Testing electric outboard motor 32 and 60 lbs 

This is my life and this is my smile! You got it man!

thank you my friend, this helped me decide.. 68lb ordered ;-)

I have had the Striker 60lb for 4 years used in sea water on a 5m clinker hull fishing boat (normally has 6hp-15hp O/B) but for night fishing around the mangroves the 60lb is magic probably does 3-4kts with 3 POB and all up weight ~500kg. Pro's; it is good and reliable and the battery level indicator is a strong plus. Con's; no kick up if you hit the bottom or an obstruction you risk damage if you do. The transom clamps are lightweight, overtighten and you risk breaking the plastic knobs, the steel used in the clamps is light zinc coated it will rust unless rinsed and WD40'd. The tiller handle feels fragile. Here is a real issue though...the connection leads are short, if you extend them use heavy duty high quality 12v/60amp cables and pay particular attention to the join, mine started a fire due to the wire joiners not being up to the amps which lead to melted insulation which lead to battery shorting when the wires clashed. If you have screwed down the terminals to the battery you are in trouble. My solution was to put in heavy duty cable connectors and a 70amp restable fuse/isolator. I strongly recommend some form of quick disconnect. You need to wash it after use particularly around the prop shaft and transom clamp then spray with WD40. I recommend it, it's worth the money.

You're Awesome!

Great video. I was just about to buy the 60lb one, then found out they are fresh water only .

take a shot everytime he says ''like'' :P nice video btw :P

gps speed would be good to mention amp draw tester aswell are you using deep cycle or lifepo4 batteries

Nice video, however just running little rounds doesn't give a good impression of the actuall speeds. So for a moment it crossed my mind to check another video. At the end however you made a clear and nice impression! Cheers mate!

Found your video this morning! Very interesting! Would you one day test bigger motors on bigger boats such as 8.5 meter sail boat! Thank you and keep up your wonderful work!

WHAT I FOUND MATTERS IS BEEING FAST ENOUGH TO OUTRUN THE BUGS / BITING FLIES

Nice video 2 years ago on my channel I built a boat that ran on a 40 lbs thrust the boat was 16 ft cabin cruiser and it worked great iam now building a bigger boat with 68 llb thrust

I ordered a 48 LBS and I can't wait to install it on my revived fiberglass dinghy and I will make a RU-vid video with the distance/ working hours using an 100Amps battery

good video! did you feel the kick at 5th gear on 60 lbs motor?

Hey een vraagje, hoe is de 86 lb trust en kan ik daarmee mijn 7.2 meter zeilboot van 560kg verplaatsen?

Hello please respond, was this test on the sea? And do you think an electric motor would work on the sea with an OK current and waves?

Check my 2 engines side by side: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OVvfDQRLPdg.html&t Hangkai is already 6 year old. Honestly i did not think this engine wil last me so long, when i got it. I thaught of it as a temporary engine, and here I am 6 years later. I hope my electric trolling motor last just as long. I like that it is quiet. Hangkai is a typical working tool. Gets me fast from A to B, helps set up fishing nets, does the job but it is very loud. The other is my holiday motor for weekend trips and relaxation.

its alot ,its enough, its nice,.. whats the speed??? whats the test results??

You should have brought a GPS with you to measure ground speed upwind.

hoe voelt die bodem aan van die rubberboot ? moet je die opblazen of is het gewoon hard van zichzelf ?

Eyyy. eso es San Antonio en Ibiza !!!

i intend to buy a 60lb coupled with a 12v 120AH battery. do you please know how much time i can run it at full speed ?

I propel a 26 foot van de stadt with one 40lbs but have two if I need extra effort, just try them on 24volt instant doubling of power, but dont use them too long thats all!!!

Hi Andries, Hoe bevalt de boot van Aquaparx jou? Is dat een beetje kwalitief bootje om een aantal jaren plezier van te hebben?

wat zijn de snelheden ongeveer..

please tell me what type of batteries you used for the engines ?

What is your battery? It seems quite light. Is it lithium?

Would you say the double HP will drain the batt 2ice as fast? In other words will the 30 HP last 2ice as long as the 60? Thx

I just got my 56lbs motor with mail. My first BIG disappointment in it was the weight. Why the heck is everyone saying this motor is lightweight??? It weighs twice the weight of my 3.5hp gasoline engine and it is 10 times less power. Include the big heavy battery it is 5-6 times heavier then any engine i can fit on my boat. I don't know what the slowest speed it runs on is.. I hope it is not too fast for trolling. Trolling motor should have slow trolling speed.. Gonna have to wait to test it on the water.. So far only bad thing i noticed is the excessive weight on my boat that i'm gonna have to carry around, and that is a really bad thing about this motor.. Now lets look at the bright side.. This motor is cheap. It uses no fuel. It is very quiet, you won't scare away fish with it. It have adjustable shaft so it will fit all boat types. It have reverse gear, useful for some boats. It turns 360 degree, very useful for fast maneuvers. It looks nice and futuristic. You don't get some old looking motor with everything outside. Would I use it as a reserve motor?? Hell no! it is too heavy, i would rather carry two 3.5 hp engines. I will use it to sneak up on fish and for relax, some close to shore net fishing, holiday. In some waters they won't allow you to use a gasoline engine so i have a motor that can run on these waters too. I guess beside complaining about the excessive weight i had some pretty good things to say about the motor. Have fun while it lasts! It's summer now, perfect for boating.

It’s the motor of vidaxl?

Where was this video taken ? 🤗

.....round about.....

Grappig amsterdams accent ; )

These aren't electric outboards they are trolling motors

60 lbs = more speed ?
