12:44 Hey! I'm concerned about HEAT BUILDUP. You've got no vents on that, AND that foam is like an extremely good thermal insulator unless of course, you expect to run cool water through the foam, and all around the batteries. A lot of excitement building up there. Can't wait !!!
When soldering the copper rods, it is a good idea to cut them to length first. First reason is to reduce heating required as extra copper acts like heat sink, but main reason is that when you cut after soldering, you create micro-fractures in the solder joint which reduces mechanical strength and most of all reduces it current carrying capability .. :) Good job through, love your approach :)
Yeah this is the first video I watched of his and it doesn't seem like he's very bright. The solder looks like a 7-year-old did it, and when he made the bracket for the electric motor he acted like he had just did the most complicated tool cut, but it was just a simple bracket
Dude, I've been watch youtube for years. This is the first time I have "liked , subscribed, or rang the bell. And I' only saw maybe a minute of your video. I'm inspired.
When soldering the XT60s, keep the other end plugged in while you do it. Otherwise the brass contacts could melt through the housing, or the housing could (and will!) deform due to the heat. Keeping the other end plugged in and letting it cool off after soldering will take care of these issues.
This takes me back to when I built a RC jetboat testing tank with diverters to encourage recirculation path. I ran glowplug motors, weed eater motors and a pocket boke motor, all on home build jet units. Happy days.
Awesome! Technically, that was "aeration" rather than cavitation. Aeration (of a prop) is when you suck air into the flow and the prop loses "traction" in the water ands spins without producing much thrust. On a boat, it can happen in hard turns or when starting up a heavy boat with a long-pitch prop. Cavitation is when the water flow around the prop causes tiny pockets of vacuum at the low pressure points in the water flow. When these vacuum pockets move into an area with less low pressure and collapse, the "slam" as they close up is very destructive and can etch away the metal of the prop. With a system like this you may actually turn out to get real cavitation when you have it mounted on the kayak. It can happen when a prop is spinning faster than it is designed to spin. Look for a band of etched metal just behind the leading edge of the blades on the low pressure face of the blades (the face towards the bow).
THIS....... was the most fun I've had watching a video in a long, long time! Very interesting and brilliant (and really funny at times too)... my wife even came in to see why I was laughing so loudly! Excited to see where this baby's gonna go! A++++
You have obviously never been stuck living in a concrete jungle...a slave to the rat race...it's me, I'm the one who would sit in a kayak for 40- something hours. Thanks for the great vid. This is exactly what I need to sit in my kayak for 40+ hours!
The Body diodes in the Mosfets are what keeps the motor from free wheeling when its connected Most H-Bridge controllers are made that way . Build is looking good
@@TheGoodoftheLand it has never drained a battery on any of mine. Those diodes only act as brakes they don't actually draw current from the battery they just resist the back EMF from the motor windings
+apollo robb Sweet! Thank you. That solves a big problem. I can now just power down the speed control with the boat safety switch. That just saved me a ton of time.
This is awesome, I got excited and thrilled just watching. I can only imagine how you felt holding on to it. Im a old Vietnam era army vet. I love to fish . All I've ever wanted was a 12-14' flat bottom boat . And with life we don't always get what we want. But I can just imagine how amazing it would be to have one and have one or two of these as the main motor. Talk about getting back up in the shallow channels to catch some fish. I would be in sportsman heaven. Well a old man can dream . Love watching and if the good lord is willing. I'd really enjoy meeting you and your family. And spending some time with you watching you do some of the cool things you do. God bless and thanks for the videos.
I put little chunks of solder in the connector first so I get a better solder flow into the connector and avoid getting trapped bubbles or fartiing noises from that. 7:27 that looks pretty nooby soldering technique there. But anyway very good job your set up is insane love it 😎👍
LOL! talk bout xcitment!!!!!!! im just imagining how it would be on the hobie!!!!! i wouldn't have to waste time paddling to the spot 3 miles down. exciting to see the power behind it! Great Job!!!
Hi! Great project🙌👍 Not sure if it was mentioned, but at least for calculating maximum loads when running parallel cables for instance, it is normal to take into consideration the heat which is being generated by the amps running through the connections. Yes, the 3x4 XT60 connectors leave a small footprint, but it could get quite hot since they are all butted against each other, without any separation between them😊 But liked the content, keep up the good work!👍
When soldering the battery connecting block, You shuld use a LARGER soldering iron. To minimize problems with the small iron cut the copper to short length to reduce the mass neede to be heated. The non used part of the copper wire function as a heatsink and drastically affect the result. The video shows a fun project!
Cost of build I've been looking at this project for a few years now and it seems like it would never get started. I was going to use an old jet ski drive system. But this is more quiet. Well done!
