Bro thank you I have the new canoe hand steer kit that I'm putting on XTR 130 bonafide now I can actually see how I'm going to mod this after you took apart the NK300 I thought the power cable was all one piece and I would have to splice wires thank you for making this video I will have a video on my build as well not starting it yet still waiting for more parts
Nice video. A heads up though as I think you put the mounting plate for the throttle control on backwards. The plate should cover the bottom of the throttle entirely.
Got a question when you were running the test on the top speed for the trolling motor did you have the electric motor tn the up right position because if it was down I believe it would create a drag on the actual top speed
@@GooberTimeGuideService Oh that’s right. Keep forgetting those Newport batteries are 36v. Bummer, would be cool if you could share one battery between the 2 motors.
@@TWC6724I’m sure you could get a voltage step down for the 12v leg and make it work but I wouldn’t want to take the chance of moving it I one day on accident

Hey no worries. Glad it could help. It’s an awesome little motor
Oh yeah that’s awesome - I think I’m gonna have to get the NK300 for my NuCanoe!
It’s pretty awesome. Hope the video helps

Good catch. I’ll have to take a look at that. Thanks for watching
great video, I have the same setup nk300 with unlimited. Range test would be great.
It’s a beast! Thanks for watching!
Great review, just the info I was looking for!
Happy to help. I know I had a lot of questions when I was thinking about the purchase so figured I’d document it along the way
I imagine you have your suppers in because I didn't see any water on your deck. I get alot of water coming in on mine when I use my xi3.
Some of them. Yes
@GooberTimeGuideService just the factory plugs or something fancy?
@ nothing fancy
Great video! Would that battery fit in the gear pod? I'm going with this same setup and want the battery up front if possible
Too big for that.
I have a Nucanoe Ultimate with an Nk300 with the same battery and achieved a maximum speed of 6.0. How are you getting 6.9 with all that weight?
You watched it in action buddy. That’s just what it does

Yup!
How slow can you go ? Example slow trolling for crappie.
I troll at 0.5 mph for catfish all the time
@@GooberTimeGuideService That's what I wanted to hear. Thank you for the reply.
Could you hook up both motors to the same battery and just use them one at a time or no?
No definitely not. One is 36v and the other is 12v. You’d fry the 12v motor off you hooked it up to 36v. Immediately dead

Hey where is that foot steering unit available from???
That's not a Newport product, is it??
No it’s not. It’s made specifically for nucanoe kayaks. I believe I have it linked in the description box
Did you find that install height for the motor to be good?
Yes. Check out the end of the video where I do water tests. She can move!
That’s not the transom mounting bracket I received for my unlimited. The link doesn’t even show that. I ordered it from Amazon.
There are different transom mounts depending on what you’re planning to attach
