Review of the Cayman Haswing Wireless Trolling Motor, Part 2 

You sound so excited and now I’m so excited for mine to come.

I purchased the 12v 55 lbs of thrust and am impressed beyond belief thus far with this product. I attached it to a fish pontoon and find no need for the strap but could see a use on a bass boat or possible the highway when transporting it.. the only negative

I got a little over 2 Years out of my first Haswing Cayman before the remote steering seized up. I disassembled it so as to access the servo motor and the gear box and found that both shaft bearings were fouled with grit and would not turn. I took the top off and cut the main (8 gauge) wire so that I could slide the entire control box up and off of the shaft. I then popped the entire shaft bearing assembly out of its seat, cleaned and lubricated both bearings. They spun freely and after a little extra grease on the bearings and seals, I reassembled everything, used a heat shrink connector on the main power wire and it works fine again. I am a stickler for maintenance so its not like I neglected it but spraying Super Slick Slick Stuff or WD-40 in the top and bottom of the shaft wasn't enough apparently so I now I'll just add disassembling and greasing the shaft bearings to my routine maintenance. I've had friends have the same issues with the more expensive brands so for the money I really like the Cayman.

i have the 24v 80# model and like greauxpete read the directions locking collar must be moved down too base to prevent it from releasing . it will go nowhere , i put a piece of elec tape to mark my depth on shaft . by far this TM is worth it ive had all the other brands on my stratos and honestly there junk and no warranty at all. foot pedal takes some time to get use too but the remote and length of foot pedal wire you can use it all around my 21" 201 pro elite . best of all no knee fatigue after a day of fishing. and its a large prop like my omc which was the best tm ever. lasted 28 yrs, still works just need some foot pedal parts lost speed 2 in rotary switch . as far as losing remote link i have yet to experience that at all . so far 5 stars from me for a 1/3 the price . my friend bought a new 80# foot control for $1200 name brand and out of maybe 10 times on the water it has died twice at $300 a pop to fix it. remeber there all made in china even my 28 yr old omc so let the whinners cry to me about no warranty unlike haswing which has one and ive yet to need it. the mount is really for a pontoon i assume but hacking up my old motor guide mount i made a slide mount to slide it back so its out of the way when loading on those steep ramps. next project wire in a gps to head unit and use the helmsman app . paid $500 on amazon wish i bought 2.

Your supposed to slide the collar down when underway to keep the motor from bouncing out. With the collar slid to the base it can't go anywhere.

I just order the same unit had a Minn Kota 55 thrush with a hand control that came with my boat sometime it works and sometimes it won't can't wait to get my new unit

Just use a Velcro strap to go thru cleat an around shaft.

Thank you very much for this super in depth review can you give a quick update on it now?

Thanks for the review bud

Hi, awesome review. What battery do you use, and how long it last. Thanks

How have you been liking this unit to date? is it holding up? Have you had to deal with support at all? if so how has support been?

the remote sucks bad on the trolling motor. i bougt this trolling motor also and the motor is great but the remote died in less than one year. good thing i got the foot remote also.

How’s the trolling motor running so far? Good review by the way, very tempted to purchase the Haswing

Most trolling motors you use heel/toe and has a button on the toe area to make trolling motor work. Does the heel work by placing your heel on that circle and hitting left or right? Or do i have to turn it on? How does the pedal function? if you just press left or right it just works?

Still have it? Still love it? Any problems or dislikes? Thnx in advance

Thanks for the video. A Haswing Cayman 55 came on a used boat I purchased and I didn't get any documentation. Mine will not lock in place after I deploy it in the water. That is, the small metal chrome hooks don't latch over the metal rod/dowel. Maybe I'm doing something wrong or a part is broken. Do you know? Any help you can provide is appreciated. Thanks.

Sorry one more question. I have 16’ center console and use my boat in the bay so you get a mixed bag. Calm days, rough days, windy days and tides. How is the power of the 55lbs. I am thinking of getting the gps version of this.

3 years have passed since the video, do you have any opinion or consideration of working to add? I'm looking for opinions to evaluate the purchasing...

i just tried mine for the first time, i found at lower speed settings is made some noise from the box , while at the higher speed settings it was quiet, did you experiance this?

Hi , i just ordered a Aquos Haswing 12v 55lbs 48'' and i was concerned of fitting on my 18' glastron ski and fish. What boat do you have it on?

I have the 55lbs haswing. I was wondering if anything lights up on the remote while charging it. Thanks

Where did you order this whole package from

will it work on a pontoon boat /18ft

where is it made?
