Good video. If you wanna hook up a servo, you don't need a second ESC, you just plug the servo into the first port of the receiver, as long as the servo amp draw doesn't exceed the BEC output of the ESC. I'm using a 12v servo that takes its signal from the receiver and its power directly from the battery.

Thanks for the info but I prefer to steer with my feet.

iv done the same thing it works awesome took a $50 trolling motor added $100 worth of electronics to it and had it full RC with steering. tripped people out seeing a 12 foot aluminum boat get launched with nobody in it and it moves itself nicely to the dock when im ready to fish lol

Thank you! You made it so much easier to understand. Can’t wait to see the video for the steering servo.

Thank you for all your hard work. Cheers m8.

Great video. Also looking forward to seeing the steering servo install.

Hi Will I really like the way you explain everything

I'm glad it came across that way hope it helped.

I think my PWM went out and I'm looking at all options! Very good video!

Hey man first I wanna say thank you you’re video helped me accomplish my own rc trolling motor but I wanna suggest one thing. Get a metal servo horn the plastic one that comes with most servos seem to be fairly flimsy.

Thanks for info looks a great setup. Want to do same with trolling motor on hobbie outback removing twist and stow rudder.How did you fit rudder on trolling motor shaft.Many Thanks.

Your video has helped me out immensely, thank you for that. I am having an issue with the setup where the motor stops after about 6 seconds while on full throttle in the water. I have to turn the motor off and it resets, but repeats. I can use it on cruise to about 50% but then the motor shits out again. When the boat is out of the water I can run the motor at full speed for minutes at a time. Any ideas?

The fan in an enclosed box: it's adding heat, just stirring the air and adding a bit of it's own friction heat. The fan in a convection oven or air fryer does the same thing. If the box was ventilated and the air exchanged, like a fuel vent, that could help. It will run cooler without a fan in a sealed environment, not much, but you will lose the added noise and heat and save the power it is leeching. Thanks for the video.

Hi question looking at the specs on Amazon it says 6 volts how did you get around that or will it take 12 volts

I have a similar set up using that Hobbywing 880 and it works pretty good. The only situation that I have is that when I turn the remote control off, the trolling motor spins slowly. I can live with it because I have a switch to the ESC power but its curious. If I turn the remote back on the motor starts from a stopped position and the application works perfectly. But the battery still hooked up to the ESC with remote not powered up starts with a slow motor spin.

@@WillSelbyKayakFishing yes it's programmed. I got it working by centering for neutral or no current through one of the variable switches on the remote. All good now. Thanks!!

What the max lb thrust can be used for this setup?

Will a Traxxas esc and remote work for this also? I am real big into RC and have lots of left over electronics.

Yes as long as its a 4s or 6s. Also check the amps on the esc.

can you make a video on how to pair the remote with the esc? Thanks

I already have a video posted on that. It's right before this one. Thanks for watching.

Nice kayak setup and a good build, and very smart to install a kill switch and keep the ESC outside the kayak. But you need to be aware that those 16 gauge input wires will not handle the wattage required by larger trolling motors. The max amp draw for 16G is 13 amps, or 156 watts, no matter the length of the wire. The 880 is intended for rock crawlers that use small motors drawing small amperage (about 7.5 max on my Reedy 550) with 7.2 volt batteries, and never run at full speed for more than a few seconds. At full speed your trolling motor will draw about 25 amps max or 300 watts, twice the rating. I used a similar setup on a MK 30 with no problems because I only used it for slow trolling. After going up to a 46 lb thrust Newport and running 3/4 speed for about 15 minutes, the ESC got so hot it melted the 16g wires. A lot of guys are using the 880 inside the hull which is I consider pretty dangerous. As a member of a family full of attorneys, I see a big lawsuit coming for someone. I have specifically asked someone at HW if it was safe and he would not give me a yes or no answer. Have fun and be safe out there.

Thanks and I'm happy to conversate a bit with you always love talking kayaks and mods. One 16 gauge wire will not handle full speed you're correct which is why I have the two wires combined doubling the rating. I have ran this setup for over a year now with zero issues. Definitely always do your research before upgrading to a bigger motor the 880 definitely can't handle anything bigger than a 30 thrust trolling motor. I have a video coming out soon of another ESC that will handle a 55 lb thrust no problem.

Looking closely at the 4:29 mark, your voltage input wires are single, your output wires are doubled. My experience with the 880 was in 2019, since then I have used the MK control board 2774036 with no worries. After all, MK first introduced electronic speed control in the late 1980’s. The only negative is having to use a relay for the kill switch. Hope you have a good new year.

@ImaFisher-xe2oj I understand what you're saying but myself and the people who have followed my video have not had any issues with a 30 lb thrust trolling motor. I have had zero overheating issues. But I also don't go Max Speed 3/4 speed is the most I push it.

Hello, I just did this and am psyched to try it out. however, I have some questions regarding other ways to utilize the remote. Say I want to use a linear actuator for trimming out / raising and lowering my trolling motor. How can I do this through the remote? I need another HW880 ESC I think for that. As well, I thought about using another actuator for steering purposes, although I'm not sure that will work with the raising and lowering. Anyway, aside of needing extra HW880's, I just don't know how to go about programming that remote to do these things with the extra buttons on it. Could you assist, please? Thank you!

So I personally have not done it this way but it can be done I'm sure. I would imagine that you would need another transmitter or you might be able to plug into the same transmitter as the forward and reverse ESC. If not I would think you would need another transmitter for the ESC that raises and lowers. As far as programming the remote to control two different escs I'm not sure if that's possible. But you might be able to open the instruction booklet for the remote and see about programming the new ESC and transmitter that actuates the actuator two two of the buttons that are not being used on the remote. If it does not work I would advise to just put a switch on the side of your seat somewhere that you can press to raise and lower the actuator. Good luck keep me posted I'd love to see your build

The only problem I've run into with this is the remote runs out of power too fast. A few places I fish it goes dead before I reach the 1st fishing spot. Are there any remotes that lady longer ?
