I BOUGHT A $350 ELECTRIC JET BOAT MOTOR ON AMAZON!

[@TightlineTV]

DROP ME A COMMENT 👊🏻 Yes I know, it’s a motor not engine 😂 Ps, batteries were $169.99 Vs. $400 from the last setup

[@Alberthoward3right9up]

The tip was the order to put the terminals on so you don't cause a voltage spike. Which was probably the kick you got 😂

[@Alberthoward3right9up]

Another thing is making sure the depth of the jet below the bottom of the boat.

[@mortneff438]

First this. Engine and Motor are the same despite all the goofy arguements. "mo·tor [ˈmōdər] NOUN a machine, especially one powered by electricity or internal combustion, that supplies motive power for a vehicle or for some other device with moving parts." "en·gine [ˈenjən] NOUN a machine with moving parts that converts power into motion: "the roar of a car engine" · [more] synonyms: motor · mechanism · machine · power source · drive" Secondly where can you get the 48V pack for that price?

[@rochboulanger6565]

My old Minn Kota 12V trolling motor (40 pounds thrust) does 4mph.

[@arifeliciano1275]

I really doubt that motor is 4hp. I have seen 400watts (1/2 hp) advertized as 4 hp. Use a power conversion calculator or do the math 1,000 whatts = 1.3 hp

[@thomasgarrison3949]

Thanks for reviewing the electric jet boat motor, so I won't waist my money on one. I still love my, 10 year old, Minn Kota 55lb Endura Max, with a new $120 EverStart Maxx Marine Battery, Size 29DC, from WalMart. That set up works great all day, even going 12 miles up river to a Lake where most boats can't go & running the nav lights, so I can be there at first light. I have a 14' flatback canoe & a Bass Raider 10E. I get 7mph with my canoe & 5mph with my Bass Raider, going up wind & up river, loaded with 2 heavy people. (about 10-12mph down wind & down river). FYI: I always go up river first incase I breakdown, which happened once when the fuse blew & I didn't pack a spare, paddling down river is much easier.

[@JamesWood-dj1lf]

Two years later this motor is going strong kzbin.infoUgkxBZWgzfpS2Jj7JqIHyaSZjyVHNUgCKCBf Just uploaded a video of it after 2 years. We use it probably a dozen days each year on our small raft.-original review- We got this motor the other day and tested it out. I don't have anything to compare it to, but it seems good to me. It has all the features advertised - the motor housing is metal. We will see how it performs longer term and I will revise this review if needed. Some initial observations:- Good thrust, moves our boat around really well- It comes with a circuit breaker but no switch - so there's no way to kill the motor other than yanking the connection off the battery. I installed an inline switch.- The mount bracket is plastic and I worry it might break- There are a number of plastic parts that I worry about, but the most important ones are metal or some kind of composite

[@Chris-oj7ro]

Some have said it already but I'll say it and explain it. The jet output needs to be above the water. Do that and you'll go faster. The reason is that when you shoot the jet out under the water, the water itself is resistance. It's as if you were blocking the jet with your hand. Look at any video of a boat with a jet drive and you'll see they all have the jet spraying out above the surface of the water. Please try this again with the motor mounted higher so the jet shoots out into the air. It looks like the mounting bracket allows for easy height adjustment, and it's probably for the very reason I explained. It might be a bit of a balancing act to get the intake deep enough to not suck in air and the output high enough to spray into the air, but I guarantee it will go faster! I subbed and I'm hoping you do a follow-up video!

A typical loss in jet outboards is 1/3 the motors rated horse power. I run a 60/90. 60 hp power at the jet with a 90 hp power head. Jet outboards in a river is all about "how shallow you can go" because there is no gearbox or prop below the bottom of the boat. With a 60hp at the jet my LOWES 1760 w/ a tunnel hull runs between 30 and 35 mph upstream in a 6 mph current. But remember avoiding obstacles in a river at speed is a challenge, but it is the speed that keeps you on top of the water running with minimal draft. It's like a game of "chicken" It is not "if you hit something" it's more of a matter of when. Yes my boat has some dents and has been welded. For your lake fishing....ditch the "jet" idea and run a prop. It's has a much better efficiency ratio letting you cover more area fishing. 😎

