I can’t lie. Having a powder keg spooling up to 30,000 rpm between my legs was a little terrifying

Thanks!

Thank you!

I still have the motor and the boat, but we stopped using it. Local officials have turned our favorite, and only island near us into a bird sanctuary. So we no longer have a destination to go to. I will try to get a new video up this summer when it warms up. Thanks for the interest!

I’m getting ready to test it on Tuesday. I believe I resolved the radio cutting out. I also have a crazy idea I want to introduce on how to make it a lot faster without changing the motor!

China launched a rocket last week. The booster hit land and started a massive fire. I guess over the ocean is the way to go!

Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. Check it out! $276.01 55％ Off | 1000W Electric Outboard Motor Boat Engine Heavy Duty Fishing Boat Motor Brushless Motor Propeller 4800 RPM a.aliexpress.com/_mLXDiSI I believe mine was a little bigger. You can ask the manufacturer if the 7 hp one is still available

The motor I have is actually 3,000 watts which is 4 horsepower unlike the manufacturer claim of 7 horsepower. I requested there largest motor and 3,000 watt was the largest

Thanks man!

I am humbled

if you knew anything about anything you would know this is actually very good

28mm Modified Handlebar Handguard Clamp 1-1/8inch Motorcycle Hand Guard Clamp Mounting Kit for Motocross Dirt Bike a.co/d/aaVoeGw It’s been a while but I think this is the one. Make sure the shaft is near 28mm. Good luck with your project.

The radio and servos are efficient. I think that size battery should be more than enough for a whole day out.

A lot of guys run the ESC with good results. Just make sure it can handle the load

I love the piano. It sounds fantastic! We use it everyday. I paid 300$ for it, but had some issues. I would probably spend 500$ for a nice used one. Any more than that you should just get a new one

I’m sure you can find a smaller servo that can do the same job. Make sure the voltage of the smaller servo is correct for your project. I remember seeing a few volt options….The servo I’m running now is 65 or 75 kg of torque. I’m pretty sure you will be to find a smaller servo with similar power output but it will more than likely cost more. Good luck. Post a video when your done. I would like to check it out!

It uses two 3.7v 18650 lithium ion batteries. It’s about 7.4 volts.

ua-cam.com/video/AEvJJNzCM9U/v-deo.html I go over the steering and assembly in detail in this video. Its been a fun project. People look at me strange holding a remote on a kayak, but I have a good time.

Thank you for the interest. I’m wishing for warmer weather so I can finish this project. Soon hopefully

Thanks

@@waitingonparts dude, thats amazing. Parts list?

I believe it. It’s got tons of torque. It gets you up to speed in no time….I don’t have a bow mount on the kayak, but that’s a good suggestion

I’m putting out a new video in the next day or two. I accidentally sank my old motor but retrieved it. I’m reusing that same steering setup on my new motor and it’s still going strong despite sinking and being a year and a half old. Good luck with your project.

Most trolling motors have a little wing nut bolt on the trolling motor shaft that locks the motor in one position. This is for boats that already have a rudder system to steer the boat. The brake on your trolling motor locks motor steering angle in one position and steering is accomplished by alternate methods, either rudder or paddle….I took the wing nut out and mounted the servo to the threaded hole where the brake used to be. You can see the threaded hole and the brake in my video right when the music starts at the beginning of my build montage

I tried to post a photo of it but UA-cam won’t let me. Here’s the original Amazon advertisement for the motor. You can see the little black wing nut just above the tilting transom mount.

You can try it, I’m not sure. The end of the key has something like a ball socket on it. You need to push the key inward and down at the same time and until it snaps into the socket. Let me know if you get it with the cover down. I don’t know. I personally took the cover off of mine just to figure out what was wrong with it. I bought it for cheap knowing it was broken.

@@waitingonparts ok, thanks

I chose the biggest servos I could find because of my large 1500 watt trolling motor, and I wasn’t sure how much effort it was going to take in the water. You can definitely get away with a powerful small servo, however they are three times the cost. If you search they make servos that run off of 12 volts also…. There is a device that steps down voltage, I’m considering doing the same and running my radio off of my backup lightweight lithium ion battery’s that I keep on board in case the large Lipo4 battery dies. Good luck with the build. I’m curious to see how yours turns out.

Direct Current Converter 12V to 5V 3A 15W Buck Converter Module, Reduced Voltage Regulator Car Power Converter Output Power Adapter, Wire Interface (1 Piece) a.co/d/9JRJfB2 I ended up using a similar buck converter to drop the volts from 48 volts to about 8 volts. I chose 8 volts because I can run the radio receiver and the high torque servos with that voltage

It’s starting to warm up here in San Diego. I should have a new video shortly.
