- In this video I take an off the shelf boat motor. Cut it down to fit a Kayak using basic tools, then convert it to remote control. The boat motor was designed for a much larger boat but I put it on a kayak to increase the performance

The speed is insane on this! Still using the motor?
I still have the motor and the boat, but we stopped using it. Local officials have turned our favorite, and only island near us into a bird sanctuary. So we no longer have a destination to go to. I will try to get a new video up this summer when it warms up. Thanks for the interest!
I’m getting ready to test it on Tuesday. I believe I resolved the radio cutting out. I also have a crazy idea I want to introduce on how to make it a lot faster without changing the motor!
How did you get the steering to work so well!!!

I go over the steering and assembly in detail in this video. Its been a fun project. People look at me strange holding a remote on a kayak, but I have a good time.
How much v voltage does the battery use?
It uses two 3.7v 18650 lithium ion batteries. It’s about 7.4 volts.
What kind of motor was that

I believe mine was a little bigger. You can ask the manufacturer if the 7 hp one is still available
The motor I have is actually 3,000 watts which is 4 horsepower unlike the manufacturer claim of 7 horsepower. I requested there largest motor and 3,000 watt was the largest
SO how did you install a rc controller on a brushless motor accelerator?
A servo is twisting the hand throttle that came with the motor. I’m about to release a new video with a more detailed look at the electronics.
I actually seen something on a fishing boat, but the motor was on the front of the boat for going into lower water, + it's already has a bigger motor on the back, 2 men and the motor you are using pulled all that weight no problem...
Try hanging it from the front...
I believe it. It’s got tons of torque. It gets you up to speed in no time….I don’t have a bow mount on the kayak, but that’s a good suggestion
A bass boat, maybe????????
