Thank you for your question. If it is the same issue as mine, the splines are stripped. As soon as you remove the nut, it will likely fall off. Be careful holding the motor shaft so you don’t damage the windings of the motor or the fan on the backside of the motor. I put the belt back on before tightening it down.
Saw the other version here: ua-cam.com/video/5mgPSoJrxSw/v-deo.htmlsi=LwMUVoLFo4ltqYo8. I was about to throw out my cheaper filters after trying with all my might to screw one in back in. Then I decided to UA-cam it and found both yours and the other video. I had to sacrifice one of my new filters to create the tool as my old filter was too tweaked from me trying to force it. So many people have had this issue....BAD DESIGN, LG! Thanks for posting your shorter version...and yes, filing the tabs takes way too long. I used my bench grinder - a couple of seconds on each side ;)
Thank you for the feedback and I am glad it helped you!
Looking forward to seeing the progress
Well, funny you should say that, there hasn’t been much. It has been a pretty rough spring (including a tree landing on the boat - somehow it seems ok)), but I am actually starting to work on a new motor mount today.
You can work that belt back on the pulley by turning the pulley and working the belt back on as you turn it. Then give it a couple turns to make sure it doesn’t jump off the motor.
Agreed. I also found on this one that just putting it on in the correct order made it very easy. 1) motor bolts very loose 2) belt over motor pulley (it has the flanges) 3) put it over the drum pulley 4) tighten motor bolts
There is no belt on my kenmore series 500
🤔 not sure on that one. Does the bottom look like mine at around the 2:45 mark? On mine the belt is under that cover.
@@Shoefly007 I would have to disassemble more to find out for sure
On mine I did not disassemble much. I lifted the front bottom edge just high enough to put it on a Jack stand and accessed everything from underneath.
I ordered and changed the same part , it didn’t fix it still making noise . 😞
I am sorry to hear that. When I got down to the pulley on mine it was pretty clear it was spinning on the motor. It has recently started to periodically make more of a screeching sound, but I haven’t even started to try to address that.
Glad you lucked out with the easy fix there. Good info to have regarding zoned heating valve operation!
Thank you!
Listen to them power wheels in the background! Lol
Lol, gotta take advantage of the kiddos distractions.
👍
Thank you!
Hello boss im have the same issue how to hell did you remove the pulley I am currently in the middle of doing this. I can remove that plastic pulley
I can definitely see how that can be a challenge. I think I found a socket, maybe 1/2” (not sure) that just fit over the shaft and used it to push those plastic fingers out of the way. It may help to gently wedge something between the motor and the pulley at the same time. I hope this helps. Let me know if it doesn’t and I will think a little harder. It really shouldn’t take much force.
👍
Thank you!
It looks like removing the motor was not needed. Just remove the defective part and replace would solve the problem.
That is correct. I couldn’t really see what I was doing with it upside down. That said, you would still need to at least back off the bolts. Taking it out makes it much easier to access the pulley.
I laid the machine down on its back. Everything was right in front of me. Super easy to get to. Pulled the belt gently towards me from larger pulley and while turning it, it came right off. And yes, that’s the problem! All grooves worn out. I ordered the part and should get it in 3 days. Thanks for the video. It was a big help!!
Glad that worked! I was too chicken to lay it on its back, lol.
I don't think the pulley is OEM because whirlpool sells it as an motor assy, but it's better than buying a whole new $200 motor unit! Thanks for sharing.
I agree, I don’t know who the manufacturer is, but it is still working great so far.
@@Shoefly007 Whirlpool makes them
Sweet, Thank you!
To discharge properly, set your meter to DV volts. A your leads on each terminal, sit back and watch it discharge. if you have a cheap meter, do like I said. Once your done switch to the OHM setting and watch it charge back up. Numbers should go up fast, however, that depends on the battery in the meter, if it's newer or not.
That is awesome information, thank you for adding!
Well, since she forbid you from making another canopy, now you can just make a roll down sunshade or two for it instead. lol
Lol, I was thinking of how to do an awning off of the front.
beautiful
Thank you! 😊
so cool
Thank you!
If you're going to stick with that setup, consider going to lithium iron-phosphate batteries. You'll get half the weight, twice the run-time, and you won't be swapping them out ever 2-3 years. Yes, they cost more up-front, but deliver a lot more when you're on the water and will last 10 years with just reasonable care. Don't try to charge them when they are below freezing, is all.
Thank you for commenting and the sage advice. I recently got a small LiFePO battery for my kids’ power wheel and have been very impressed. There was a major list to starboard with just me and 5 batteries on board. I would love to have a set of those, but the limiting factor is cost. The current batteries are a bit questionable, but that is because they are take-offs.
@@Shoefly007 - Yeah, it's only worth the cost of the lithiums if you're going to use it a lot, and use it pretty hard when you're out on the boat. They are a major step up from lead-acid, but not nearly as expensive as they used to be. For example, Li-Time is making a 100AH battery that weighs about 24lbs and costs $325, if you were to purchase 3 of them. Well worth it, if you're going to actually use the boat quite a bit.
Totally agree. My situation is a bit specific. At this point, It is purely for short (1 hour) cruises around very small lake. At most a few in a day and then it can recharge most of the week. Even with the two batteries I had last year I wasn’t having range issues. I want to do a video with the general overview of the purpose of the pontoon, but it will take some editing.
when Is aw 36volt I thought 12volt ×3 motor
Haha, well, it is 3 12v batteries! If it would be interesting I have been working on a video explaining why I am going in the direction I am with the switch to one motor.
you need to build a shade
That was two years ago’s project. I redid the canopy cover in canvas. It covers the back half of the boat pretty well. Would you be interested in a a video talking about how I made that?
I wish you were my neighbor
They have plenty to keep them entertained for sure.
those are pretty dangerous, watch out
Yes, they are!

