Cayman Haswing Trolling Motor Update After 3 Years Of Use And New GPS Model
HTML-код

- After putting my Cayman Haswing 55lb trust 12v trolling motor through the ringer and it's still running like a champ. But I've finally decided to upgrade to the new version. The new Cayman Haswing has spotlock and GPS features and can be operated with your cell phone via bluetooth. I'm pretty excited to test out this new model and see how it performs!

I bought my Haswing almost soley after watching your review vids about 3 years ago....I still have mine....its almost indestructible.....👍👍
I bought my Cayman two years ago after seeing your first video on yours. I have beat the crap out of it. Left it bad weather and hot sun for weeks at at a time. It still plugs in and goes just like the day I bought it.
You going to love spot lock kris , it's not a necessity but it sure is nice to have especially when you hook up on a big fish and your by yourself fishing . Nice review brother
This video has convinced me to buy this brand of trolling motor. It will be here on April 12th. Once I get it installed and try it out, I will let you know how well it works,
Are you happy with the purchase? The spot lock is good?
How do you like it?
Love spot lock! It's a game changer when anchor fishing (no anchor needed!).
Great review, and Kris I hope you don't mind me leaving my review in the comments on you video. Not trying to hijack yours, just trying to give your followers who are waiting for you to give a 1 year review on the new Cayman B GPS model another opinion coming from someone with a completely different fishing style as yours. Helping them make a informed decision before spending their hard earn money. Feel free to remove my review if don't want it on here, with no hard feeling from me as I know this is your channel and content.I'll try to keep it short as possible and Kris if you would like a more in-depth review contact me and I'll send it to you and you can post it where you'd like.
I have had my Cayman B GPS on my boat now for about a year now. And I have had zero issues with it. And I have put probably close to 3 years of use on it (what a normal weekend angler would ) in this one year. As I fished 23 bass tournaments (Feb-Nov) this year here in Oklahoma, Then you add all the other days (3-6 days a week a few hours a day after work, to full days on days I'm off work) and I would guess that I've put about 3 years of normal use on a trolling motor in a year. There are a few minor things that I would like to see Haswing change, but none are a deal breaker to me if I was looking to buy a new motor. I wish there was a option in the Helmsman App to turn off the beeps that you hear every time you give the motor a steering/speed command with the remotes. (Anyone want to guess how many beeps you hear while fishing a bass tournament for 8 hours..lol). The 2 other things would be to attach a short deployment strap to the shaft just under the motor head that you can grab while you step on the motor release to retrieve the motor. Having to reach down to grab the motor head when fishing in high wind and rough water is a good way to go for a swim. I put a $5 velcro strap on mine to stop from going swimming.
The first 2 are very minor dislikes, my 1 othe dislike/wish they would change is the Spot Loc/Anchor Loc system. I wish they would put a switch on the foot controller that would engage/disengage the Spot-Loc instead on having to use the Helmsman App to use Spot-Loc. Cause you have to use the Hand remote to use the Helmsman App seeing how you have to pair the remote to the motor and then pair your phone to the remote. And you can't pair your phone to foot controller. Again this is not a big deal for me, as I'm usually on the move covering as much water as possible looking for any active fish. But there are times that I want to pound a spot and as long as it's over 10 ft of water depth it would be nice to step on the switch to engage Spot-Loc. Using it in anything shallower than 8 foot using Spot-Loc will "blow-out" the spot . Especially on windy days. So again it's not a big deal for me due to my style of fishing, but it may be to others with different fishing style.
So if I was to give my heavily used Haswing Cayman B Gps 12v 55# trolling motor a 1 year star rating, I would give it a 9.5 out of 10 stars.. The 1/2 star downgrade would be for the lack of a Spot-Loc switch on the foot controller.
Looks very sturdy, Kris. Good decision and good video. More people need to try other brands so MinnKota stops jacking up their prices to the moon.
mine also came with the quick disconnect bracket mounting.. so all you have is a puck on your boat.. that was a surprise.. 1081.00 shipped after tax on amazon. had it out yesterday .. still have to get used to it.. the syncing and the private wireless network to join your phone to the motor.. takes a little getting used to.. but the spotlock/anchor worked great.. so far its an amazing value.
