You can put that heading-sensor in the cabin somewhere! It is Bluetooth! Mine is under the helm in a center Console. Buy a spare prop. Great job on solid install.
That came out great cap! Love how you can steer it remotely from the pilot house ot just chill out on the deck and steer it too. It moves that heavy boat real good. Now you can get into protected areas where no gas motors are allowed. Awesome video!
That's Awesome ! And that's crazy how fast that little motor moves your boat! I don't know if you can but look into putting a lanyard or some kind of floating device on that remote. I promise you if it was mine it would eventually get dropped and kicked overboard! LOL🤣 Thanks for sharing!⚓😎👍
That's a fantastic installation. Very professional. You're going to absolutely love that i-pilot for countless situations. Wreck fishing will be fun to watch. Thanks for sharing 👍👍
Now you have a”KICKER” motor in case you have a break down at Sea Capt.😀--I can see you crossing the Gulfstream with that thing...maybe set up some solar panels on the hard top to keep all those batteries charged up 😉--just kidding my friend,this is awesome.As always you did a good job man👍🏻⚓️👍🏻
The external bluetooth antenna is a secondary antenna for the motor. The 1st couple yrs the Ipilots came out they only had the antenna reciever in the motor head only. What would happen in currents on spot lock, the boat could spin and as long as the bow stayed in the same position it thought everything was fine. They added the 2nd antenna so it would know the boats orientation. So the 2nd antenna HAS to be mounted rearward of the boat. I always install them at the transom area. But on the hardtop you tested will work fine.
Those weeds won’t hurt the motor it’s when there on surface like sargassum sea weed building in front of motor when going through a weed patch. Good job on the trolling motor JT 🇺🇸🇺🇸🐠🐟🎣🛥🌴⛱😊😊🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Nice job, glad it worked well, nice setup! We have a shallow lake nearby that has that same aquatic weed. Late summer the lake is unusable. Terrible weed.
Muy bueno para mantener el punto de pesca sin perderlo para pescar con baras eléctricas a 60 y 80 metros dónde el ancla no baja muy bueno buena pesca Capi 👍 🇩🇴 un saludaso 👍🇩🇴🐬🦈🐟👍
My dad just bought a parker 21. Same as yours just without the cabin doorway. He loves it - his only complaint is the lack of steering stability at low speeds. It tends to wander around a lot. Do you have this same issue with yours?
Congratulations, captain for your father.And what I did to mine?Is that I changed my steering wheel to a smaller with a small swivel?So it's easier to maneuver and it helps a lot
Yes that's the plan captain now the ocean is it easier way to fish without worrying about getting stuck or not getting the spot right Soon I'll go fishing to the deep sea and see how it performs captain
Look into the Powerpole charge. I just installed it. No more need to plug in charger. Keeps all batteries on boat topped off. Even integrates into the simrad.
Hola Out On the Reef. He visto un par de vídeos tuyos y he decirte que son muy instructivos.... Enhorabuena!!!.

Good job on that install captain, I need to look at that for my Cobia 240 CC. Also couldn’t agree with you more, about the hydrilla . Harris Chain of Lakes is the same way.
i will take over the lakes soon is very sad us boaters, and yes you may be able to install one on your boat, go to the minn kotta website to see the specs, my boat weights about 4700 lb loaded and it works great
You have probably answered this question however I wanted to confirm why you went with copper wire in the component list? I have had to do a total rewire on my boat because the copper automotive wire got severely corroded and caused lots of issues. In the end it all got replaced with tinned coated wire. I imagine with quality glue heat shrink and dielectric grease you can minimise the corrosion?!
Yes Captain there's no way salt water or moisture is going to get on that wire and the battery compartment is water sealed nothing is going to go there so I figured they wouldn't be a problem not like connecting it to the battery of the boat where water moisture goes this is totally different storage
Cap!, i have the same motor on the way and I think I am going to mount it just like you did. Did you ever run into any annoying steering issues being mounted off center that far? I think mine will be about 2 feet from the center line.
