    Lovely video man. I just rigged up the same motor on my kayak over the weekend and I love it!! I used foot controlled steering instead, it’s pretty solid for now.. Great job guys

    Indicator light is kind of pointless because I can go all day on a 55lb and might drop one light, I just top the battery off every so often. Glue lined shrink tubing since it's around moisture wouldn't hurt. Nice job though, thank you.

    Thanks for the video, I've been rigging my canoe with a trolling motor, I already have a pwm. I have watched lots of KZread videos on hooking up tiller pole steering and think I will duplicate yours. Is the system still working well, anything your would do differently? Thanks Rich

    What about reverse. With motor lock zip tied open, when you use reverse doesn't motor want to come up?

  • @WaynJul

    @WaynJul

    2 жыл бұрын

    Reverse has very little torque. It is up to you if you want to lock your trolling motor. One of the trolling motors has a release rope to unlock the trolling motor to lift it up. kzread.info/dash/bejne/hoBquc6RZreWlag.html

    You must understand. As a child Me and my friends called ourselves the river rats. We floated down the river freestyle or on a log we pulled off the bank. Yes now I believe in wearing a PFD and just got on the kayak for quick test and forgot to grab one for legal reasons.

    Easy conversion, but, you guys made it more complicated than necessary. Maybe 2 hands is better than 4.
