Why Go Raftpacking With An Electric Raft?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 чер 2023
- Now that I've had my Tobin Sports Canyon Pro DIY electric raft out on a few adventures, this is why I prefer it to regular raftpacking! By letting the electric outboard motor power your boat instead of you doing all the paddling, you're left to enjoy the beautiful scenery and water. And the whole setup isn't as heavy or bulky as you'd think, either--even with some solar charging thrown in the mix!

Curious to know why you didn't go with a brushless style trolling motor, or is that MK actually brushless(?)
@@__WJK__ Just went for something inexpensive but effective
I have a tobin ($149 costco) and minn kota trolling motor 36",34 lb thrust($129.99 bass pro) and Litime 12V 100Ah Mini LiFePO4 Lithium Battery($329.99 amazon).Perfect for fishing all day! The activity range is nearly 10 miles! very fun! But don’t sail on a windy day!
One of the beeeeest channel I've stumbled up on
Haha thanks! With more hard work, I hope to really get the momentum of this channel going! Lots of cool projects in the works!
Got that same boat and looking for a trolling motor. Is the 30" shaft on your Minn Kota long enough? I've seen other people recommend a 36" shaft for use with the Tobin and other inflatable boats. Not sure which one to go with.
It's juuust long enough. Reccommend going with the 36"
How's your raft holding up? I have the same
Pretty good! Just awaiting the warmer weather for some more raftpacking fun
@@MikeInTheWoods out of curiosity, what pressure do you run yours at? I find the recommended 1psi is too little.