Game changer on deep reefs or to save Coral damage and you won't get snagged on the structure. Up here from the end of Sept we fish black fish you have to stay right on top of them it will eliminate two anchors NICE
That’s the same thing I did with my sensor. Just an FYI if your minn Kota starts doing crazy side to side actions when offshore turn off your heading sensor. It will run fine with spot lock just no jog feature. Mine got so bad it would go hard port then hard starboard. In rough seas that will crack your shaft. Trust me I’ve had my shaft replaced because of the bad sensor. Overall best money and game changer when bottom fishing. Most people will not even try to fish a wreck when they see you have one.
Wow captain that is awesome information thank you in one question if you turn the heading sensor off. Left right would stop? Because I'm seeing that on my Minn Kota when I went to the Sea and it was 2 to 3 ft shop
@@OutOnTheReef just turn power off on the sensor and it stops the crazy side to side action immediately. I was out with my boys in some pretty rough weather and it started going port to starboard 0-10 and back again. It’s like it was fighting to keep the boat in a 1 ft space. It was so violent it cracked the shaft. The dealer told me after they replace my shaft to unplug the sensor and if it stops the sensor is bad. Both you and I have our minn Kota somewhat permanent mounted. So I was a little upset to have to in mount it and send it in. Still worth it when not having to anchor in 400ft of water. Since that I don’t use the sensor. Don’t really use the jog feature. I just move around the wreck manually and the spot lock. Enjoy it my friend.
@@thephenicies9999 that's awesome I have a toggle switch that I'm going to install a mine thank you so much for the heads up because I went fishing and I noticed that you think my heading sensor is bad or it's just the way it is should I get a replace even though I'm going to put the switch because it's a great idea
I see a big market for these motors for the NE saltwater coastal fishing folks for bottom fishing, instead of anchoring over a good bottom patch or wreck, may need two anchors to hold the boat instead. Then to move, have to retrieve. There may even be more manufacturers coming in.
Now that you have had the trolling motor for a couple years have you had any issues with the prop coming out of the water while maintaining station while fishing ?
No that doesn't happen only in very rough seas now the problem that I've been having is the Spring loaded support audit support has come off twice so I'd just decided not to use it anymore so I took it out that's the only problem I had with it
@@OutOnTheReef thanks for quick reply. I may go up one size for my 23’ Steiger DV Miami but need to some measuring first. Thanks again. Really enjoy your videos.
Wow nice. Really like it. Going to look in to this. Thanks. God bless, be safe. When is your next trip to Bimini. Would like to take a trip out there but never been that far out.
Thanks captain and this is an awesome tool to have on your boat just got to make sure it can handle the weight of your boat and I have not been to be mesa's Bimini's been very strict with the Coronavirus it's been a long time haven't been back

That’s great for fishing when your out at sea. Can you integrate that with your auto pilot as well to keep you in one spot? Thanks captain Great job brother Navigate safe
It's only integrated with hummingbirds chartplotters those are the only units that you can pair them because it's from the same company. Thanks for watching buddy and goodnight Will👋
Looks like it’s working in that spot If I can mount it I will put my windless back on cuz when it gets ruff I had my motor come out of the water with the shaft all the way down
@@OutOnTheReef I can tell you take safety seriously and genuinely I wasn't suggesting you were taking any chances. I am impressed with the Minn Kota. It would almost work as a get you home engine should your Yamaha let you down. You can see in the video too that the new battery weight has changed the attitude of the boat. I live in Ireland and I have a similar boat but a little smaller. I run a 90hp two stroke Yamaha. Fuel prices are crazy here. Anyway keep the vlogs coming and Navigate Safe. Sean
@@phdconstructioncork thanks Sean for being an awesome you were my channel and stay warm up there Captain I know it's very cold soon. Navigate safe 👍👍🏝
@@happyfish9803 definitely the biggest motor which is the 112 thrust and is a 36v 72 shaft is the exact one that I have is what you need for your boat captain if is similar to mine
Are you going to put any type of solar to keep those batteries charged on you r trips to the Bahamas? if you use it to lock like that then it will run those batteries down pretty quickly.
@@OutOnTheReef I have run my mine literally all day and night and not run my batteries down. Right now I fish the Ohio river below the locks and I have been on spot lock in a 2.5 to 4 kt currents for 6 to 8 hours at a time and never lose battery power.
