Texas Power Paddle Gen 3 hack

Do it yourself and save a boatload. C'mon Texas Power Paddle, be reasonable.
Here's a link to the motor: bluerobotics.c...

Can't fault TPP for needing to make a profit as they have to cover a lot of cost for engineering, product research, testing, support, warranty, etc. That said, I thank you for this discovery. I plan to build a clone of the TPP system from scratch.

Wow!

[@JSAVGA]

Thank you for making us aware of options. Their "Blue Boat" uses two of these motors so I'm curious what only one will do on a kayak.

[@buildingcodepro9237]

About 3.5 to 4 mph on the hobie outback

[@EvenaGirlCanDoIt]

Do you think I can add that small yellow motor to the rudder on my Lynx or is it too heavy? Also where would I get the speed knob?

[@EvenaGirlCanDoIt]

I have Lynx. Do you think the little yellow motor is better than the remora? Is the yellow one faster

[@bounthieniemoumy6960]

What are the end connections called that plug into the battery? I’m needing to order one of those

[@racerxny1380]

Could I use a 12v 60ah Lifepo battery?

[@mikec8123]

Anyone have a link for a speed controller?

[@EvenaGirlCanDoIt]

Do you have a link for the speed controller?

[@Jonnysains]

whats the speed of this gen 3

[@buildingcodepro9237]

Too many factors determine speed, like type of kayak, current etc. It's about as fast as using the pedals. A little faster than trolling speed

[@Jonnysains]

awesome thanks for responding, i am looking at the blue robotics stuff and realized i can just buy the modified rudder from tpp for $99 and the rest i can build from the bluerobotics website, is there anything else i would need from tpp besides the ridder mod?

[@FIZANJET]

I dont think it can do as fast as bigger throlling motor like newport vessel..now i m using nk300..it is more fun..everything there in term of speed

[@buildingcodepro9237]

About 3 to 4 mph tops

[@FIZANJET]

Too expensive for that kind build..better newportvessel more powerful..

[@buildingcodepro9237]

Agreed. It is discreet though, which may get one by any restrictions. Also, it being on the rudder means the steering is easy and very responsive. I don't know about the newport
