*Great little trolling motor **enjoyable.fishing** recommend had it hooked up to my 15 foot old town canoe and it pushed it pretty good with me and my son (220 pounds each).*
In all trolling motors, Minn Kota, Motorcraft and Newport usually the switches in the throttle die by burnt contacts, usually at the ground. I always have a 40 amp breaker/harness available, just in case I'm stuck in the water. ON/OFF....wheee, takes off 100% FAST. I have purchased 5 PVMs (run 12v to 48v), cheap Chinese ones around $15 ea. Cheaper than Minn Kota replacing switches $25 ea. I took off the plastic head, cut the shafts down to 20", made nice teak cap/tillers. Made good soldering connections in the 2 wires in the cavity in the tillers, so the connection is immobile of any stress or movement. I'm interested to put a heat-sink at ground to dissipate heat. The PWM is inside my epoxy covered seat/battery with controls on the box. Used everyday. A 9 ft dinghy berthed next to my sailboat with quick-connect with an AC charger in a 20' cable inside the big boat to the battery port. I also i have charged from the solar panel. I've use it in every kind of rainy weather seems to work. I may sacrifice a 12v motor for the 24v for the test. Heat is the big problem to be solved. There's plenty of water-pump controllers and fans available products.
If u was to run it through a pwm speed controller u would have better speed control and longer battery life. U can get them cheap on eBay up to 100amp. but I think a 60amp one would work ok for u. If it does get a bit hot put a small fan on it and it will be fine. I run the same setup on my 56lb thrust motor and it runs great for hours on my homemade batteries If u need more information on how to wire it up just drop me a line and I’ll send u a wiring drawings
Sailboat how many amps is constant current your controller?also i am ready tomorrow to make the changes to my trolling,do you have any problems and for long did you get it on 100% speed? Sorry for my english i am from Greece.
I want to get an 88lb thrust 24v motor. The issue is I've seen them run on RUclips and their lowest setting is too fast. But i do want to be able to use the fastest speed when fighting the tide. So what i was thinking is have two 12v in parallel for normal use and then when i need to go against the tide, I'll put it in series to get the full thrust. But it sounds like what you're saying is there some sort of control i can put been the battery and the motor?
Propeller is cavitating in the water it cant push anymore because of the propeller pitch angle. You be better off getting a different propeller. Even then the most you will get is about 5 out of it with it over volt like that and a better propeller. I did same thing to mine but I'm running 18 volts. Tt 18 volts and a good propeller I get about 5. That's on a 12 ft johnboat. only way your getting more speed is a bigger motor with more thrust. my cousin has a 125lb thrust on his 12 ft rowboat he gets almost 8.
hello good afternoon, this engine that you put in the boat is 12v, how long in hours you put it to work, I have a 12v engine and I'm concerned with putting it on and 24v and burning or shorting.
If your motor is rated 12 volts 300 watts, that is 25 amps. If you keep the amps at around 25 the motor should be ok, speeds 1,2, and 3. Speeds 4 and 5 could overheat the motor.
It's actually 340W motor so around 28A max. For amps 1-3 speeds are ok but if you calculate the watts - only first speed is safe :) 2nd is already 360W(15Ax24V) But I don't worry about that, it's so fun to play :D
Pauli Juppi hey could you give me some advice. How long did it take for the motor to stop working. Also if I double the voltage and keep the amp the same on my trolling motor. Can I run it at full speed. Thanks in advance
I think it could be done, but only with a smaller prop that will result in the same current draw. Twice the voltage with the same current will double the power without overloading the motor.
what thrust is the outboard rated at? am I correct in spotting 28lb written on top? that's only 12kg so I think it certainly wouldn't have pushed that boat at over 3 knots with only 12v
Dont do it buddy. The windings in the motor will melt the enamel coating off in no time and they'll burn.. it'll haul ass for about ten min or so and then toast
It depends on the motor used, you have to open it up and get the parts number off the actual motor. Many things use "lego" parts off the shelf that can handle wide voltages with no issue. It's a risk to just do it without checking, if its a 12v only then the melting occurs as the above person mentioned. The other thing to consider is the electronic controller capable of handling the higher voltage, this is less of an issue as a small step down converter could be installed for very little its just something to check. They are frequently off the shelf "lego" parts same as the motor so frequently the voltage is also not a issue.
Hade nog bytt plats på plus och minus, känns lite nära batteriet med plussen. Better with minus/negativ right beside the batteri instead of the posetiv 😉
im not too sure what he's using but i myself would reccomend finding some Tesla modules, you can find them for around $1200, they weight around 30kg's each but have a capacity of just over 6kwh each @ 22v. so two in series would give you a fairly decent 44v 12kwh setup.. they are smaller than you think too. just be sure to find a BMS that will work with them correctly
Telsa cars have done over 500,000 miles while still holding over 80% capacity.. so if used in an electric sailboat they will have a very easy life compared to being used in a car. meaning you should see at least 15 years of good use out of them at minimum if stored and looked after correctly

What's the update? Did the motor melt or is it still going?
Come on Pauli... More videos fella 😜 need updates on the motors and the sailing. How's tricks ??

Hey Pauli, we haven't heard from you for a while, is everything ok?
But would it work with a Liíon 6v 90ah?
hi may I ask can I put a 12v 34lbs motor on 24volt battery ? thx

Thanks, I back now :)
How many hours can you drive
Should I be worried?

Trail of smokey bubbles will let you know
Fun stuff.
Just get a 24v to 12v step down converter.
A step down wouldn’t work it just can’t work at them kind of high amp loads ur be lucky if u can get over 20amps.

So how come he didn't give maximum safe speed in the end ? Just tech mumbo jumbo
