*This makes my old motor look like a toy **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it's well built. I haven't had it on the water yet, but I'm very sure it will perform just fine.*
YOUR THE BEST NO BS EVERYONE ELSE goes over board
Thank you for the feedback!
This is the best trolling motor I have ever owned. Very powerful and the salt water does not have any affect on it. The reverse is just as powerful. This motor performs just as well as the high dollar motors.
This is fantastic. Thank you!
your feed is great keep on the good work
Thanks, great video!
Favolosa ,Tremendously terrific
can you give us a list of all the supplies needed in addition to the deep cycle marine battery and trolling motor please?
Very nice

Thank you
Thanks !!
Can you mount the circuit breaker right to the battery?
I’m new to all of this do you get the thrilling motor cables and plus em into the battery or you have to do this for it to run ?
nice video bro very informative! try recording horizontal next time!
Thanks Solo!
wait, what do i do if i have alligator clips on trolling motor nd not the same leads as yours
Question, if using a RF reverse Polarity switch for my trolling motor, does that act as a Circuit breaker or do I still need to install one? I’m doing the one speed instead of the multi speed option with ability to reverse
Yes it is still recommended to use a circuit breaker to protect your motor from any surges in current. A manual circuit breaker will also allow you to disconnect power from your battery in an emergency situation.
What kind of battery do you recommend?
what size battery cable ?
Are these circuit breakers standard for a 12V battery? Or is there some designation you look for? Where do you get them?
I ordered mine from Amazon. 50amp waterproof breaker. It was fairly cheap maybe 8-10$
Minnkota 60 amp breaker.marked with battery terminal and load terminal. Instructions read for 12 volt application connect battery positive to battery end of breaker, then load end of breaker to the positive lead to the trolling motor
What's the amp use on that breaker and what gauge wire are you are using?
That is a 60 amp VLYNX circuit breaker with a 4 gauge vlynx 100% copper cable. I have been using these VMAX products for quite some time and they work great
what are the details on the battery cable - amps volts, capacity) Thanks.
Hey mate, how deep do you submerge your 12v trolling motor into the water and do you have a marker on the motors shaft , noticed some motor mounts/transom are higher than others so wondered how you do it and gauge it or is it set up permanently, thanks.
The cavitation plate should be just below the bottom of the boat.
but here's what I'm running, same thing but adding another circuit breaker for the lights and stuff and a main cut off switch with a switch board
Can you please share a link to the circuit breaker that you used.
Here is the link!

Anyone else things his voice sounds like "Andy Garcia"; from oceans 11
What size breaker
what size of battery cable? I got a 4 AWG 12 inch cable. will that work?
Yes that will definitely work, I used VLYNX 4ga 100% copper: www.vmaxtanks.com/VBL4-14B-4GA-14-Battery-Link-Connector_p_75.html
velosterNG thanks ! I’m new to this kind of stuff. I appreciate it
Hi, im trying to connect a cable from my battery to circuit breaker and the post on breaker is 1/4" and connector is much bigger. Looks like yours is the same. Dont I have to cut off end of cable and crimp a 1/4" ring terminal? Thanks
4 gauge is really overkill... Minn kota manual states 8 gauge if shorten then 5 feet
What if one has a shunt installed as well?
what's a shunt?
@@kevinwelsh7490a battery monitor
what ids your battery size
This is an XTR34-75, which is a Group 34. It is one size smaller than a Group 24 (MR107-85).
My friend my minn kota trolling motor 30 lb thrust has a 14 guages wire,I wanna put a quick disconnect n a 50ACB what wire should I use from BTRY to CB to my quick disconnect with my motor that has 14awg i hope i explained ryt😁 thnk u so much good day.
A 4 gauge cable is fine to use and will be compatible with your motor's 14ga wires: www.vmaxtanks.com/VBL4-09B-4GA-9-Battery-Link-Connector_p_73.html
Thnk u much stay safe 🙏
You should NOT put that positive “on any side”. It’s supposed to go to the area marked BATT and the other area which is marked LOAD goes to the trolling motor. You are misleading a lot of people.
I have circuit breakers that are not marked like you say. Came with no instructions either. Haven't found any videos
U R 100% RIGHT. STATES RIGHT ON the CIRCUIT BREAKER, TO BATTERY and TO ACCESSORY
I-17 Bingo U r absolutely correct
