Ronen, I purchased the knob from Radio Shack. I took the speed controller to the store to make sure it will fit properly. I think it's pretty standard knob so it should fit yours. Go to the their website and search for 274-407 Hexagonal Control Knob.
Thanks lowegy. Because of you and countless other RUclips yakers I decided to trick out my kayak for hands free fishing with a 30lb thrust Minn Kota trolling motor and start a channel. Yak up and go fishing!
*I bought this model for my 14 ft Jon boat. **enjoyable.fishing** recommend love it!!! It pushes my boat with ease ( 2 men 220 each). I would highly recommend this to anyone.*
Very nice! I've got the stuff to rig my kayak. Gave steering a lot of thought. Decided to hard mount the motor and use the paddle to steer with. May rething useing your system. Thanks for a great video. BTW....I think that old fat dude thought you were going to pot-lick him!
Good Job, Thanks! I'm wanting to relocate my variable speed control from my Minn Kota motor to the front of my kayak. Would you know of a variable control box, I can purchase? Mike
@cragcrawler, yes I pulled the throttle off the head, extended the cables and installed the electronics into a small waterproof pelican case. I also shorted the shaft, capped the top, and sealed the top with plastic heat shrink tube.
I'm looking to do a small lake kayak with a motor like this. How long with the power last? I will be using a heavy duty marine power source. I know it is hard to say but I have never used these motors before and I can only guess. I would like to be able to use it for 3-6 hours at a time. I only want it to go as fast as a person paddling goes. If need be I can hook up a solor panel to help charge as I go. Thanks for sharing this video.
Nice setup, rear mount is the only way togo, you look like you get good speed. One day I have to post my setup on youtube, I just made it look very clean.
thanks for the video, and thanks for sharing... Can you tell me abouth the lb power motor, and your battery system?, and how many time it can be used... thanks again...
Nice job! Very slick. Nice to know that a small motor is quite ample. How much does your motor weigh? I'm powering a boat I've designed but weight is critical.
put this on a 14ft jon boat to have a power motor on back to get me up and down the reservoir.this thing will move you along like a pro. for the the price it is unbeatable. i gonna replace the front motor with a 55 and should be flying down the reservoir.
i have a prowler 11. think i could pimp it out so to speak with a motor / if so how much u think it would run me? any info would be much appreciated :)
where do you get the aluminum plate for the motor mount? Where do you get the foot control rudder clips? not many people know how to mount trolling motors on kayaks. too bad there is not a motor mount made for them. I can't find one anyway.
+Skysurfer It depends on battery Amp Hour rating, size of motor, and run speed. The larger the motor and faster the speed, the more amps it uses. Typically, under "normal" usage, I get about 10-12 mi range and the runtime is about 7-8 hours, however, this is using a very large 120 Ahr battery.
Have you considered making a kit available to the public? If you are interested, I am interested in marketing it. We have the resources needed. Please contact Mark at Been There Caught That in Santa Maria, California
Congrats on your pimp-up kayak. Very nicely done with the foot steering control.
Good to hear from you Rudy. I enjoy your videos too. Next time I'm in San Fran, I will look you up.
ROFL... great setup... I like the beer can with the "safety" koozie at about 4:45... but EXCELLENT setup!

Hey do you have to register your kayak because of having trolling motor? I'm thinking about putting one on mine too. I'm in California.
*I bought this model for my 14 ft Jon boat. **enjoyable.fishing** recommend love it!!! It pushes my boat with ease ( 2 men 220 each). I would highly recommend this to anyone.*
nice job I really like the way you did the steering
make sure to check state regulations, if you have a motorized boat it has to be registered. that usually includes trolling motors
Texas is one of them.

Well done on your mountink. I has give mean ID how to mount one on my kayak. best of luck with your fishing.

What a guy! Thinking outside of the box, very neat!
Nice setup, rear mount is the only way togo, you look like you get good speed. One day I have to post my setup on youtube, I just made it look very clean.
Thanks for posting! I have a jackson coosa that I am considering motorizing. Would you do anything differently if you had it to do over? Thanks!
Awesome video! Did you redo any of the wiring or just extend the existing wiring?
Great work. Love the foot controls.
@Kevinthekiller82, with 120amp hr battery, runtime is about 5-8 hrs depending on speed and use.
Hello,
What did you use for the controlling of forward reverse speed? Didnt see that on the parts list.
Thanks,
Dan
Very Nice! How long did it take to complete the process? I may attempt to modify my trolling motor after watching your video. Big Thanks!
Lowegy,
Where did you get the plate you need to mount onto the canoe so you can mount the motor?
Great work. What is the run time?
Amazing set up awesome work and a piece of art
GGGGGGGreat job buddy I want to put one on mine ,
I hope I get a good (( TAX RETURN )) this year : )
Thanks for that nice video see you on the water.
Do you get problems from the marine sherriffs or coast guard? Do they still consider it a "powerless" vessel?. Great vid BTW
thanks for the video, and thanks for sharing... Can you tell me abouth the lb power motor, and your battery system?, and how many time it can be used... thanks again...
@deputy 1040, thanks and good luck with your setup.
Did you just pull the head and handle off and wire to a control box?
Nice job! Very slick. Nice to know that a small motor is quite ample. How much does your motor weigh? I'm powering a boat I've designed but weight is critical.
nice bit of work ,looks well . have fun.
@Chris, I built it from scape aluminum I purchased from a metal recycling yard.
Hey great work. Are you fishing in salt water? Wouldn't that ruin your motor
starting to see lots of motors now... saw 2 dudes with 2hp outboards on hobie pa's last summer... great rigging...
What did you use to make that bracket for the motor??
Nice setup .Thanks for sharing !
very good job..catch and relase.is very good..thank you for share with us.
put this on a 14ft jon boat to have a power motor on back to get me up and down the reservoir.this thing will move you along like a pro. for the the price it is unbeatable. i gonna replace the front motor with a 55 and should be flying down the reservoir.
ey friend have a question to put a motor trolling to a kayak do not need some kind of lincense
i have a prowler 11. think i could pimp it out so to speak with a motor / if so how much u think it would run me? any info would be much appreciated :)
where do you get the aluminum plate for the motor mount? Where do you get the foot control rudder clips? not many people know how to mount trolling motors on kayaks. too bad there is not a motor mount made for them. I can't find one anyway.
I purchased the plates from metal scrap yard and custom built it. The ruddier clips, which allows for length adjustments, was purchased from Walmart.
What battery are you using?
San Luis Pass?
Nice setup you have
lynnhaven inlet?
Where is this at
How do you raise and lower your TM in shallow water?
+Charlie B it's done manually. In shallow waters, step out and adjust.
The electric box to turn the motor on were did you get it ? And Do you have a video how to replace to switching controller ?
how fast could you go with this motor?
Proably around 2-7 mph depending on conditions, have one similar to this.
How fast do u go
+MrCrazyT513 about 5-6mph at full throttle.
U got any motors for sale???
I m working on my kayak too , the trolling engine is 30lb , how is the top speed on yours , did you check by GPS or so ?
thank you. my Prowler is about to get 'pimped'
Range? Thanks for sharing.
+Skysurfer It depends on battery Amp Hour rating, size of motor, and run speed. The larger the motor and faster the speed, the more amps it uses. Typically, under "normal" usage, I get about 10-12 mi range and the runtime is about 7-8 hours, however, this is using a very large 120 Ahr battery.
Great home engineering!
brilliant
Nice
Great Vid , thnx!

Dude, if you're going to release the fish, please don't put your fingers in their gills, they won't survive!
