Homemade Bait Boat Electrics
Very brief description of the electrics. A brief Explanation of what has been used and how it works. I will probably do a more detailed video when I get the LEDs and the top deck back from my friend who is fitting them. I will also post a video shortly of the boat on the water as it is. Any questions, just ask.

The batteries last really well but it obviously depends on how far you are sending the boat out etc. but the 7ah batteries that I use are spot on for me.
hi stix, could list all the componants you used. cheers buddy
What componenta will you use to operate the hopper ?
Can you reverse the boat at all with the impellor jets fitted.
Hi, i'm currently making a bait boat. What does yours weigh. What size is the outlet on the impeller jet? do you have a link for them? thanks

Neil Powell - hi Neil. If you search for NQD Impeller jet on eBay you should find loads of them. I changed the motors on mine as there wasn’t much info available on the ones that came with it. Sorry, I don’t know the weight of the boat as I haven’t weighed it.
Hi how did you solve the direction and reverse? I am discouraged from using 2 engines, because I will not be able to maneuver the boat

It’s set up as tank steer which means it can turn on a sixpence. I ended up taking the mixer unit out and changing my transmitter to the Turnigy FSi6 which allows you to do vtail mixes which really helps

Keolin Moodley hi. I didn't make the hull. I bought it off eBay. It was a prototype hull that they had made from fibreglass and only cost about £30.

les cooke the mixer was set up with pins 1 and 4 covered if that makes sense. So none of pins are joined. One of the leads went into Ch 2 and the other into ch4. I can’t remember which. The leads were then connected to the esc’s. Remember to remove one of the positive (red) cables from one of the esc’s as you don’t want both batteries powering the receiver. Hope this helps.
