Watersnake Venom Trolling Motor with ESC Wireless Remote and Short Shaft Modifications
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- In this video, I illustrate the methods used to convert the standard 5F/3R speed selector on the Watersnake Venom 12V 34lb thrust trolling motor to a wireless remote ESC (Electronic Speed Control) mounted in the head unit. I also shortened the shaft to 27" for use with a kayak. I go into greater detail with the ESC programming and Wireless Controller, in addition to the Shortened Shaft in the related videos.

Great vid mate 🎉
Thanks Mark.
Great videos Sir. I'd love to see a video with a servo to control the steering on this
Thanks. Actually, one is coming out for sale soon. Not my design but it also has GPS lock.
@@Aksmaniyak I have seen the autoboat kit. Looks pretty cool but at $650 it's a little steep.
I agree.
Always informative videos. Thanks 👍
Thanks again!
Where can I purchase the remote?
@@michaelflores369 The parts are listed in the narrative.
Can it be left on a speed if I want to go a long distance or if trolling, with it on my pocket
@@paulcomins4012 Yes, there is a button you can press to set speed.
Great video as always. I am going to use your video this season to mount my trolling motor. Just curious about the hand held controls if they get wet what happens.
Thanks! Fortunately, I never dropped it in the water. I suppose you could put it in a baggie.
Love this. What's the best way to raise\lower the watersnake as well? It's got that weird push fitting to lock position. Raise lower vertically isn't an option as using steering cables. Hmm
Thanks. I have a video where I show how to disable a Motorguide push button mount that should work for a WS.
yesssssssss
Hey can I run these on separate trolling motors? I run dual watersnakes but I only want them to go forward and reverse since I steer with the rear rudder.
Yes. I have videos with dual Watersnake T24s and another with Dual MK 30lbers.
I noticed that there are more than one feature on your hand held remote speed controller. You've only used it for forward and backward thrust. Am wandering if there are other hand held controllers you can recommend with features which include only the on/off, forward and reverse variable thrust?
There may be but I didn't find any that would work the way I wanted it to.
Does the control box need holes for air so the esc can cool off?
No, it is mounted in the head where the stock switch would be. It is not airtight.
I have seen most of your ESC builds for different trolling motors; my question is have you used any of them with the LiFePO4 Battery 12V 100AH Lithium Battery? Thanks.
Yes, that is the battery I have now.
@@Aksmaniyak Thanks.
Thanks for your videos.
Do you re ommend this method over the pwm controller?
Glad to help. I would recommend the ESC over a PWM for 50lb thrust and less trolling motors.
@@Aksmaniyak Thanks 😊
Is it a hard job to do as I’m a 14 year kid and this would make my kayak fishing a lot easier or could i get someone to come to my house and do it
You might be able to find one already converted for sale.
Can this be done with a Haswing Protraur?
No. The Haswing already has a digital speed controller.
@@Aksmaniyak do you think it's possible to wire in a radio receiver either in line with or to replace the pot?
Not that I have found.