Thank you for watching and I hope it works for you make sure the weight of your boat comes in the specs of the Minn Kota and you should be fine and if you do I advise you to get more battery power since your boat is bigger
It will work, but consider upgrading to the Ulterra 112/72. It have deploy and stow and better GPS. I have a Humminbird Solix and they can be controlled from the fish finder too. Riptide if you're Salty!
Great video Capitán! What is the actual overall weight of your boat, gear and fuel? Do you feel you could have done a 24v instead of the 36v? (I guess you can answer that better after your sea trial) I am undecided between a 24v with 170 amp batteries OR the 36v with 120 amp batteries. Battery space restrictions is my problem. Trying to find that balance between weight, thrust and power consumption with the room that I have. Thank you for all these videos.
@@OutOnTheReef Thank you! May I suggest now a solar battery charger to keep your batteries toped off especially with all the long trips and overnight adventures you are on.
@@Boat_FishingDoduJeju the calibration on the heading sensor is very simple all you have to do is connected to the Bluetooth of the system and pointed for that is all
All that lake overgrowth is caused by fertilizer runoff. Biscayne bay has finally caused government to pay attention, due to all the fish dying over the past few months. Nice work on that install Capt.!
@@OutOnTheReef Great Lake for for bass fishing!! I was out in that area last weekend for my boys football game. Keep up the good work, looking forward to more videos.
Keep your eye on the coiled wire beneath the Minn Kota head. On spot lock sometimes mine isn’t smart enough to unwind itself and you look at it and it’s wound the wire three times around the shaft. This could rip the wire out of the head. Maybe yours is smarter than mine is. I have the Terrova i-pilot 2 years old.
You should remember to list the riptide in each one of your Minn Kota videos. Would you rather have somebody buy a stainless steel washer through your link or a riptide?
@@OutOnTheReef Just list which ever model they have thats closest. As long as they use your link, it helps you out towards gas and accessories and its our way of thanking you for being able to watch all your great vids. People don't have to buy the exact same model. Some like me, only need the Terrova model for fresh water use. The white ones are for salt water use.
@@pstone7657 you are so right Captain thank you so much I went back to Amazon and I found one that is exactly the same just difrent remote. I'm going to have to make you my manager LOL Thanks again Captain you're awesome
NOOOOO!!!!!! Don't drill!!! Clean w/Acetone & mount with HD double-sided Gorilla mounting tape. It's so strong you need a blade to cut it off, you can move if needed, and no holes in your boat. All I have used for years. Awesome stuff. Probably too late for you, but maybe I can save someone else from drilling holes in their boat.
If you really want your trolling motor to perform, have better control in wind, and use less battery power, get a Kipawa propeller. I have been running them for 5 years now with no issues. I will not run a trolling motor without this propeller now. I am not sponsored by this company. They simply have a great product, and I have used it in rivers, sounds, and in the ocean. I have the exact same trolling motor you just installed, and it runs awesome with the Kipawa propeller. www.kipawapropellers.com/store/p13/Kipawa_112_fits_Minn_Kota_112_Pound_Thrust_Motors.html#/

It's only integrated with hummingbirds chartplotters those are the only units that you can pair them because it's from the same company.
Thanks for watching buddy and goodnight Will👋
K, thanks captain
Looks like it’s working in that spot If I can mount it I will put my windless back on cuz when it gets ruff I had my motor come out of the water with the shaft all the way down
What is your chaft length captain
Mine is 72
@@OutOnTheReef the same
@@fishydubsfishing6516 and is the bow of your boat taller than mine
@@OutOnTheReef think i was like 50 to 55 inch from bow to water line but im talking 3 to 5 ft or better seas
@@fishydubsfishing6516 well captain that is awesome for your boat that you can do three to five feet👍👍
Does your kill switch gizmo pair with the Minn Kota too?
No it doesn't I'm not sure I need to find out but I always carry the Minn Kota remote with me when is moving for safety
I am going really slow so there shouldn't be a problem by falling into the water bike movement of the boat
@@OutOnTheReef I can tell you take safety seriously and genuinely I wasn't suggesting you were taking any chances. I am impressed with the Minn Kota. It would almost work as a get you home engine should your Yamaha let you down. You can see in the video too that the new battery weight has changed the attitude of the boat. I live in Ireland and I have a similar boat but a little smaller. I run a 90hp two stroke Yamaha. Fuel prices are crazy here. Anyway keep the vlogs coming and Navigate Safe. Sean
@@phdconstructioncork thanks Sean for being an awesome you were my channel and stay warm up there Captain I know it's very cold soon.
