Good point on vibration, Minn Kota needs test them better and QC, they used to be the best, hope they dont loose that sentiment from old loyal fans? I had an old 32 lb, beat it for years, never failed, I gave it to poor guy, was paddling, he loved it, he prob atill has it lol
@@Ibian666 I know how to divvy it up, but unfortunately I don't know the wattage or current draw on this motor, just that it runs on a 12v battery. From what I've heard it seems that trolling motors have about a 2 hour run time with a 100 amp-hour battery, meaning a current draw of 50 amps. But I was just curious about this motor specifically.
I have a 55lb bow mount. With a good size24 battery, I'm good for a full day of fishing. I think if you did multi day trips you'd need to charge it. It all depends on how fast you run it.
Would you say this rolling motor would be simple enough to install and uninstall often? I want to use one on the job boats I can rent instead of hauling the boat sometimes
Yes Dale, they do come with a shear pin. I did a conversion on mine changing the lock nut that holds on the prop with a kit that has a wing nut for easy shear pin changes out on the water. Switched mine after finding out the hard way.
@@bluecollaroutdoors5556 thank you buddy, i will get a kit too, store in my tackle box, I bought a 12 foot Mastercraft Jon HDPE, my first plastic boat, came with a Traxxas Minn Kota 55 lb, im old now, dont want to lug heavy shit, and less maintenance to do, i bought a new 30 lb for the wife, up front, so she can try out steer me lol, long as I can out thrust her i win, hope it works out for us, the wieght factor, shallow draft sold me 👍, New sub, for responding to your peeps, TY again

The MAX also has a Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) built into the unit which helps with increasing efficiency
I made an extension for my Minnkota for less than 10 bucks, Easy pop on, and pop off. RUclips would allow somebody to post a picture of their build.
How long does that 12v battery last on a single charge? I'm curious how power-hungry the motor is.
You can calculate that. The motor has whatever max wattage, your battery has whatever capacity, divvy it up.

I have an Intex 40 pound trolling motor with a 36 inch shaft and there’s no vibration at any speed
Great review!
Great review sr. Keep them coming
Thanks for the video . Good Job
What type of boat you got ?
How long does a single battery charge last?
Beautiful place to fish
Would you say this rolling motor would be simple enough to install and uninstall often? I want to use one on the job boats I can rent instead of hauling the boat sometimes
Yes super easy to install each trip, moving a battery around with it is the hardest part if you are going to be using a full size battery.
Do these motors brand new, from factory have a sheer pin?
Yes Dale, they do come with a shear pin. I did a conversion on mine changing the lock nut that holds on the prop with a kit that has a wing nut for easy shear pin changes out on the water. Switched mine after finding out the hard way.

The movie 3
Why is his motor baxkwards
It is a transom to bow mount conversion. You can flip the head of the unit around based on where you want to run the motor.
@@bluecollaroutdoors5556 oh thank God ... I thought I was going crazy
