Thanks!!! I just found one with the same listing despite the one linked being unavailable. If people search Generic 12v 1HP trolling motor and do some scrolling hopefully they will find it also. I have been planning to order a 24v 110# Haswing, but this deal was too good to pass up. Will upgrade later.
Unfortunately the one I got is showing unavailable for purchase now. Tried the search again without luck but maybe they will be adding more listings. So happy I didn’t wait to order. Thanks again!
The barrel isnt really giving a good read on amp draw. Under actual use mine draws 44 to 48 amps at full. Great motors for the most part. For me a draw back is the new auto-boat gps adapter doesnt work with these.
Agreed. A barrel test isn't as accurate as a field test but I wanted to make sure the motor worked. I have one on one of these on my kayak. I actually owned the Gen1 of the Protruar 1.0.
i got 2 now, not sure of the gen. They warranty replaced one and let me keep the old one. So i repaired it lol Mines a few years old now and since i got livescope iam really wanting something with spot lock. SO i may go back to my old 40# mk and get autoboat for it. But i think ill keep the haswing on the back for main travel. @@Aksmaniyak
You can use Minn Lota PowerDrive Control board, steering transmission, and iPilot parts to build the same system as the Autoboat basically with the added benefit of parts availability and years of service, etc. Total price ends up being about the same. Likewise you could build a MG based system price.
