*I bought this model for my 14 ft Jon boat. **enjoyable.fishing** recommend love it!!! It pushes my boat with ease ( 2 men 220 each). I would highly recommend this to anyone.*
JUSTIN CARFAGNINI I really wanted to show how powerful it is and if it's for one or two or three people or even 4 you don't need anything more powerful, at least that's what I think and see
You did an excellent job of portraying that. Most all of the other videos I watched people were out by themselves or not in a similar type craft I am looking to use it on. Appreciate your review and taking the time to show! Cheers!
JUSTIN CARFAGNINI I always try to do my best to show end to describe you might see my couple other videos I do really show important things. What gets me is when people write reviews for something that they just received and they say we just got it looks nice didn't test it yet or didn't try it yet I just don't understand that
@@intruderIG , I see your point, however, this video and your lovely family showed me 90% of what I need to know about this troller. I'll find other reviews that will provide the rest; and I'll bet they don't load a 14' aluminum boat to the max and motor across a lake with it. Great review from the true heart of America! Thank you.
Thanks for the informative review !!! Need to add one to my 14’ Alumnacraft jonboat. Beautiful family n gr8 to see you all enjoying the time together 👍
I really like the minn kotas. I had a 30lb thrust on an intex excursion 4 that used to do really well even in some open water. I also found the power center battery box very useful. I even charged my cell and other devices with it such as my marine radio.
I haven't taken it to the open water because I have 1969 Johnson 10 horsepower. But I do have a battery or power station Box which I love.I love that marine radio idea.
Was so useful your video test about this electric engine, me I buy a 46 and I can't wait to install it on my fiberglass dinghy and to make a video with the test, I subscribe to your channel 👍
Hi great video mate. What a lovely family unit you have. May you please tell me what battery box, and battery and battery charger you use as I'm completely new ro this. Best regards Adam.
Thank you for your video. I don't know what I am doing, but I want an electric motor for my canoe. After watching this, I don't think I need a Max. I am going to get what you have, but what else do I need to buy? Is this a special battery? I suppose I need a mount too.
You are welcome. There is nothing special except the Power Box that battery goes in.I highly recommend that. Battery I purchased at Walmart for about $80 over 3 years ago and still ha e the same one. I check button on power box and showes me if I have to charge it.I maintain it on charger or even trickle charger. Never set a battery on a concrete while storing it.It will drain it faster.
@@intruderIG Which Minn Kota 45 Thrust is it? Edge? Fortrex? They have so many different ones, see here: www.walmart.com/search/?query=minn%20kota%2045
I just bought one, thanks for your video, I know what to expect now, I'm putting it on a 10' waco Jon boat, I just need the battery, I'm going with your setup
In case you're still not impressed, after watching this video, remember, The Rule of Thumb says 1HP = 22 lbs. of thrust. At 45 lbs., this motor is equal to a bit over 2HP. So if you think of it in context to a small outboard, you'll see this motor keeps up quite well. Nice video. Thanks for showing us ilhoG. -b
Power is work done per unit time, and thrust is just a force. They cannot be readily converted to one another. The power output of the motor can be directly correlated to the power draw on the battery, which Minn Kota states to be 42 amps at 12V, or about 500W. Assuming some inefficiencies, this motor is outputting around half of a horsepower.
Hi, Thank you for the video on the 45 lb thrust motor. It helps me decide to get it over 55 lb. A lot of people complaining on Amazon that after a few months of idle time or in storage, the motor is not working. Or the battery is failing or fire hazard. Are your motor and battery still working? Thank you.
Years later all working like new.Trickle charge battery watch water level.and don't worry about it. If you neglect it no matter what you buy it will be seasonal thing.
Brian ,I went to Walmart and purchased Interstate deep cycle batterie.Group 47. 3 Years old and still good. I do put it on $4 tricke charger from Harborfreight. Once every couple weeks.Keep watter level up and they can last 5-6 years.
Just an idea, but there are free apps for your phone with GPS speeds. Would have been nice to show us what the ACTUAL speed you were going was. My guess. 4mph. OMG, that is fast. Why is nobody wearing life vests since they could fall out at such high speeds.
That is about 0.6 horse power . If you live in an area with fish that is all you need . I live an area that has more boats than fish so I travel 20 miles to catch nothing . .lol now you can say you don't need all that power to catch nothing, you can do it with 0.6 horse powerand and save your money.
Hehehehhe , I have Lake Pleasant ,AZ close to my home but I love these small lakes in the mountains so I need to drive couple of hours to it but it is worth the drive.
@@Funkteon a Pulse Width Modulator. It controls the motor in a progressive manner rather than the stepped way it does it between speeds. It also only draws the amps needed and so makes your battery last up to 5x longer. I made my own for about £20. There's a good video from Aksmen on UA-cam showing you the parts and how to
I can imagine how fast it would be with two motors in tandem...and so quiet. if you used a little 3 hp gas engine you couldn't have made the video because it would be too loud to run the motor and talk at the same time. enjoy!
CAN YOU TRANSLATE FOR THE SOUTHERNERS ? WHAT IS TRUST? HAVE A SNEAKY SUSPICION THIS HERE FELLER IS FROM THE UPPER PENNISULA ,MAYBE FURTHER NORTH ....LOL REMINDS ME OF " ESCANABA IN DA MOONLIGHT" LOL ROTFLMAO
I hear trust is double the power of thrust!
B. Killough good one. You have to TRUST it. Haha.
🤣
I really like how the whole family is well trained lol. All he has to do is snap his fingers and they listen. Old school right here.
Born in 74 .My father didn't have to talk.He moves his eyes and we all knew what to do.Same thing here we respect each other and listen to each other.
I was thinking the same thing...My dad used to snap and we'd straighten right up!
Nice to see you and your beautiful family enjoying the simple pleasures of life . Wonderful ! Thank you .
Thank You for such kind comment.We are happy to be alive and healthy.Everything else is not important.Wish You all the best.