At 14:30 in, the "something happening here" is called counter EMF. The windings of the motor are effectively shorted by the MOSFETs in the controller. That effect can be controlled. For remote control cars it's used as an adjustable brake and you can set a default amount of braking with the remote control. If more braking is desired, the dead stick point can be adjusted accordingly (hope I explained that correctly). Anyway, I'd look for a speed control that had a "trimmer" adjustment rather than what you were thinking at this point.
instead of using all those complex XT60 connectors, to get 22 volts, you could just buy and use only one 6Cell battery 22.2v and save yourself space and so much trouble with all those connectors. :) SSS motors are good powerful motors. there are some cheaper alternatives to SSS motors and produce up to 27kg of thrust on 48volts.
@@johndoe1778 there are many options out there. I am using one motor that can use 12v to 24v and can be mounted under kayaks easily. I even have a 3D printed mounts for it.
@@johndoe1778 I am getting some 3D printed parts ready for my Surfboard build and will test that motor on my diy surfboard. motor is rated for 27kg of thrust underwater. no idea if my little surfboard can take it or not lol. but my diy boat should be able to.
O seem you connect the battery in serial. But where are the battery controller to balance the battery voltage. During the charge and discharge process, the battery voltage will change and affect the overall performance.
@@TheGoodoftheLand I'd love too, but there is no message feature on my Instagram(web). I can only comment. Don't need another app i'll never use on my phone.
Awesome to watch!!! Glad you did not electrocute yourself. Would love to buy a system kit for my kayak but would need it to be a bit more „industrialized“.
Awesome build man, I built almost an identical system but using 4x 60v 9ah dewalt batteries, now I've seen your xt60 block I'll be redesigning lol aswell as probably getting that motor. I made everything else same components for a versatile electric power system I can put on my longboard, mountainbike, and now kayak haha
This is a super cool build and tons of power! I personally use Anderson powerpole connectors. Versatile for customized bat/power supplies. I like that I can use larger gauge wire for increased protection from overheating. Question. Your amperage tests on being done with no load on the motor. That is going to increase significantly once the prop/motor is in the water pushing a couple hundred pounds of weight.
Hey dude, I'm a junior maintenance tech at my job and I also enjoy kayaking. I like your video here, that sucker has torque! I don't think you AND a buddy could hold that thing at full bore. Excellent video and I also like how you showed us how to solder. Thanks bud
I too am a mechanical contractor. A.S.degree . Electro mechanical journeyman as well. Some of this is overkill for sure. Then again at 52 you start to weed out the things that take too long lol. But yeah props on most of this. I think I'll spend less money on a prop mechanical gas motor. At my bodyweight I can definitely get up to 11 miles an hour on water with a two-stroke Prop on my kayak.
Did anyone else have issues with the links for the motor and the batteries. I kept getting 404 errors? That motor is no joke, and i believe you said its totally sealed!!! That over comes issues I was concerned with on the first build. Keep it up...im ready to see it on the kayak

Congratulations!!! I don't know what your idea of application is, but I imagined some very interesting ones. diving suit, motorboat, and others ... Good job !!!
I used to repair allot of old radios, still will on occasion but when soldering my ebike xt60 connectors, I used a smidge of flux, solder was flux cored but flowed where I wanted and more quickly. just some 2 cents there:)
Thanks for trying that controller and letting us know how it is. Will NOT be using that one lol. Hope your mounting method is STRONG. I do not imagine that most fiberglass kayaks or canoes is going to sustain that kind of force with longevity.
Watching you fabricate that bracket was neat and enough to convince me to subscribe. However, your previous excellent work had already convinced me and I found that I was already subscribed. Good work convincing someone you'd already convinced!
In the picture, before you soldered the 8-ga. wires to those XT-60 "banks", you had 3 in Series and one in Parallel...! (I'm sure others spotted that, too!). Haha! I buy batteries, and then take them apart to meet my needs (i.e. a 4-S pack gets broken down into TWO 2-S packs, or visa-versa). Cheaper that way, when batteries are on sale (with the same "C-Rating"). You could've gone with XT-90 connectors, too!
Yes, others have also stated the obvious Oddly leaving out that the idea itself a completely new and awesome way to make both series and parallel connections. It seems like they see something that was right in front of them for years and it was so simple but they never figured it out. Perhaps this frustrates them, I'm not sure. So they attack the obvious. I'm not saying your comment is intended to be rude. Im not trying to be a jerk, it just makes me sad. Like crabs in a bucket. (Look it up) Thanks to this hack you never have to tear down and rebuild packs again. I didn't use XT90 connections because on the highest power pull the entire system only sees 150 amps spread over 12 connections. Easy work for an XT60. I have xt90's the will likely be used on the big battery build. 120 8ah Lipo cells. Once again, not directing this comment to you. You don't seem to be using this to elevate yourself. Check out the next two videos. Its awesome! Thanks for watching!

