I originally used this on my 17’ mud boat and the paddle board, which is why the shaft is so big. Now that I have a 20’ mud boat that is significantly heavier, I upgraded to a 24v80lbs motor and a 24v60Ah Dakota lithium battery. As for my paddle board, I bought the smaller shaft version of the Rhodan 12v55 and pair it with the Dakota lithium Powerbox 60. If you have any questions, I’m always happy to help!
This was an older video, where I made the box myself and used a battery tender plug. I would highly recommend checking out The Dakota Lithium Powerbox+135, it is a fully waterproof power station/battery and has outside battery post already built into the box. It also floats, which is pretty neat on the chance that something bad happens and the board tips.
