Minn Kota Endura C2 30 Prop Upgrade - Cheapest Trolling Motor Hack! - Спорт
I was disappointed to get to the end of the video and discover you didn't actually test it with the new prop.
Very helpful video! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Jorgen!
Thanks brother I'm getting this now
Nice!
Picked one of these trolling motors up Walmart today to use as a spare. It was $94. Keep in mind that the larger prop pokes down further than the skeg on the trolling motor and therefore may strike the bottom before the skeg does.
Great point! Thanks! 👍😊
I lightly damaged my original prop on a rock the other day and decided to try this "upgrade". Smoother, less vibration, more bite on the hole shot. Sounds good right? The catch...... In still water best I could get was 3.6 mph. On my damaged prop I was still getting 3.9 to 4.1. Pre damage 4.3 was the normal max. Next test..... 55 lb thrust motor
Great video you have a fun personality! All ya need is a set of eyes and a hand to make the swap. Noticeable additional power?
Thx mate
Great video very useful 👍
Thanks!
Have you tried to put in the water ? is it getting better speed ?
Thanks for the video
Would there be a way to test the extra strain this puts on the motor? It would be great if it works but really suck if it just burns up the motor when put in the water.
Throw a amp clamp on the positive terminal and amp it out
Any idea of the difference between the 1865003 mk6 and your 1865333
did you run the mkp-6 prop and how did it perform and will it harm my motor in the long run in your opinion
Hey brother, great vids. Do you recommend putting a Katana 2 on a Enduro 30? Thank you and keep em coming.
Minn Kota makes the power prop and the weedless wedge for most of its motors, maybe not all. The power prop will give you more thrust, while the weedless wedge can deflect weeds better. It's not a hack or even an upgrade. It's simply a decision of which stock prop to use out of the 2 that the factory offers.
Does the new propeller extend below the skeg?
So of the 4 wires for the motor, just two power it and I assume the other two go to resistors. Now I wonder if you feed the motor just 6 volts, would it still move? (Be it a lot slower.)
I haven’t tried six, but it didn’t work on lower 12v amperage.
@W R Sporing IF it doesn't have resistors, how does it limit the current?
Are these taps to different windings?
Could you use the original nut and washer in place of the one that comes with the weedless prop?
Yep! 👍
Have you tried a speed test on the new prop on the water yet? Any faster?
Would hooking it up to a 24v marine battery do anything different? Completely new and just used this setup today. Seems fine, was out for about an hour or 2 and battery was still almost full
24v might overjuice it. 😁
@@fishyaker lol as in make it explode?
u wont have problem..drains battery faster..faster canoe
@Von Vanta you will butn the motor, its a brushed motor so the gears arent built to handle it over time.
I tried 24v on my similar motor and some wires inside the "control" unit got very hot and started to melt the plastic around it. It did go very fast for several minutes though! I'm not sure what was happening inside the actual motor. If that part can handle the amps the rest could be upgraded... it would be some major changes though
I put a 3 blade off a motor guide tournament motor on my 55lb Minn Kota. Bites better and seems to pick up 1mph on my 1436
Cool! Did it fit well?
@@fishyaker direct fit. Had to use 2 extra washers as the Motor Guide mount is shallower and there was 1/4-3/8” on shaft exposed. It’s a competition series Hannon 3 blade
Roland martin claimed in a recent video to have worked with minn kota to design the weedless wedge. He says he still makes royalties from it. I was wondering this exact thing. Thanks toast!
I saw that video too! I think I vaguely remember it being marketed that way back in the day too. I guess I’m old! 😁
Your eBay link no longer works, do you have a new link you can share? Thanks!
Thanks for the heads up! I’ll check for a new link. 👍
John I just switched . It's a big difference
Cool! 😊👍
Walmart if you can find it are $96 with tax now
Nice!
Wilkes-barre Walmart had 3 c2 30’s and one 50 on their shelf as of last night just a FYI for any locals
My nearby walmart has the C2 30 for $90 and the C2 40 for $114.
Performance update was it faster ?
I haven’t formally checked the speed and directly compared them, but it definitely feels faster than the stock one and is super smooth. 👍
Let us know if it actually makes the motor faster. If it doesn’t improve performance it’s a waste of money for me
good content for a 2 minute video
Thanks!
geez its 90 dollars plus tax and shipping in canada
Canadian tire have MKP-6 1865003 for less, I remember it's $30 ish when I first see it. But it showes $45 today.
this trolling sucks . i have a really old 30 thrust trolling motor that out does this one by a crap ton .
this one has no power in rev on 3 . on speed settings 1 threw 5 does okay .
other problems the mount is plastic an flexes a lot . when your out i the sun idk the mount seems to flex alot more maybe a plastic defect
