Needed this thank you! Came across the exact issues you’re mentioning in the video with my AutoBoat. Hoping to it get corrected next time I get out on the water. I really do appreciate your guy’s customer service for making this video and emailing me about it.
This is the detail that's needed for this product! Great job!
Thanks! It took forever to make the video so I hope it helps everyone as best as possible
Just a small correction on the "10%" speed increments, the app readouts are as follows:
0, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100. Having fun with mine!
I discovered this product last week on youtube and im very excited.
I hunt crappie and the lake i troll has a ton of trees and brush and i need this in my life.
I have a 12' sundolphin american 12 which is a plastic boat.
Thght lines, Ed
Great video on AutoBoat GPS motor system.
Thanks! 👍
Waiting on mine. Just ordered yesterday. 😊
Where do you order this from?
Did you get it? If so how is it?
Este é um dos melhores que fabricam, confiável, valor justo, está sendo muito usado aqui no Brasil.
Questions about tracking, once you mark a manual track to follow how do you adjust or modify the speed or anchor? And if you anchor while tracking how do you stop anchor and continue your track? Thanks!
Looks like a great product!!!
I’m having an issue when having the trolling motor follow a track. After starting a track if I minimize the app or lock my phone screen the trolling motor goes to speed 0 and I have to use the remote to turn the speed back up. It gets pretty annoying when I’m trying to check the map to see where at in a track I am. Any fix for this? Seems like a bug in the software
Please add a tutorial on setting up autoboat on a stern mounted trolling motor. Your tutorial is based on a bow mounted motor. Very different experience.
Thanks for the tutorial. Is there a video on how Justin mounted the trolling motor onto his inflatable kayak/SUP? Thanks.
Just got one from you and I love it. I have a question. If I put it on the rear of the kayak and put it in reverse instead of Speed 5 would that give you the Navigation. Weird question but trying to get ready for a kayak tournament at Guntersville and my kayak has the mounting in the rear for a motor but not the front.
I used my finger to draw the line to the spot but what is the next step? I don’t know how to make my autoboat to start and follow my draw map. Can you make another tutorial to show us?
Thanka
can you show a video of how you shortened the throttle handle?
My phone app does not allow for any manual control. Not speed nor turning. It will anchor and cruise but that's it. Android pixel 8s
Pixel 8 Pro and same.
can i still use my pedal then use the remote to gps spot lock feature? do i lose the option of my pedal in order to use the GPS autoboat?
So I have a 45 thrust edge on a 175 tf bass tracker, do you think this will work on it?
what is the power consumption of the unit? thank you
What wire gauge is the main cables that goes to the battery?
Hey! What about the Newport VS series 62lb?
Do you have to press a button to activate your new manual track? What do you do to get it to follow your manual track????
May I know how many amp the system uses?
Got mine installed. Question how do i go in reverse. Fyi mine is mounted on the stern/rear
Could the spot lock work if the motor is installed at a hobie kayak drive place ?
Any tutorials on bow mount pulley lift?
very dissapointed with tutorials,spotlock is easy, but what does cruise do and explain how the stay on heading works, I need more explanation on plotting tracks and fishing spots,like how toerase previous tracks and start over.
I agree we need a tutorial for the advanced features. TBN mentioned in the comments here that this video took a long time to make so im sure another one for the advanced features doesnt sound fun to make for TBN. However if they really want to show off the cool stuff that autoboat can do i feel like a video needs to be done and it will be worth the effort and im sure it will help sell more autoboat units.
Just ordered mine. What battery is recommended? How many AH’s?
Sorry. I did find a brief comment about rear mounted motor. Needs more detail
WILL THIS WORK ON AN 80LB THRUST TROLLING MOTOR?
Thanks for this detailed video. What motor is on the Vibe Inflatable? Or which motor(s) fits in Mirage drive?
The motor on the Vibe Inflatable Uptown is the same motor I use in most of my videos. It is the Minn Kota Riptide 45lb thrust 5 speed motor with AutoBoat kit installed. That day all Vibe on water footage was shot in 19mph sustained winds and 31mph gusts. Also was a slight incoming tide.
@@KayakDIY Thank you, Justin
It was a Minnkota riptide 30 pound thrust
Newport 55 pound does not fit in mirage drive. Search continues.
Do you have to disconnect it from the battery after every trip? Or will the unit shut off and stop drawing power? Mine arrives tomorrow. My trolling motor already has its own breaker as well
The GPS unit continues to draw power (LED flashes). Therefore, disconnecting the yellow connector is required. I have to remove the battery/blackbox assy from the kayak to charge the battery so, that takes of that. I store the trolling motor/ GPS unit in my SUV when not in use. Not mentioned in the video but, a 60 amp breaker was recommended by Autoboat to be placed inline the red black box battery cable (consult with Autoboat).
What has to be done for this to work with a minn kota endura? Something on the site saying wire has to be modded
there is a video somewhere showing how to do the mod. it didnt look to difficult
I'd Love one shipping to Ireland very pricey other than that I'd have one🎣✌️
Email us at contact@tbnation.net. We have to do special pricing and procedures for out of country shipments.
@@TBNationOutdoors just did
Is there going to be a 24V version coming out.
I have the same question if there is any update?
Will it work on 16ft john boat instead of smaller watercraft
It would probably work on a 16ft Jon boat that boat can be held well with the 55lb trolling motor. If a 55 pound motor seems too weak, then I would go to a 24 V from the other brands
So this autoboat can adapt to a 24 volt? @@TBNationOutdoors
Does the system go in reverse? Or do I need to turn the motor 180 degrees?
When you hit reverse the motor will spin 180°?
@@TexasPapa13 does not work. I have to turn until the motor is facing the opposite way and then increase speed.
@@YakBrothersFishing ahhhh. Good to know.
Flip it 180
Do you still need to add a breaker for the battery
I would always add a breaker. The box will auto shut off and exit its own breaker, but it’s always nice to have an additional breaker.
@@TBNationOutdoors great thanks. Will be ordering one soon.