(Only thing I might've done differently is, using Transfer Screws for the Motor Screw Holes - or just "dial the numbers in" with a DRO and Rotary Table on a mill - but that takes too much time!). Haha! Simpler is Better, I always say! Good luck with your project, and I subscribed to see your progress.
Wow I just came across your video. Awesome stuff. The question I have is could that motor be paired with another to be used as a kicker for John boats.
No thin rubber or silicone in the motor clamps? The vibration will cause the clamps to gradually wear on the motor housing. Depending on the useage prob faster than youd think.
If the motor is stopping or feels jammed when you ain't powering it that means it has motor braking turned on . Check esc manual for how to turn it off
How fast will this make a 14 foot aluminum jon boat go, and how much will it cost me to to do this??? Btw... Can you PLEASE send a link for EVERY product you have on this video??? Thank you...
Great speed If not to much to ask can u tell me all u put together. All parts I’d like to try it What’s the charge lasts? Btw good wire connection work
At 11:00, it looks like the bottom set of connectors is turned around backwards. I hope you figured that out before soldering them together, or that i an wrong.
My next project is to insulate and air-condition my garage I would have already started on it but my toilet in the main bathroom failed. So it seems to be a few more weeks but that ac unit would be the ultimate addition vs a window unit. Put it on the back side would be amazing. I never go in my garage during the summer because of how hot it gets inside.
The bearings @5:00 you might want to replace those with ceramic ones. A little less cheap maybe, but it'll add a lot of reliability for not a lot of money.

I watched the other videos, and you're doing everything I would have done - myself. (Only thing I might've done differently is, using Transfer Screws for the Motor Screw Holes - or just "dial the numbers in" with a DRO and Rotary Table on a mill - but that takes too much time!). Haha! Simpler is Better, I always say!
Good luck with your project, and I subscribed to see your progress.
- It wasn't all the way up?
- No. Never.
That's a pearl you have here. She saved your fingers.
You really had an amazing experience!
Thanks man people gonna hate cuz they want it but thanks for showing us this
Starter motor grinder...BRILLIANT!
Wow I just came across your video. Awesome stuff. The question I have is could that motor be paired with another to be used as a kicker for John boats.
Man I need one of these for my relic hunting boat, would make hauling cannonballs out a lot easier
I saw the all in one welder was wondering if they were any good ?
Nice job. Love my Apachi case!😊
10:00 good thing you caught that left-most connector that's flipped polarity before you soldered
No thin rubber or silicone in the motor clamps? The vibration will cause the clamps to gradually wear on the motor housing. Depending on the useage prob faster than youd think.
I love it,what do You reckon You spend și far al includet
I’d love to have you build one of these for my johnboat. Just need a steering shaft with a transom mount bracket. Would also need reverse too.
So the box doesn’t need to be vented? That’s cool!!
If the motor is stopping or feels jammed when you ain't powering it that means it has motor braking turned on .
Check esc manual for how to turn it off
Dude, this is awesome! I'm building a small boat, and this is what I have been looking for! Subscribed!

How fast will this make a 14 foot aluminum jon boat go, and how much will it cost me to to do this???
Btw...
Can you PLEASE send a link for EVERY product you have on this video???
Thank you...
Hey man, is there a video with motor in use on water?
Would love to see
Introducing the new BlendTec Boat Prop. Will it blend?
The batteries don't need cooling as they discharge or charge? When they are all packed together inside insulated case where does the heat go??
So ho long does the battery last around here its all river so will be fighting the current mostly
What motor and prop combo should I use to get the most.endurance out. Not looking for Power. 10 mph at the most pushing 250 lb gross weight kayak.
Great speed If not to much to ask can u tell me all u put together. All parts I’d like to try it What’s the charge lasts? Btw good wire connection work
21:10 The ultimate "That's what she said" 😂
On how many levels is holding that under water at going full power while holding it with one hand.
Interesting The next video on kayak flyng 👏🏻 .
Can you update the links to the parts list? This would be fun to build!
At 11:00, it looks like the bottom set of connectors is turned around backwards. I hope you figured that out before soldering them together, or that i an wrong.
Good eye! You are correct! It is correct in the completed version. Skip ahead and you can see it completely assembled.
I couldn't tell the orientation later in the video.
My next project is to insulate and air-condition my garage I would have already started on it but my toilet in the main bathroom failed. So it seems to be a few more weeks but that ac unit would be the ultimate addition vs a window unit. Put it on the back side would be amazing. I never go in my garage during the summer because of how hot it gets inside.
The bearings @5:00 you might want to replace those with ceramic ones. A little less cheap maybe, but it'll add a lot of reliability for not a lot of money.
If it’s durable it’s awesome 3 phase DC motor wow
How long does it last ? I have thought about doing something similar with a 24 volt trolling motor as a backup for my boat.
That is going to be cool to see completed and yak tested. Way overkill and way cool 👍