Awesome love what u do u have inspired me & my kids to start our own utube channel what's at our back door dwn the malbrough sounds new Zealand fishing hunting water sking &JUST HAVING FUN with my 2 kids make the most of life thanks...herrbs kiwi experience 😁😁
Another’s mans trash is another fisherman’s treasure. Seen some great videos off of that bad boy! Keep up the great content Kris
I was thinking of getting one of those, good to know they are tough enough to deliver for a number of years.
Haswing needs to show some appreciation and love. Sponsor the man already
That's how they keep the price down by not advertising or sponsoring people
Hey man consider yourself lucky you even have a boat at all. I’m stuck with shore fishing! One of these days I’ll be able get on the water.
Awesome man , like the new one has spot lock and GPS that's cool , sure it will help to have more time to land fish and such for film . Can't wait to see the next vid brother have a good evening .
Thanks Kris! I'm probably going to get one of these Haswing GPS trolling motors in the spring. Any follow-ups about the installation and set up as well as the GPS enabled phone app and a first impressions review would be super helpful. Best wishes. -Dave Martin
Thanks for your review. I think your video has convinced me to by the Cayman 55 lb.
Going to have to give one a try for my own boat looks like a good unit to me thanks kris
Hey Kris it good to see you my brother. I've been thinking about a new motor mrself I will be watching this closely.
Great to know these are tough enough to deliver for a few years. Great price for what you get it seems.
Hey Kris, thanks for the informative video!!! I've been looking at buying two if them for both of my boats and needed a review I could trust before buying!!! You have delivered and I will be getting mine soon!!!!!
I guess Im asking randomly but does someone know a trick to get back into an instagram account??
I was stupid forgot my login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me
@Chris Derek Instablaster ;)
@Pablo Aydin I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Pablo Aydin It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much you really help me out!
@Chris Derek happy to help xD
I have the 80lb cayman, 5 yrs not one single problem. Got chorded footpedal and remote. Just emailed about gps upgrade kit
I would just love to have your old one. I can’t afford one that nice 👍 take care nice video thanks
Sometimes the best buys are the least of costs😊
Thank u kris for doing this video brother. Thats y i asked about it because im about to get one
I agree with you sum times you have to go with what u can a ford 👍
I have a name for people who claim that "you get what you pay for." I call them fools. Paying more does not assure better quality and performance any more than buying something that is less expensive assures better value. I'll spare you the stories about the times I paid high prices for garbage and just say that I really hate it when that happens. Nobody ever apologized to me after charging me a high price and delivering less than was promised so I don't apologize for looking for good value. I am fortunate in that I can afford to get most of the things I want (I don't want too much.) I do my research to try and find stuff with good, reliable reviews and is the best value for the money. As a matter of fact, that's how I ended up at this channel. Thanks for making this video Kris!
I was getting ready to order this unit but after reading several reviews across different platforms it seems the remote control is giving people a lot of problems.
I contacted the manufacturer and they told me the remote is not covered under the warranty at all.
That was a deal breaker for me so I spent the extra couple hundred and got the Minn Kota...
I know many have not had problems but the fact they don't offer a warranty says a lot.
Interested to see how the new one works for you. Thinking of getting either of them
Nice video kris
Hey buddy I’m thinking about buying this trolling motor but every email and phone number to the company either is disconnected or no longer a good number. Were you ever able to get in touch with customer service because I had a few questions about it but it seems like they just will not write a good number to get in touch with them. And it’s always your videos are awesome dude.
Loving your content! Thanks for the vid. Do you still like Cayman Haswing? I'm looking for my first trolling motor now! Trying to decide to buy a new one of them, or save and buy another brand used.
I'm still using this trolling motor with no issues. And I'm on the water every weekend. I'm very satisfied with it. If you buy the gps model keep in mind it works off of an app on your phone if you get into an area that has no cell phone service the gps functions will not work.
@@muddyrivercatfishing Thank you so much! I want a motor, but don't have any money! This one may work! LOL
@@muddyrivercatfishing One more thing, does Spot Lock only work with GPS on the phone as well?
