mud motor build

i live in a good spot to use one of these and really wanted a longshaft mud motor so when i got some time i decided to build one. i looked at lots of pictures, there wasent many videos to watch. it turned out really good except for the the motor is really heavy. i have it on a 10 foot long flat bottom boat, and it feels like it needs to be atleast a 12footer. if you have any questions feel free to ask ill answer them the best i can. thanks for watching hope it helps someone out.

From one country boy to another, outstanding work.

[@28cruzin]

Good job!!! You are an example of what is becomming rare, a young man willing to make something with what is available rather than whine to mommy and daddy for them to buy his new toy. Very creative! I beleive you will go a long way in this world. I have subscribed and am impatient for your next project.

Excellent job Justin, very thorough and well documented! With tools and intelligence pretty much anything is possible.

[@chrisbrangers9443]

You did a terrific job I appreciate showing the measurements at the end that was a terrific touch

Probablemente el mejor y detallado video de la fabricación que he visto de un Mud Motor.

[@JustinGoinsfixit]

Favio Ivan Garcia Rivera thanks

[@micahcollins1714]

How is it that you have every tool known to man in that shop?!?

[@tommak6516]

Instead of taking the crank out, can you just turn the shaft down while running the engine?

[@johntstanley1]

Best I've seen son.. I on my build soon now..

[@theluth9046]

Beautiful job! Thanks for sharing!

[@TheMechnicalOwl]

Awesome job, and how cool to make your own setup just how you wanted it.

[@calebchew838]

Creative. Nice job!

[@TexasCoastSportsman]

Great video! Do you recall where you bought the prop from? I'm looking for an affordable straight shaft not tapered shat prop.

[@TexasCoastSportsman]

Just spotted in the comment where you said it was a Backwater prop.

muy bien amigo saludos desde argentina

[@johnniecameron8829]

VERY COOL ,THANKS FOR A GREAT VIDEO

[@mikecustenborder3991]

Nice build. We tried a mud skipper motor. The shaft came off and fell to the bottom. They blamed it on us and blamed us for other problems. Build your own

[@zdove7319]

How did you do the bushing and grease fitting?

[@sameemkeelath2695]

How shaft are made

[@drdraws9597]

How did the bushing hold up in water?

[@riverlife3490]

[@1000186ful]

Oh one more thing where did you buy your lathe ?online ?

[@JustinGoinsfixit]

Found it on craigslist

[@joshuabrinson3376]

you should do a running video

[@huxmetalworks7371]

Thanks for your help I'll let you know how it goes

[@brendenohagan7296]

So how do you get the motor to turn? I didnt see how you did that

[@cdp50359]

Great build!

[@jacksonseale7191]

Can you explain why you think the boat needs to be a 12ft boat instead of 10ft?

[@JustinGoinsfixit]

To easy to accidentally get to much weight in the back of the boat and flip the 10 footer nose up to high, like take water in rear high. without some counterweight in front of the boat.

[@mitchandopolis2665]

Amazing! About how much in parts if you don't mind me asking?

[@JustinGoinsfixit]

not a lot the universal was bought in 3 pieces from tractor supply maby $50 somthing, and 12$ for the 3/4 rod and i cant remenber how much the 1" gas pipe was, and i think$150 for the backwater prop. and maby 16bucks for that carb off ebay. somewhere around 200 probably, maby little more. i should do a second part to this mud motor build i later lightend the motor almot 23lbs lighter i think its around 80lbs lbs now. and got a 6hp from harbor freight way, way better motor for the job. the 10 hp i was using was very heavy and throtle response was not good enough for me.

[@zachdinesen1250]

What size drive shaft did you use?

[@JustinGoinsfixit]

3/4"

[@oliverabrea5284]

very nice

[@jonathanholloway6795]

That is amazing man

[@chrisbeber9177]

How would you register that? Just curious?

[@tird108]

Looks like he lives in FL he got the rural King hood and all u do is register a boat here forget about the motor

[@huxmetalworks7371]

Great job new here do you offer plans?

[@JustinGoinsfixit]

HUX METAL WORKS no this video is the closest to plans i have.

[@huxmetalworks7371]

Justin Goins I understand thanks if you don't mind I have a couple of questions you may have answered them can you tell me how long your shaft and tube also what angle is your shaft thanks for sharing

[@JustinGoinsfixit]

HUX METAL WORKS I think the axle is 65 or 67 inches and the tube a few inches shorter. I think. I made it almost a strait shaft, but if I did it again I would have angled it a little,. To much and it will interfier with the sides of the boat while turning

[@pedropqdt6686]

Justin muuuuuiiito BOM VLW PELA AULA. ABS.

[@JustinGoinsfixit]

Thanks

[@danhmientay5845]

Good. Thank

[@walkertongdee]

universal joint not necessary

[@edgunde704]

Lovejoy coupler cuts down vibration and allows slight misalignment.
