing use brushless motors. I tested agains minn kota and haswing is over 300% More efficient 24v . Only downfall IS The noise haswing motors are noisier

Thanks, I have since added another motor of dual propulsion, its all working well, video to follow, The only downside I can see is they don't like salt water that much, lots of rinsing and spray with down with oil seems to do the trick before storage.
