- My dad and I got the AUTOBOAT system from Tiny Boat Nation for our 12 ft boat! In this video, we show you what is in the package, set it up, and test it in the river! I hope you enjoy the video!

You will want to place the GPS unit to point out the back of the motor. Two reasons the signal will be better and the power cords to the motor will interfere with the signal as well. Also if you plan on using the auto pilot or not sure what they call the feature. It will run you backwards when its at the back of the boat. It will work but if you have wind it will have to work harder. Also not much point of the unit if your just sitting next to it. Really designed to be used up front. ua-cam.com/video/fBlg_ilG0uc/v-deo.html
Thanks for the comment! The main reason I got it was for my dad, so he doesn't have to keep reaching backwards to control the trolling motor. So far it is working great for him. Not sure how much we will use the GPS auto pilot. Do you have a setup on your boat? I'm curious to know if you like it or not. Thanks for the support!
Yes if you dont have the GPS puck faced the correct direction the unit will make the boat move in a random direction very fast when you press the anchor button.
@@user-cc9ed6rj6d thank you!
*INSTALL ERROR SEEN IN VIDEO*
The gps was mounted backwards on the shaft in this video. There is an arrow on gps that indicates direction of travel. You have the GPS 180 degrees opposite from its correct manufacturer recommended position. You will have unpredictable crazy behavior if you don’t reposition the GPS.
HOPE YOU LIKE THE SYSTEM.
JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW AND HAVE A SAFE TIME ON WATER. ❤😊
Sincerely,

Thank you very much! We will fix and test. We hadn’t used the GPS yet so we didn’t know! Appreciate this! 🍻
@@drluketheduke1531 no problem. Happy to help. If you already liked AutoBoat you will love it even more when you use gps features. The gps features work best when motor is mounted on the bow of boat. When mounted on stern of boat you can only really use limited features like anchor mode and steering. Navpoint heading mode and route follow modes don’t work when motor is mounted on stern. Also a pro tip is to go into free AutoBoat app and in settings turn on “stern mount mode”….this makes your steering intuitive instead of inverted while transom mounted.

That Rod and Reel ruler sticker is a blast from the past.
Yes, right. Every time I fish in the boat - good times with my grandpa! 🍻🤟 he made all of this happen
Thanks for the video. For reversing, it's not recommended to manually switch the speed back to reverse. Its much better just to steer the motor backwards with the remote. It will be more powerful. If your outboard is not straight in the back, it will make it really hard for your boat to go straight.
You are so welcome! This will work perfectly for my dad! We did try and rotate the trolling motor all the way around but the prop was hitting the bottom of the boat - we could lower it, but there are times when the water is too shallow and we couldn't. Also, the one main thing I did notice was reading the manual or instruction manual or even scanning the manual that came with it, we couldn't find an easy video about the correct way to install it. That is why we messed up - we never saw anything about screwing it down anywhere - did we miss that? Other than that - awesome product!
@@drluketheduke1531 the gps was mounted backwards on shaft as well. So your gps won’t be accurate and will be erratic behavior. GPS needs to be rotated 180 degrees on the shaft. The blue arrow on gps should align with direction of propulsion travel.

I tried using a Ninjabike, Sentry, Bliss Holster, Decisive gloves, pistol build against you and it completely failed. Oh well! The build was a cool idea I got from RebelGirlAshley. When we played on PlayStation Last Stand long time ago.
I was tanky! Alphabridge with 8.4K stamina. What was your firearms at for your build? Plus, Steve was a healer! You need to join chat next time!! I had to get off to get kiddos to bed. Ggs ✌️
@@drluketheduke1531 GG to you Doc! I’m just trying new stuff. Can I do a Hunters Faith skill build? 🤔🤔🫡
@@xxdrmindbenderxx483 now that’s very interesting. 👌😳
Cool system but I would HATE the beeper all the time. I would have to look into cutting that thing down or off
👍 there might be a feature to turn that off. I will check next time I’m at my dad’s. Thanks for watching! 🍻
So I'm completely clueless about all that but why the need for a gps sensor?
Yo! It’s used for anchor lock ! Stay right in the same spot!!
@@drluketheduke1531 so if your boat is about to drift the motor itself will rotate to keep you in place? If I'm understanding that right
@@lsrzsunny-i-beamz yessir! In our other boat - we have won tournaments because of that!!
@@drluketheduke1531 ok cool, thx bro for the explanation. ❤️💪
@@lsrzsunny-i-beamz anytime! We put right now fishing with thr kids! lol
