Thanks for the detailed video. Question…what gauge wire did you use from splicing battery to SAE? 8? 10?

@LunkerHunter

12 gauge. It was from car jump cable wire

Couldn’t get the links to male/female connectors with wall ports to work. All others worked. Thx.

Looking to put a PWM on mine also. Got the same kayak. Love it! What PWM do you have? What’s the size of the trolling motor?

The link to the pwm and motor are in the video description. It’s a 30 lb thrust Minn Kota. Good luck on your build! It will be well worth it. Thanks for watching!

How hot does it get with in sealed in the box? Great video!

Not too bad! I ran it during an al fay tournament with no issues. I haven’t used it in the 110 deg Texas heat though. Get a white box and a PWM controller with a fan.

Did you not need to wire up the white and yellow cables from the Endura c2? Also, did you use butt connectors within the black tubing? Thank you for this video!!! I got a lot of inspiration from it!!

@LunkerHunter

I did not use the white and yellow wires. I just kept them in the trolling motor tubing. I used butt connectors and bought rubber heat shrink tubing to go over the butt connectors to seal them and waterproof them.

Having a fan in an enclosed non vented box does nothing but increase the heat within the unit.

Agreed. Any suggestions on how to make it vented while keeping it waterproof? I have yet to have any issues, knock on wood.

I have learned that the forward reverse switch is NOT waterproof. Water splashed onto mine and set the motor in reverse on both settings. Had to lean over and blow it out. Anyone else had this problem ?

@Robley35 That’s a good idea. Let me know how that works.

Nice work and nice video, but I'm concerned about heat build up in the plastic box at high sustained speeds. Sure the fan blows air across the PWM but then the air has nowhere to go and just recirculates while getting hotter with each pass. If heat build up becomes a problem, a metal box or a heat sink of some sort might be something to consider.

Your thought is correct, however I haven’t had any issues with overheating, knock on wood. I have fished in 100+ temps. I have considered drilling some small holes on the bottom, however I worry that would take away from the waterproofing. I have fished in pouring rain for 8+ hours and the waterproof box has saved my butt. What do you mean by heat sink?

@rogerolander458

@@LunkerHunter A heat sink is usually a finned piece of metal that is attached to a hot device in manner that transfers heat away from the hot device and dissipates the heat to the surrounding air or water - like the finned head and cylinder of an air cooled engine. Hard to see how it would work in a box though because of the need to mount the sink outside the box with the ESC/PMW inside - big leak potential! However, a water cooling copper coil might be feasible - I saw one guy using an old car window washer pump to supply water to a water cooled ESC.

Just a question, I made my setup to a T as per this video. I had great success on the first run but the next day the fan on the pwn will turn on but the pwm won't activate the motor. Any info would help.

Make sure all your wire connections are solid. Check the knob on the pwm box that you turn for power, to make sure all the wires are connected. If this knob isn’t tight enough, and you twist it you can disconnect the small wires on it. This happened to me once. The issues has to be with the wiring, so be thorough with everything. Let me know what you find out.

Just subbed, wondering how this is holding up.

How's the 50 amp battery working out so far? Just wondering if it would last all day? And have you had any trouble with the pwm?
