DIY Solar Powered Canoe, NO BATTERY!!
Today, we hook this Amazon Solar Panel directly to a 30 LB. trolling motor and create a Solar Powered canoe. LEOCH 100-watt solar panel.

We find out how fast the sun will take you with NO BATTERY! I cover the majority of the boat with Solar panels, then throw caution to the wind as we set sail into the unknown. This is just the beginning of my new Solar boat project.
I actually go almost as fast as I can paddle, about half the speed of the battery. This idea really got me thinking, let me know what you think I should do to improve on this.

Connecting solar panels directly to a trolling motor is generally not recommended unless the trolling motor is specifically designed to accept direct DC input from solar panels. Here are a few points to consider:
Voltage Compatibility: Solar panels typically output DC voltage, which needs to match the operating voltage of the trolling motor. Trolling motors often run on 12V or 24V DC systems, so you'll need solar panels that provide the same voltage output.
Regulation and Control: Directly connecting solar panels to a trolling motor without proper regulation can lead to overcharging the batteries or damaging the motor itself. You'll likely need a charge controller to regulate the voltage and current from the solar panels to ensure it matches what the trolling motor and batteries can handle.
Battery Considerations: Trolling motors are usually powered by batteries (like deep cycle marine batteries). Solar panels are used to charge these batteries, not directly power the motor. The setup typically involves solar panels charging the batteries, and then the batteries powering the trolling motor.
Efficiency and Power Requirements: Trolling motors can require a significant amount of power, especially at higher speeds. The solar panels need to be capable of providing sufficient power to both charge the batteries adequately and potentially supplement the motor's power demands.
Practicality: While it's theoretically possible to design a system where solar panels directly power a trolling motor, it's often more practical and efficient to use the panels to charge batteries and then use the batteries to power the motor. This approach allows for smoother operation and better control over the power supply.
In summary, while it's not impossible to connect solar panels directly to a trolling motor, it requires careful consideration of voltage compatibility, the need for regulation and control (via a charge controller), and practicality in terms of power requirements. Typically, solar panels are used to charge batteries, which in turn power the trolling motor, providing a more reliable and efficient setup.