I have a Tomking TK 144FC. Its a 23 LB four cycle 53 CC gas outboard with a 7 inch aluminum propeller. 275 to my door from gomaxind Fort Lauderdale. I filed and shimmed the flywheel key because it came ignition too far advanced. I swapped out the centrifugal clutch springs for light ones, so any running speed is under power. The propeller got a hand finish, for a big increase in thrust and drag reduction. It will troll on 7 ounces an hour and light cruise on 10 - 20 ounces of gas. 20W50oil and 85W140 gear oil for the bottom. I filed inside burs and stuck a swiffer mop handle in the handle so i can steer from the middle bench. Don't get a 2 cycle. Don't get water cooled. Don't get an electric, nor a trolling motor. There's also a 36 CC four cycle for crazy light power.

[@TGiFoosday]

Voltage is speed with Emotors, checking what voltage is getting to the motor and how much it drops when operating (current usage) will let you know what needs to change for better performance...fun project I bet, even with chinglish information. Outboard configuration is really bad efficiency for the jet drive also, direct in line motor-drive would impress you better lol 😆

Can you raise the (assembly) in the mount enough for the nozzle to be above water when using it? A jet drive will produce more torque when the pressurized water is released into atmosphere instead of underwater.

[@termiterasin]

why?

[@acme_tnt8741]

Yeah why? And how? By torque do you mean thrust?

[@broomstraw2357]

I'm not an expert but in theory it makes sense. Water will move thru air faster than thru more water

That is not true, 😂.

[@orlandomah1186]

🤣🤣🤣 yeah why didnt the manufacturers route the jet above waterline? Torque and thrust are not the same. If it was like that, all outboards would be pushing out in air instead of water. It needs the backpressure of the water to move the boat forward. Its not an airplane

You can get a quick release thread for the transom tilt. If your battery is not optimal output you will not utilize the full potential of the motor. All jet drives reduce the power output even in gas jet drives. You lose 28 to 32 HP depending on your setup.

[@jeffreywhicker8947]

I have a Minnkota trolling motor on my 15' boat that i mount next to my 30 Horse Johnson. But to make it fit, I had to eliminate the wide handle and head unit & replace it with an electric conduit entrance elbow & short piece of pvc pipe with a bike type handlebar grip. I didn't use the speed selector switch either, I just used a simple on/off toggle switch, to save room. After all,the 3 speeds this low output trolling motor had were slowest, slower & slow, not slow, faster, & fastest.

[@C10sRule]

A jet boat takes more HP for the same output at the drive. If you get a Mercury 40 hp jet boat it actually has a 60 hp head in order to perform the same as a 40 hp propeller driven outboard. This was explained to me by the boat guy at Bass Pro. I read a similar example for Yamaha.

[@MikeTheMachineLevine]

jets lose about 30% in HP reduction due to inefficiency in propulsion. 60hp jet drive is really a 90hp motor or vice versa. 5hp probably runs at 3 HP. Other factors like the impeller and how close it is to the sleeve (wall) can greatly effect performance. Jet impellers need to be adjusted for very tight tolerance to get maximum thrust. There are other factors as well. I am sure if you put more juice to that thing you could get a little more out of it but if you're looking for performance you go with a prop.

[@t-bone43]

That is correct. A 150hp jet outboard only produces 105hp of the jet pump.

[@mikemathis3936]

@@t-bone43 That is not inherant to all jets. Just the ones that were designed in the 1950s to0 be bolt ons to a number of outboards lower units. They are basically the only outboard jets that you will see todayl. But while most single propellors ope4rating within their designed limits are at most 65% efficient at turning motor power into boat movement, many modern jets reach 90% efficiency at their design speeds.This lil jet motors biggest problem was that it was discharging underwater instead of into the air. That wastes 30% of the the horsepower that it used

[@Landriault162]

Water jets have the best tow capacity. That's why Towing boat's are all jet powered today. The motor of this video dont have a Resonable rpm to achive speed results. Good water jet need to reach 8k-9k RPM. In term of electric water jets, they can reach 10k-35k RPM...

