*Great little trolling motor **enjoyable.fishing** recommend had it hooked up to my 15 foot old town canoe and it pushed it pretty good with me and my son (220 pounds each).*
This video is 4 years old and is still applicable! I spent countless hours trying to figure out why my trolling motor wasn’t working. I watched this video and check the breaker and “chazam,” the breaker was tripped. I reset it and the trolling motor immediately worked. Great job!
Hey Justin Austin, I think you and I both went through MMI back in 05 n 06, gald to see you're doing good. I joined the marines a couple months after school. 0331. Keep up the great work! Remember when u chocked me out with my own shirt.
Two years later this motor is going strong ru-vid.comUgkxBZWgzfpS2Jj7JqIHyaSZjyVHNUgCKCBf Just uploaded a video of it after 2 years. We use it probably a dozen days each year on our small raft.-original review- We got this motor the other day and tested it out. I don't have anything to compare it to, but it seems good to me. It has all the features advertised - the motor housing is metal. We will see how it performs longer term and I will revise this review if needed. Some initial observations:- Good thrust, moves our boat around really well- It comes with a circuit breaker but no switch - so there's no way to kill the motor other than yanking the connection off the battery. I installed an inline switch.- The mount bracket is plastic and I worry it might break- There are a number of plastic parts that I worry about, but the most important ones are metal or some kind of composite
I have a motor guide x3 45lb thrust it has 10awg wiring but I have to run more wire do I use the same gage or do I go bigger and do I need a 50amp breaker or a 30
do you have to run trolling motor wires directly to the battery? Heres what I want to do.... I want to run both the Pos and Neg to a bussbar along with my fish finder and bilge..... ill have a circuit breaker on the trolling motor and inline fuse on the bilge... then ill go from busbar to the battery..... can I do this? or do I need to run the trolling motor directly to the battery?
Great video!! My current system does not have breakers, it has in-line fuses -- can I add breakers just like this boat has, and remove those inline fuses?
Hi I have a ipilot terrova. When I put it in spot lock it will only stay in spot lock for like 30 seconds then kicks out but when its noting the water it stays running? Also mine dont have any breakers that you are showing I had cabelas hook it up
I just bought a bass boat and the batteries are not wired together they both go to breakers I think. They have what looks to be red buttons on the little box to reset them. But I problem when I switch to 24v on the trolling motor I get nothing.
to be completely honest with you, I'm no expert, I just installed a minnkota 60 amp breaker on my 24 volt system with a minnkota riptide ST 80lbs. thrust trolling motor (new addition to my 19 ft. SeaPro Skiff) and it was in the directions to add to the positive side of 24v system. As far as why did they use it? I have no idea
Shane Stewart I thought abouit it too... maybe by installing a breaker on the jumper cable you protect the batteries in case one of them fails. It happened to me once, I had two batteries wired up in series without any breaker and while I was using the TM, one of them broke so the other one warmed up and suffered a lot. Maybe if I had a breaker on the jumper cable the jumper popped and the healthy battery didn't suffer as much.... just my two cents