Navigate safe 👍👍🏝
Here we go Captain let’s go 🎣
I am on my way angel very soon😁👍
😁 great piece of kit 👍🏻 👍🏻
Thanks 👍cap.
When do you install solar panels?
i don't have room for it so generator is the best way to go now cap
@@OutOnTheReef You have room on either side of your radar for (2) 100 watt flex panels! (47" by 22")
and not a Cap yet...still a Petty Officer 1st Class USNR!...lol
Hay capt what spot lock would you recommend in terms of a good price range
i paid for mine $2299. plus $900 on batteries charger and plates and bolts
how big is your boat and weight cap?
It’s a 23 foot Parker not super sure on weight
@@happyfish9803 definitely the biggest motor which is the 112 thrust and is a 36v 72 shaft is the exact one that I have is what you need for your boat captain if is similar to mine
@@happyfish9803 go to MinnKota.com and check out the specs for the weight
How many feet is this boat ?
Is 21 feet
Curious captain, why did U choose MK over Rhodan?
I never heard of that brand I have only heard about Minn Kota and another brand but not that one why is it better
awesome video 😀👍👍
Thank you for watching 👍👍🏝
Are you going to put any type of solar to keep those batteries charged on you r trips to the Bahamas? if you use it to lock like that then it will run those batteries down pretty quickly.
He put an alternator so the motor charges the trolling motor the GPS on top does not use any charge at all just about
That's why I have my generator it gives me plenty of power for my air conditioner and charging batteries
@@natehowell793 I have my generator so that's why I have no problems with power charging
@@OutOnTheReef I have run my mine literally all day and night and not run my batteries down. Right now I fish the Ohio river below the locks and I have been on spot lock in a 2.5 to 4 kt currents for 6 to 8 hours at a time and never lose battery power.
@@jimbruce9744 whow thats awesome use of your batterys cap.
Thanks for sharing your results cap.
Omg that was awesome, I’m thinking of getting one of those, just not sure if it will work on our mako 26!! You are the best!! Lyuber
Thank you for watching and I hope it works for you make sure the weight of your boat comes in the specs of the Minn Kota and you should be fine and if you do I advise you to get more battery power since your boat is bigger
It will work, but consider upgrading to the Ulterra 112/72. It have deploy and stow and better GPS. I have a Humminbird Solix and they can be controlled from the fish finder too. Riptide if you're Salty!
I have the same
One on my 252. I did lithium batteries. Holds great, even in 1-2 seas
@@LutzCnC yes it's awesome I even seen them hold a boat in 4 ft Seas it's an awesome unit
you can use the minne kota in a movement with diferent boat near to The PilotHouse boat, in a pier, or where ever you need to move it , slowly !!!
yes is like a second motor that will move the boat at 3 to 4 MPH cap
Great video Capitán!
What is the actual overall weight of your boat, gear and fuel? Do you feel you could have done a 24v instead of the 36v? (I guess you can answer that better after your sea trial)
I am undecided between a 24v with 170 amp batteries OR the 36v with 120 amp batteries.
Battery space restrictions is my problem.
Trying to find that balance between weight, thrust and power consumption with the room that I have.
Thank you for all these videos.
my boat weight is 4600 lb loaded and for sure the 24 volts is not enough for this boat i can tell you that for sure.
what is your boat weight cap?
Thank for the answer Cap. Mine is just under the 4000 mark. Yes everything point to the 36v for my boat. I'll wait to see your sea trial.
@@jejoko I agree Captain without weight is similar to mine and this is the biggest motor they have I will keep you updated in the future trips👍👍
@@OutOnTheReef Thank you!
May I suggest now a solar battery charger to keep your batteries toped off especially with all the long trips and overnight adventures you are on.
@@jejoko thank you that is an awesome idea I really appreciate your suggestion captain👍👍🏝
Hi there.
Did you have a offset ? one more do thing.
I'm sorry Captain what was the question again
@@OutOnTheReef
after install a minkota.
first, heading sensor calibration and then set a offset.