Possible double your battery bank increases the amps available to the motors possibly then you might reach the rated hp. And hit 6mph

Couple of things, I looked this thing up on Amazon. It says it's rated at 4HP, and 1000W. 1000W is about 1.35 horsepower. Hmmm. If your voltage is at 50 when the motor is running full out, it's not the battery. Generally jets are for shallow water like rivers. They are fundamentally less efficient than propeller, usually by a good 25%. I hunt in rivers, so I have some interest in a little jet, but I think I need at least twice the power of this thing to get value from it. Thanks for the review.

It holds the power of 10 car batteries but weighs less than 1 car battery. And it can be recharged 2500 times.

[@KevinSmith-os5yz]

A short 10ft boat isn't going to be very fast unless he gets it up on plane, for that he will need more than 5hp. His longer boat probably was faster even though it was heavier. My 23 ft sailboats hull speed is around 6mph, pretty much no matter how much power. So yeah, that little 10ft isn't going much faster until he starts putting way more power than its rated for. Btw I have the same boat, kinda wish I had gotten a 14ft instead.

props are generally more efficient and faster than jets, unless/until you get into very high speed, then jets can be faster because they don't have the drag of the prop shaft, skeg, rudder, etc...

Still a pretty good value, especially since you were able to get 5 mph with 2 people in the Jon boat and your 12 amp battery lasted for so long. Amazing!

@@MrWhiltetail I get 3.5hp subtracting 30% from 5hp.. thought he said 5hp, but maybe that's were the math difference is..

[@MrWhiltetail]

@@djmjr77 @13:34 he states he thinks the prop version & this one are both 4Hp because they are the same wattage. So I went based off that.

@@MrWhiltetail yea that'll do it, I thought I heard 5.. didnt go back to check..

Moving from prop to jet pump there is typically a 30% loss of realized power. Them just slapping a jet on a prop motor won't compare to the prop version. Real jet boat motors are made to run at optimum levels to support the jet pump. Jet boats are definitely not slow because they take the power conversion loss into account.

[@aaronhill7197]

20% loss that’s why they call a 60hp a 60-40

[@CarewBro1]

@@aaronhill7197 You don't really think dropping from 60 to 40 is 20% do you? 20 is 33.3% of 60

In marine applications, There is Generally around a 30% reduction in Efficiency between a typical prop and a jet drive.. With the prop being more efficient

[@mikehopkins3878]

have the gasoline version. had to check and tighten every bolt and screw. no fluid in the lower end. plastic prop shitty, put metal on it. loud like a weed eater. does good though after all that

Write this down: Tomking TK144FC. It's a 23 LB four cycle outboard. I filed and set the ignition back so it will idle cool. Also, change the centrifugal springs so you can troll. A hand finish on the aluminum propeller will make it cleaner and faster. gomaxind was my source. 275 to my door. Electric is always way heavier and more expensive.

[@dougstobaugh376]

This is good for a back up motor you do need life vests and Paddles and safety orange flags and a fire extinguisher and a wisseal or horn boat tags an anchor anyway best of luck. GOD-BLESS.

[@maddgoatee9708]

Jet outboard is not efficient as a prop outboard in the same HP. Ya, a side by side would be cool to watch. LOL you called that one an engine too. Right when you were about to show us the batteries. Bet you did that on purpose. LOL love it.

[@codyrivenburgh7645]

They say jet unit drive outboards loose something like 20percent over the same horsepower with a standard prop

I don't know if anyone has commented on this, but I think Lithium batteries and heavier gauge lead wires would improve current output.

Take the trolling motor and put a kipawa prop on it then check speed and how long it last...it will amaze you

[@karaleeann1211]

Do you need a paddle in case you get stuck out there in the lake? Not very bright!

[@danmyers3330]

I would like to know the longevity of them. If they only work for a short time then they are not worth the cost, I have two trolling motors with about 500 hours on them and they are still working well but I'm looking for more power for the cost. You said that those are 4hp and a trolling motor with 55lbs of thrust is a little under a 1hp motor.

[@justinb7320]

What size and brand is the boat?

[@lotsofbass1695]

Been a sub sine you was just getting it going its awsome still seeing you making videos and growing !

[@TightlineTV]

Thanks for sticking around!

[@Rocker6969]

These motors are now selling on Amazon for around $220. I guess they lowered the price because they're not good.
