    I set out to test my newly built mud motor build that I bought from Beaver Dam Mud Runners to fish in. At first I had forgot to turn off the choke. You need the choke to start this cheaper Harbor Freight Predator 212cc 6.5 hp motor. Once it is warmed up the choke needs to be turned off. This motor and kit really pushed this boat fast! I did find it really difficult to push the bar down to keep the prop in the water. It was also very noisy which is something I had expected. After showing the boat off to a couple friends I tried to catch my first fish in the boat. You will see the results at the end of the video.
    Special thanks goes out to Beaver Dam Mud Runners for making this amazing kit!

    Yeah these things vibrate a lot. It's the single cylinder. The big block have a counter balance weight that balances the engine much better. The v-twins are smooth running as well because the twin cylinders balance each other out.

    Get a 10' stick of 1.5 inch white PVC drain pipe. You can make 5 rod holders. Get some heavy duty zip tie straps and tie them to the vertical ribs of the boat. It will cost you around $15.00 total. They are super strong.

    • @TNRVG
      @TNRVG  6 років тому

      Without having an actual transmission I don't think it would do anything. It would add a ton of weight too.

    • @southronjr1570
      @southronjr1570 6 років тому

      Panfish I am not talking about an automotive one but one that is made for a go kart. It basically is a transmission but is constantly variable like a Polaris atv. It bolts directly to the motor and has an output chain drive. When the drive axle speed is low it multiplies the torque available to the axle shaft and when it is higher it multiplies the available speed to the shaft. Look up redbeards garage or cars and cameras youtube channels torque converter install and you will get the idea of what I am talking about. Btw it only weights about 5 lbs so it wouldn't add too much to the set up.

      my 1436 topper fully loaded down cruses at 9mph and gets about 8-10 miles per tank of fuel. they are nice and reliable but definitely a learning curve to launching and landing the boat without reverse. and taking wide turns. but for the price its a nice little setup

      The engine is a cheap, Chinese product. There are better mufflers around that can be fitted. The “fascination” with these engines is that they are air cooled and will run places where you can’t get a water cooled outboard. Look up prodrive mud flats and see what they do.

      @@TNRVG I love mine. It does the job it was designed to do very well. And you gotta love being able to plane out in reverse. See if Marsh-mellow makes an exhaust for your set up if you want to make it quieter and make more power. If you don’t run in serious mud and stumps, then you can route the exhaust down below the waterline to quieten it up more. Some people make a big deal about the noise, but unlike most outboards, it’s not in the water where is scares the fish more.