Great deal!!!
Fun video .... thanks for sharing. I've been on a handful of rivers in MO but never the Meramec. Looks like a great time.
🛶 Happy Floating!
Every float trip I've been on in Missouri, there was never a time where I didn't see other people on the river. Tons of people everywhere
@@sendeth I think you just gave me an idea for a video.
Thank you for the video! What time of year did you go?
@Christines.Craft.Corner I think it was in spring, but I went just yesterday again, and it was 👍 great.
Wow my friend!! Love this idea!! ❤❤❤❤
Good stuff!!! My only advice is to keep the panels low and out of the wind.
North Fork of the White RIver near Dora is fantastic floating. So is the Black and the upper Meremac or the Huzzah and Cortois. I guess from your direction those rivers you picked might be good, but head east, they are even better. Do the upper Current, SO MUCH BETTER than the lower end!!!
@davidstaley3737 I have tried to do North Fork twice, only for plans to change. Meramac is amazing, Eleven Point, too. If I made that video today, I would add both. I'm planning on the Black, but I'm not familiar with Cortois or Huzzah. I check them out. Thanks for the suggestions. So many rivers, so little time.
Great vid Blake! Crawling around on your knees and belly sounds fun until the next day when you can't walk.
@@rcmark24 So true. Just one day down and ready to go again.
Blh minta ilmunya
The upper 11 point is also nice but half the width. River levels can also rise very fast with any precipitation. Even without the drone you captured the river very well.
Thank you, much! It is a beautiful river, I am ready to go back. Maybe I will start a little further up. Happy floating!
Hell yeah!
What a great idea!
Love that! Solar power is awesome 😊
I think I live very close to you would like to contact you privately,,, not sure how to do that??
My email is magicianword@gmail.com
One thing i always take is just a tiny bottle of white fuel or kerosene sometimes the humidity makes it very hard to get a fire going even if you have tape and paper.
True. Thank you.
Hello again my friend! Just love your videos! You'll be at 2k in no time!
Thank you, @TrailStrider909. I hope so!
@@magicianword 💯💯💯
Funny and innovative.
Thank you much!
These are great!🎉😮
Thanks a bunch!
I remember doing this in boy scout camp
Another tip ( Ive used on the Current- because the banks and debris changes year to year)- Two 30-50 ft 3/8" nylon ropes for "Lining" the canoe through questionable spots. My buddy and I walk the boat thru on the shallow side letting the canoe float along in a few inches of water. easy peasy. Beats dumping.
Great 💡 idea. Thanks for the comment.
Cut some 3" foam pipe insulation cut about 6-7 " long and stretch over the gunnels for your legs/knees to rest on.
Good suggestion! Thank you 😊
Nice vid. We drove to it and visited Greer Spring as well. Greer is big and a bit tough to hike to. We usually float the Current (week days only if you choose to try it). I hope Michelle didnt "hit a log" driving home- lol. PS: invest in some dry bags.
Yes! Live and learn 😆, I have dry bags now... lol. Thanks for the comment.
I love that
Hi uncle blake
👋😃 Hi!
You sucked the dice
I didn't suck it. I say that because I don't want people to try that, it could be dangerous. I promise kids that's not the method.
Give him more likes and subscribes
😁
Lo metí a su boca al lado😂❤😊
Taking our motorhome to Branson next week. Most definitely bringing our kayaks, staying in the campground next to Branson landing so we’ll be right on the water. What kind of snake was that ? Hope not to run into a water moccasin.
That will be a perfect place! You can paddle that whole area or float down to your camp. I'm not sure about the snake. It was spring, on a side creek. Enjoy!
Thank you !
Did you forget something? You only did the one recipe. Where is the comparison with the J-Lube??? Title says so!
The j lube recipe is an older video. I think it is a better mix for long lasting bubbles. Here is the link. ua-cam.com/video/yZ_vXlWX4_s/v-deo.htmlsi=wHMGOQdwnDXsWTRv
@@magicianword Yes you had some awesome bubbles in this video
@Powerful1776 Thank you, happy bubbles!
ohhh it's viral....
Thank you, buddy!
Thank you so much for this video; I followed the recipe and we all had so much fun with the biggest bubbles
I'm so happy to share, enjoy!
I tried that recipe but my bubbles pop almost instantly... I'm not sure if it's the heat or humidity or what the problem is I Live in cc tx it's extremely hot kinda windy and very humid.
Wind is always a challenge outside. If it's super hot, I sometimes add a little glycerine to the mix just a spoonful.
@magicianword thank you I'll try that
didif8t❤❤❤🥰🥰💅
😁
Glad to see a new vid my friend!!! Love the boats!!
Thanks , I may bring them back.
@@magicianword Sweet!
Been boating the Merimac for 50 years. It only nearly killed me twice! I waded across a shallow, quiet section one day and in 5 ft. Of water, it grabbed me and held me under. I could raise my arm out of the water but could not surface. Suddenly let me go!
Woe, you are lucky. My daughter got trapped under a canoe once and scared me silly. You do have to be aware that something can happen in an instant. Thanks for the comment.
why would you have to register a canoe with low power electric motor. that's like bicycle.
I agree... 👍
Great energy lol. Will be copying this design later this week 👍
It's still working great.
I’m the most active sit n go player on global, period. I can guarantee you that this site isn’t 100% legit. Idk what the fuck they are doing , it feels like a full fledged ELO system. When I’m in an all-in pre with 80% equity , I lose that spot vs fish and randoms literally 80% of the time, I have pics of all this stuff. I’ve played over 50,000 tourneys on the site. I’m not saying I’m the best but I guarantee you something is going on behind the scenes. Global is full of the worst players on the entire planet yet it’s impossible to run over 12% roi vs the braindead morons.
Kind of reminds me of "Garden of the gods" in southern Il. but much nicer with all the falls
I will have to remember that next time I am in Illinois. Lost Valley is beautiful.
So fun!! 🎉
It really is!
2:55 that looks scary
It's a good river, been down it multiple times, 11 point is another nice one, the Current, the North Fork all very nice spring rivers to float in Missouri.
I still haven't floated North Fork or Jack's Fork. Love 11p. ,and current too!
Does it matter if you use 91% alcohol? Will it change the outcome if the alcohol is 70%?
I think it will work fine. Good luck, happy bubbles!
"Real goldfish?" "Yeah" 😂😂
😆 lol...
great video, I have a cabin outside of Steelveele, on the way to Cook Station, MO
Very cool ,is that on the river?
@@magicianword about 300 feet above meramec river, above a steep hiil drop off
That's awesome! Can't wait to get back and explore more of that river.
@@magicianword it is between steeleville & st James, where the meramec is clear before it feeds into the trout park in st james
Thanks, Blake!!! It was a great trip!!!
Thank you! It sure was. Until next time!
Now that looks like a fun trip! Love the way you cook ur food my friend!
Thanks, Buffalo is always great! Love the little dog.
@@magicianword Anytime!
Magicianword~Thank you~ that's superb footage!=)
Thank you so much!