Updated after the second fail, lol

I think I showed that in part 2
cute dog
Thank you, he sure is
why not be the first with triple motor😂
Going to be going down to one. More to follow
many one more video while trollers are in action
Please check out “part 3”
keep us up to date please
Thank you, I do plan to document where this is headed!
one of our inflatable boats got punctured so we re looking for ways where we can use both motors on one boat
Thank you for your interest. Please check out my “part 1” as that shows more about the bracket and how it works. If you have more specific questions, please let me know
can't wait to see the end result
Thank you for the kind words. As far as the dual motors this is probably the end of the road. The previous 3 parts detail how those work.
cool
Thank you!
can u walk us step by step
Thank you for your interest! Part 1 is shows the parts and theory, part 2 is the first time I had it mounted and part 3 shows it in operation. Please let me know what gaps you are looking to have filled in.
@@Shoefly007 I want a girl version 😀
👍

wow finaly
Lol, you definitely helped motivate me. I would have done it months ago, but I started down a rabbit hole of trying to make it more polished.
what did u stop making videos buddy?
Thank you for your interest. Didn’t really intend to stop, just life lol. I have been planning to do a follow up as I have had a good few seasons out of the motor mount and am ready to try something different using the same motors. I am still not sure how I want to set it up, lots of ideas and very little time. I have been thinking about making a video with my current thoughts.
@@Shoefly007 cant wait
Where did you get the quick release tie rod ends?
Eric, thank you for the question. These were an amazing find that made the whole thing a lot easier. It is a steering kit for a kicker motor. www.fleetfarm.com/detail/attwood-24-in-outboard-steering-kit/0000000063536 I put the link from FleetFarm because that is where I found them. Amazon has it as well. I actually used two kits. The “relay rod” that connects the two motors was a 3ft length of aluminum I added threads to with a die set.
Where did you get the brackets that are on the trolling motors that the linkage is hooked to between them ?
I designed and 3D printed in PETG the brackets and the linkages came from two attwood “kicker motor” linkages. I replaced the one 24” rod with a 36” rod that I added threads to.
What size trolling motors did you use?
Thank you for commenting. I have two 12V 55lb thrust motors. I don’t know that I would advise the same approach I would prefer a single 36 or 48v brushless with 120-160 lbs. thrust. The overall cost would likely only be about a 3rd more and some are designed to be used as primary propulsion.
Is it a 14ft? How long does it run?
The pontoon is 24ft. I use two group 27 12v deep cycle batteries. Run time greatly depends on speed. At cruise, about 30%, it is a few hours. At full speed it is probably about an hour. Honestly I don’t have a lot of time on the water with this setup. I pulled it out of the water in early November. Hoping to get back around April with improvements.
Hi Sean. Love the setup. I have a 24’ riviera cruiser I just picked up and was thinking to do similar. What thrust are your two trolling motors? Also do you have a way I can contact you ? I would love to possible buy similar setup but I don’t have a 3D printer. Thanks!
Adam, sorry for the delay. Mine happens to be a riviera from the ‘80 that has been stripped down and re-decked. I don’t know that I would recommend the exact same approach. 24v motors would do much better I expect. I would love to go to something brushless. The thrust is only ok. Went with the duals partly because It allowed me to only buy one per year. I was also hoping it would allow me to use differential thrust, however these motors have vastly more power going forward than in reverse.
Where did you get those clamps that are attached to the trolling motors that hold the linkage bar?
Thank you for commenting! I designed the clamps myself in fusion360 and 3D printed them in PETG. I was really amazed by how robust they turned out. So far no hint they will be a weak point.
Would you consider making a couple more of those brackets to sell me?
I would except for a couple things. One, my printer is down and second as I put them on this spring they are starting to show some stress. They could use some metal plates to support the bolts and my time is very short at the moment.
