Hi, i know the videos a few yrs old. How has the pulse controller held up? Are you still using it. I seen another video where the guy kept burning his up. Thanks
Awesome video, the best clear, concsice, and complete video ive seen on how to do this, my kayak is being delivered tomorrow and ill be working on setting this up! Thanks for teaching me how!
Neat… I used a linear arm (12v) with a remote to steer my trolling motor shaft, but the lack of precision when steering was driving me mad… it was super cool to see in action, but I would have a hard time going straight. I am not too crazy about the pedal steering, I am looking for ideas to build something like you, with cables, but I think I would like to have them running on the left side of my kayak and build some kind of turning wheel that I could operate with my left hand… 🤷♂️
Hey David, I understand exactly where you’re coming from and I have some ideas for you if you were interested. A little bit of backstory for you… 2020 gave me a lot of time to create videos and start a RU-vid channel etc. but 2022 my job started to ramp back up and I got busy again so it made it very difficult to continue my channel. With all that being said, I have a couple things I’d love to run by you. I have actually implemented and refined a few new things with my trolling motor steering, etc. about six months after I released the video. If you are interested in chatting, hit me up on Facebook messenger and we could video chat or audio chat. I learned a lot trying to implement different methods that did not work, somewhat worked and finally worked well, so I’d love to run them by you and save you some trouble if you’re interested and if you haven’t already thought of the ideas I have to share with you. Last, but not least… I’m free right now, which is rare, so if you hit me up on messenger in the next 15 minutes, I should have about 20 to 30 minutes to chat if you have time just FYI. You can find me on Facebook and hit me up on messenger by searching for Brian Sheldon Jones. You’ll know it’s me because my Flint Hill cat Fishing logo is what I use on my Facebook page. If you see this message later or on another day, hit me up anyway on messenger and we can connect sometime soon. Thanks for watching, and sorry for the long message lol
Yeah, I guess you’re right… I probably should’ve titled it “ watch me catch a few fish from the bank”…Oh well maybe I’ll get it right next time. Lol thanks for watching if you want any detailed info, feel free to reach out. I had a lot of free time during Covid to build my channel and fish Frequently, but in 2022 my job started to ramp back up and I got busy and I have five kids so my life is crazy and I just haven’t been able to continue at this point making videos. I’m always happy to chat though.
That’s awesome. I just moved out here. I used to bank fish the neuse and cape fear river. I’m wanting to know where some awesome bank fishing spots are I can get to by foot to get to the big boys. I like to fish at night for the big daddies. So somewhere I could maybe fish at night and it be ok
You single handily solved my issue with wanting to use reverse but that little lever stays shut so it moves freely I will definitely be adding that curved bracket and ties to mine so I can finally use reverse!
Love this set up. I need help doing this with the Watersnake t24. If you look at it, it has a straight push pin for the tilt lock. Give me ideas on how to keep it unlocked. Thanks in advance. I dont know how to take that pin out.
Do you have inside hull access where the cam cleat is installed? If not, how did you install the cam cleat? Trying to put one on mine but having trouble as I do not have inside hull access at the place it needs to go. Thinking of trying toggle bolts.
ahoy mate. attaching the cable to the bottom of the motor and having that pulley right at the top was a game changer!!! its so easy to pull up it motor now. before I had the cable attached right at the top of the motor and was pulling down to a pulley on the boat. it was so hard to lift!! thanks for that idea!!! drinks are on you!!!
Great job. I have the h10 sit in by ascend and truly love the fishing experience I get from it. Game changer. I’m either doing a rear bracket or still on fence about a side mount right up in front near my knees. Not sure which yet. But definitely next on list. She’s heavier than play kayaks and battling current sucks.
Dean Lawson is my Daddy!!!! Thank you for fishing with my HERO! Best fisherman out there! Love watching this and I will keep it forever. He is 81 and going strong!!!! Deanna Lawson Roach
Mother son duo here...Any chance i can bring mine and my sons to help us set this up. My son and I use to be at each others throats until I saw a video of mom son fishing so I tried it and it worked wonders. Didn't have a clue how so I have been watching you tube videos. But this could mean something big and new for us.
Could you make a parts list for your steering control to the foot pedals? Going to buy the hardware soon and want to make sure I’ve got everything needed.
Thanks man I appreciate the kind words! I have navigation lights and an anchor light as well. I’m usually river fishing though, so I don’t use them unless I’m on the lake.👍🏻👍🏻
I’m wondering what gauge wire you used ? And what size fuse/breaker did you use ? Min kota recommended a 50amp breaker but it’s 30amp max draw. I’m confused
Hi Chris, that’s a great question and I had the same question when I started this project. I did not use a 50 amp breaker because of the 30 amp draw. I used a 30 amp breaker and I have had no problems. I was an electrician for 18 years and I don’t understand fusing a circuit that draws 30 A with a 50 amp breaker. That usually means your wires are going to melt before your breaker trips lol. As far as the wire size is concerned, are used #8 stranded copper AWG. #10 is rated for 30 A, but I had a little extra length so I wanted to compensate by increasing the wire size. Hope this helps.