Spot lock only works with the app
Great Video...just one question.... is the shaft 48" enough when installed on a pontoon?
I'm thinking of replacing my minn kota! I've been eyeing these for a year! What length is your boat? I wondering how well it pushes it? Not sure if I want to spend twice as much for the 24 volt, 80#
Put some silicone in the connectors so rain won’t get it and short it while you’re using.
I looked on your channel, didn't see the update video on the new trolling motor. How's it doing?
Can we use more then 1 motors
simultaneously? .. Control by steering / remote.. Nice vid.. Thanks alot... Waiting for your reply 👍
I've never tried and I've never heard of anyone doing it. But I think it may be possible if you are able to pair the remote to both motors.
Spot lock only works if you have a cell signal from the app, so this won't work for everyone.
Hey kris how can I buy those big catfish decals you got on ur side of ur boat??
Great videos been fallowing you for a while now. I really like the haswing cayman gps system and I'm about to order one for myself. Your first haswing is white but you 2nd one you bought a black gps haswing . Can you tell me if the white one changes colour over the years due to the sun beating on it while on the water? I'm asking because if it does I'll order a black one. I saw that yours was a bit yellow.
Thanks for watching my videos. The white one will yellow with excess sun exposure. The GPS model works through your cell phone so if you don't have service you will not be able to use your spot lock and other gps features.
@@muddyrivercatfishing thank you very much for your reply !! Your answer due to your experience from owning these systems helped me in my decision. Keep the vids coming bud!!
What size deck boat do you have and do you feel the 55lb thrust is enough?
Do you have a customer service contact for Haswing sir? I’ve been all over trying to reach them
Do you plan on doing a video review of this unit I am thinking about getting one
I have been using it every weekend with no issues. I've been meaning to do an updated review on it
Dose it have a anchor mode or spot lock
How you liking the new unit
can you spot lock with remote????????????
The spot lock and gps functions work off an app on your cell phone
How is the motor holding up?
Can you give us a update on them
Saltwater ??
IT'S JUNK !
I look up that trolling motor. Can’t find the one with spot lock. Can you help me.
PARKHO HASWING Motor eléctrico de Trolling - 12 V 48 pulgadas 54 pulgadas 55 libras Cayman GPS ancla eje de control arco montaje barco de pesca agua salada agua dulce con pedal inalámbrico remoto de velocidad de pie soporte de liberación rápida www.amazon.com/dp/B09B17CKVH/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_navT_g_RYSJA1K4BZ8RNPDAPVFT
Can you do that in English. Sorry.
Not sure why it came out in Spanish,
Thanks I just ordered one.
@@muddyrivercatfishing I did not get spot lock probably going to regret it. Just could not see paying that much extra. So anchos I guess.
how did that new motor hold up
Still running strong
Hey Chris do you still use this brand ?
I still do. Still gets the job done
@@muddyrivercatfishing I’m trying to find one with 80 pound thrust 24 v possibly with spit lock do you know where I could find one?
mine quit working and I have been trying to contact company in Australia. They are not replying to my e mails. 500+ bucks wasted
What's going on with it? Did you try pairing the device to the remote? Sometimes it can lose communication
I’ve had mine for about 2 years now and the motor is starting to completely malfunction. It barely turns right anymore, any turn it makes it sounds like a skin walker screaming. Worst purchase I’ve ever made. Don’t waste your money on this motor, save up your money as long as you can for a min kota.
2 years at a 1/4 of the price sounds good
@vaskodimoski5690 pretty much how I was thinking about it also. Let's be honest, nothing lives forever.
Ill it off ur hands sir
Whaaaaat?😂
beware , these trolling motors are garbage, remotes wear out quickly in less than 6 months, wire gets loose on the trolling motor as you turn it around, especially on the 24 volt model, save your money its junk
Had mine 4 years and the remote can be a bit finnicky at times but in still using the original, worst case scenario you buy a new remote your still way ahead money wise. Are they as good an ulterra, probably not. Are they a solid option that can save you hundreds, absolutely. In some ways I think they are better
