Just installed one on my 23 Ridgeline. Love it, fits great

Thanks for the video.

Imagine if you could just plug your battery into the top of the trolling motor just like a power tool with no wires.

That should work great. For about 4 minutes 😂

That is going to run down in 10 minutes 😂

1 st gear 8.1 amp 2nd gear 10.2 amp 3rd gear 13.7 amp 4 th gear 16.4 amp 5th gear 29.2 amp

would have liked to see the actual install.

Can you open the trunk all the way when cover is rolled back

That gauge wire looks too small for 30amps.

Have you ever tried using a impact with that?

After realizing I could stick ring, terminal connectors, or blade connectors into Dewalt or Black & Decker batteries to power my Garman stryker for, it made me think I wonder if this would power the trolling motor are used for propulsion? The battery is the heaviest part, and there are even two-stroke engines that weigh less than the battery fuel and all. Solar panels don’t do enough to even give me an extra 30 minutes per day even if the entire surface area of the boat is covered. I am scared of messing up the trolling motor, though, 13.5 V on a 600 amp deep cycle, marine battery. That’s about 450 amp hours. With drawl of around 25 to 30 A per hour. Of course once you get down to 12 V it’s not giving you much anymore. I’ve noticed it saves a lot to run on one out of four instead of full speed like any boat you’re just wasting power past halfway. but I am very tempted to plug my trolling motor into a 20 V 9 AM power Dewalt battery just to see what will happen. I really don’t want to mess it up but the switch is already burned up. I’ve hardwired it I guess that could kill it with voltage it’s only gonna drive many amps is it needs right? Since the Garman takes anywhere from 10 to 18 V, I put 29 V batteries in sequence it’s enough to last for an hour that’s fine for the garmin, with only one amp though I wonder what that would do with the trolling motor? I pretty much have a redneck version of an electric boat using a trolling motor and a battery for propulsion. It’s so small a gas motor , it’s just gonna be too much. Does little. Hondas seem great but they are prohibitively expensive. It gets me around for sure but I’m interested to see what other folks do with kayaks because it’s similar to what I do with a little jonboat. Even a Bimini top would catch too much wind for me to be able to use it. But it’s all I’ve got for now and hopefully next year the water will be back up so we can use the pontoon.

The converter has a max amp rating. The motor draws 30.under load How much is the converter giving you? Looks small for 30

Stupid video

What is the little component in the orange box with the cooling fins? Also could use part number. Thanks

Boring

Why not just turn the bolts around and then cut the extra off? Then you wouldn't need to mess around without a piece of wood

Remove the regulator. Will work just fine with out it. Keeps cutting off do to low voltage cut off on the regulator. Im using Milwaukee M18 with no regulator. Working 100%. That regulator is for a 24v setup. Not 18v. You are not using the full power of the battery.

Can you go Any slower ?

Doesn´t need the Step Down, the minnkota suports 18V

I tried my 18v Milwaukee battery on my trolling motor when I bought it used to make sure everything worked alright. The only problem is the 6 amp hour batteries are only good for about 10-15 minutes running time before they are below the charge rate. Knowing you should never go below that rate (or you will ruin the battery) I really don't see it as an option to run them on my boat (unless I had a whole box of them fully charged) You're dreaming.

What DC converter are you using?

How long does it last on water

What size is that bolt head and ratchet?

How long does it run

This is an awesome idea. How is it working for you?