I used to use a 34 lbs thrust Minn Kota Endura with same size rig and it worked fine. Only had a problem with high winds.
Thank you for the headsup! I'd buy ya a beer if I saw ya!
Mike Theune and than we'll light up the bbq.

Very cute video and family. I just bought the 45lb Riptide (for salt water), so this informative video makes me happy with my choice.
Thank You Mark.
Enjoy it and stay safe.
45 pounds of trust...
Thats what I heard LOL!!
It really works. Thrust me.
😂
🤣🤣
I mean if u want me too😏
Nice video and great family . May I ask what kind of battery you are using ? How many amps hours is that ? Many thanks
I bought the riptide 45lb for a 32kg kayak. I'm so looking forward to use it. I hope that yours is still going strong!
That'll be plenty.
Yes mine is still going strong .
Enjoy it
I recently got the 40lb riptide and put on my 10' jon boat and surprisingly fast if you put on a kayak 45lb hold on brotha lol
@@intruderIG Thanks 🙏
@@jessebrown4755 😂
Cool Video, i'm thinking of getting this for my canoe.
I have a 55lb thrust. Don’t go any faster w more lbs of torque. Just had alittle more power.
Great video. Thank you.
Thank You
You are welcome
Lol them finger snaps got 65 lbs of thrust had me straighten up
Thanks for sharing mate 👍 and We all need something we can trust 😉
Thank you! Great video!

Can’t believe only 45 pounds of trust can move like that.
Only 45

i love this video lmao.. the look the woman has on her face.. priceless
lololololol
so much trust
How will the battery power center help if you get caught in the weeds? Does it cut power/ pop a fuse instead of burning up the motor?

Is the trolling motor still working? I bought the 55 and it quit working with low hours. Warranty was up and worry about buying M Kota again.
We actually went to woods canyon lake last week and it is still like brand new.
I have the 55 on my 16 ft, vhull
I thrust what this man is saying...
😁
What kind of battery can you buy for $40 that is any good ?
None.But I did purchase Minn kota power box as I showed in video , which btw.right now cost $69
looks like a scene from birdbox..

How long does your battery usually last? Thanks

We are great swimmers
Life vests are for pu$$ys he says

OK now put it in 2
if u put it on speed 5 for to long it will burn it up i know ive gone thru three
Heheheheheh sorry it is funny, I would've stopped at 2nd.Thank You for info.
You mean gone tru tree?
Can i take this motor to saltwater??
You should be able to do so just like any other motor.Just after the use wash it thoroughly with regular water .

just because it kind of moves the boat doesnt mean it`s enough
It doesn't "kind of moves the boat" it moves the boat fast and that means it's more than enough ●
should try 65lb trust with 5 people you are maybe 2,6 mph not fast
