I am having trouble with my Yammie. It also is putting out 15 volts. 15 volts is really bad news for a regulator - no regulator should go above 14.4 for a small outboard battery or you cook the battery. I don't know what Yamaha are doing, the rest of the engine is great.
Its only a charge circuit so I used 2.0mm double insulated wire, my battery is up the front too. Theres a whole series of videos on my channel wiring my boat. Cheers
@@coasttocountryaustralia Thank you! I googled it and the price in Norway (where I currently live) is astronomical. Around 1500 NOK (roughly 210 AUD) and they've put in region barriers so it is impossible to order from amazon / ebay :(. But I'll keep looking.
Great information, thanks for sharing! I just want to run a 12v light so others can see me at night. Do you think I need a battery, or could I just wire the light direct to the regulator with a switch so I can turn it off during the day?
If it was me I would run a small battery, even if its a small motorbike battery, then if your pulling a higher current from something it won't damage the regulator. Cheers
@coasttocountryaustralia thanks mate, great advice. My only issue with the battery is that it will have to be removed and stored when I invert the dingy onto the sailboat deck. Bit of a pain. I will check the amperage when I get a regulator and see if it's capable of running the light. Thanks again 👍 we also have a channel over at @sailingwishfulthinking if you are interested. Cheers
@@coasttocountryaustralia Sounds like its quite good, I think my fishing is similar to yours. Mostly whiting fishing hopping sand holes, some squid and gar fishing so a motor like this might be suitable
I didn't know that you are allowed to use chicken frames or any other part of a chicken or red meat like beef kangaroo to use as bait whilst fishing or are you allowed
Great video thanks. Just a quick question on the jog function. Does it move 1m per button push? (left/right- forward backwards) So if you push the forward button 3 times it will move forward 3m and then stay in anchor mode? As well as clicking the right button 3 times it will move right 3m?
Certainly does, when in anchor mode, sometimes I put in 5m to the right, 3m ahead, sit back and wait for it to put me on the right position, the jog function on the remote only works with the extra gps puck unfortunately. But its well worth it I reckon. Cheers
@@robprideaux3279 rarely wraps the cord around, but it really windy, big tides it has spun the cord around itself but somehow it untangled itself. Most of the time it sits very stable, So far so good, time will tell I guess.
Hi, I use the gardie frames, heads for snapper bait, berley is just either chook pellets with tuna oil, sometimes some fine bran, there not real fussy usually.
Again nice work mate , ps could you send a few of those oversize GAR up here to Moreton Bay, would be great, 😀 just explain to me how those whiting know that Pippies taste that good . well done good video. Cheers Chris
I just bought the Nextgen mk10v2- but no official assembly instructions really suck- the boys at kayak Wetherill Park- will be hearing about it. I can't understand why they did not invest in a short video and not rely on others to post their personal experiences in assembling the kayak.
I just bought one today, fiddled with the rudder a bit, it is a different style to yours, it does not retract into the top of the yak groove, it on ly folds straight up, I dont like that, all else is good.
The head unit plastic mount and the transducer bracket come with the sounder, the aluminium frame the sounder is mounted on I made, theres a whole series on that boat from start to finish. Cheers
Hey mate i have the same motor, what i find annoying sometimes is the cord gets all twisted around the shaft. Have u had this happen? If so, any solution?
also a little tip for those who are learning its very easy when learning to mess up the second fillet so simply take the head and collar off before filleting it, makes the fish lay flat when you do the second side. Easy to do when you gut the fish too, intead of cutting the gills out you can just pull the head down until the backbone snaps then the guts come out with the head, once you have the hang of things its not needed but when learning its a handy thing to do (can do this with all fish too, except maybe Garfish

There still going ok, one of them was sent with the "new style paddle" which is a bit shorter than the other one and sucks a bit but other than that they seem good. Cheers
Hi. Not sure if you still run this trolling motor. Would you mind giving me your honest opinion on this motor and if it is good value for money. Thanks in advance and kind regards.
nice. i made one up recently, using the hydraulics of my wood splitter to drive it. get some funny looks when i turn up with my wood splitter to wind a fence up .... but they soon stop laughing... sure is a game changer. i like youre spool set up . mines not quite so nice...