@@Boat_FishingDoduJeju the calibration on the heading sensor is very simple all you have to do is connected to the Bluetooth of the system and pointed for that is all
@@OutOnTheReef after one more. it is a sensor offset.
that menu is below sensor cal menu.
if you do heading offset you experience more accurate.
@@Boat_FishingDoduJeju I'm not sure captain this is something that I probably have to look at
How big is your boat?
Is 21 feet cap
All that lake overgrowth is caused by fertilizer runoff. Biscayne bay has finally caused government to pay attention, due to all the fish dying over the past few months. Nice work on that install Capt.!
sad to hear Jason and thanks Cap. for watching my channel⚓👍
Where can I get a shirt like yours?
You can get it at Amazon just search for out on the reef or crooked apart a house And the shirt should appear
Thanks for your support
Captain, you can use ut as a bow thruster to dock better on Bimini so you do not need to use you Dingy
I don't know if it work for that but I will try to learn how to use it to dock the boat.
Great idea though
I recommend east toho there is no grass and it is close to west toho
Very true cap is just farther for me
What lake are you at?
tohokapila in Kissimmee Fl
@@OutOnTheReef Great Lake for for bass fishing!! I was out in that area last weekend for my boys football game. Keep up the good work, looking forward to more videos.
@@knotflexin7669 thanks buddy I really appreciate you watching my channel and also visit us again here even though the lake is not that great LOL
Keep your eye on the coiled wire beneath the Minn Kota head. On spot lock sometimes mine isn’t smart enough to unwind itself and you look at it and it’s wound the wire three times around the shaft.
This could rip the wire out of the head. Maybe yours is smarter than mine is. I have the Terrova i-pilot 2 years old.
Wow that's great to know Captain I will keep my eye on it thank you for the heads up you're awesome👍👍
You should remember to list the riptide in each one of your Minn Kota videos. Would you rather have somebody buy a stainless steel washer through your link or a riptide?
The only thing is Amazon don't have the exact same model that's why i don't list it cap.
@@OutOnTheReef Just list which ever model they have thats closest. As long as they use your link, it helps you out towards gas and accessories and its our way of thanking you for being able to watch all your great vids. People don't have to buy the exact same model. Some like me, only need the Terrova model for fresh water use. The white ones are for salt water use.
@@pstone7657 you are so right Captain thank you so much I went back to Amazon and I found one that is exactly the same just difrent remote.
I'm going to have to make you my manager LOL
Thanks again Captain you're awesome
what is te boat name
Is a crooked pilothouse only one Built This Way captain
Wow capt im trying to make up some money for one
little by little cap save up so you can get one, is awesome unit
Now you know there's a lot of nats when they show up on camera
don't get it cap ,elaborate best
The bugs at the 11:30 mark normally you can't see them in the camera unless there's a lot of them around.
@@pjboudwin2730 yes PJ there are millions of them and they jump on the boat fast they are annoying cap.
NOOOOO!!!!!! Don't drill!!! Clean w/Acetone & mount with HD double-sided Gorilla mounting tape. It's so strong you need a blade to cut it off, you can move if needed, and no holes in your boat. All I have used for years. Awesome stuff. Probably too late for you, but maybe I can save someone else from drilling holes in their boat.
LOL I know what you're saying captain thanks for the great suggestion😂👍👍
Gators no thanks give me that Atlantic Ocean
LOL I feel the same way Morris
Your line is dragging in the water !
lol i saw that later , thanks cap for the heads up👍👍😀
If you really want your trolling motor to perform, have better control in wind, and use less battery power, get a Kipawa propeller. I have been running them for 5 years now with no issues. I will not run a trolling motor without this propeller now. I am not sponsored by this company. They simply have a great product, and I have used it in rivers, sounds, and in the ocean. I have the exact same trolling motor you just installed, and it runs awesome with the Kipawa propeller. www.kipawapropellers.com/store/p13/Kipawa_112_fits_Minn_Kota_112_Pound_Thrust_Motors.html#/
Thanks Captain for sending me the link I will look into it.
And thank you for sharing your experience with that type of propeller👍
What’s with the face covering in all your videos?
i always done that cap you must be new to the channel , welcome
@@OutOnTheReef all good man, not asking how long you’ve been doing it just asking why. ✌️
@@igloo211 i like to have my privacy that's all cap😉😉👍👍
