Watersnake Trolling Motor Review, Reviewing and fixing a Watersnake trolling motor after two years. 

Even though I'm not an engineer, I too like to attempt my own repairs on most things. But I got to say, that trick with the paper towel and shop vac was a new one to me. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. I am still amazed that you don't have like 500k of followers. The rest of the fishing world doesn't know what they are missing out on!

The trick with the shop vac pulling the string through was a great to know.

It's such a great feeling to fix something yourself especially when it's somewhat complicated. Back when I was a poor college student I had to learn automotive repair even though I was more of a wood working guy in high school (actually more towards arts and crafts if I'm being honest). But after suffering sticker shock at the local garage and looking at the guy doing the repairs I figured out fast that that I could do it as good or better with a few tools and knowledge. Luckily the repair manuals were incredibly detailed. Unfortunately that was before phones with cameras and a few times I ended up with extra bolts and no idea where they were supposed to go but usually the job turned out well.

I have had mine for a year and a half as well, so far no issues! I have been pretty impressed with the motor nd the way it works. Great job on getting yours up and running again! Great job on them sending you the parts to repair it for free!

The ol' shop vac trick...

Excellent documentary on a DIY project. I love it when a broken object can be returned to service. I am currently having words with a stubborn refrigerator ice maker.

My guys a genius with the vacuum trick 👏🏼

Great video and content. I also saw in the comments below that the motor crapped out again which is disappointing as i am looking to replace my Motorguide and the Watersnake was an option. I'm in Australia but the info is still relevant and helpful, so thanks for posting. I've also just subscribed 👍

I like fixing things that's already broken. The pressure is off and it can only get better. I really don't know how people get by if they can't work on what needs fixing.

If you don’t have a powerful enough shop vac use the wire coil we use for making line ties………It makes a great snake………

I need that part

I meant so I have got a lure maker So I'm cutting my own dive lips out of Polly acrylic Or plexiglass whatever you call it from the hardware store because that's what I've got access to One thickness is point 50 and the other 1 is point 93 The thicker one is very stiff it makes it easy to Easy to shape but also it's easy to break if you put too much pressure on it The others are more flexible but when you cut it down to the right size it does still have some flex but it is very stiff I wanna get your thoughts on which one I should use I'm making 1 of those little wormhead attachments That you made the last year Making it out of wood cause I've had no luck using resin

So how has the trolling motor performed since the repair? Would you recommend it to others? I'm thinking about buying one and wanted to get your opinion. Thanks for the video, It is very much appreciated!

great video

Im in north Florida too. Im retired and fish 3-4 times a week. Is there any way you would be willing to teach an old timer about making the lures.

Is it still running? I just got a used one and it worked when I got it. Hit the lake for the first time and it got nothing going on at all.

What is the name of that part? I’ve got the same model and it just stopped working.

How did you contact them? Have a phone number?

Yo come on dude. How long is the warranty?? They need a better one. No customer should have to this. Just no. Just my 2 Lincoln's.
