Autoboat TESTED on MILHA LITE SKIFF ***** KAYAK!!! LOL - 13' ROTOMOLDED BOAT (affiliate link) geni.us/RJxam
Check out this unboxing, setup, first impressions, and real-world test of this incredibly smart AUTOBOAT GPS unit! Think of the potential! My fancy $1600 Minn Kota GPS motor broke, forcing me to shell out another $1600 for a replacement. With the AutoBoat, all I'd need to do if my affordable $130 motor breaks is buy another inexpensive one. Imagine the savings! The crazy part is, the AUTOBOAT does more than those expensive trolling motors, and its capabilities can be updated over time, just like a Tesla with a software update!

This system is perfect for me. I have a 12’ jonboat. On small lakes/ponds I run only my stern drive trolling motor. On bigger lakes I run an outboard along with it but it’s a lot of weight in the back for a small Jon (especially when just me) so I was going to get a separate bow mount trolling motor (with anchor mode). Now I can use the same motor for both without having to flip the head back and forth (a pain). It will save me thousands. It’s a genius idea!!!
@drjekelmrhyde 3 ай бұрын
One thing TBN don't hit on is that you can use the trolling motor with this system without unscrewing the top of motor to make it a bow mounted motor.

The one caveat with the AutoBoat not mentioned is that if you mount this unit on the stern, you cannot use the Nav feature. Don’t know why but Nav will not work if mounted on the stern. Would also love to know how long battery would last since, if you use anchor lock, your basically using battery all day just like all other GPS motors.
@AliexFolgueira 3 ай бұрын
no gps trolling motor works well in the stern, not even the $5000 ones, other gps motors dont really tell about how long the battery will last they are designed to work with old lead acid, the best thing you can do is get a battery that has a Bluetooth connector and an app that tells you all the info about the battery, amped outdoors offers that

I saw this on TBN months ago and was intrigued by the concept. If I hadn't bought a Terrova already I would have snagged one. What I didn't know was its ability to create waypoint routes. My Blue Sky 360 Pro that was once easy to toss in the truck and go now sits on a trailer due to all the gear on it. This Autoboat would be perfect for a lightweight yak when you don't want to deal with a trailer or you need to put in where there is no ramp access. That's not a beer belly, it's a croqueta belly. Man I miss Miami and good Cuban food. Let me know if you decide to get a Neural link, maybe we can get a group discount. I can't remember sh1t anymore. What was I saying ... 😉

@KayakDIY 3 ай бұрын
Correct, If we had an outboard on back it wouldn’t sway as much. We later on put an epropulsion outboard on back and it swayed 95% less. In high wind or current you get less sway during anchor mode….in low wind low current you get more sway.

Ok Aliex...your channel is an ever flowing fountain of fishing kayak info. So id like to motorize an ok trident. I was set on either bixpy or newport...but this is sweet and i already have a minnekota endura 50lb that this should work with. Thos seems like a less expensive option with more features. So two questions. Would that heavier/taller trolling motor on the back create some stability issues in the chop/surf and when fighting big fish? You mentioned creating a diy pulley system in this video, does having the autoboat create any unique challenges the way everything connects?
@AliexFolgueira 11 күн бұрын
For the Trident, I recommend the Bixpy or NK180 Pro. The Trident might be too narrow for autoboat and tricky to install on the bow. The safest option is a Bixpy on the rudder. Remember to use my affiliate links! thanks

You obviously don’t know much about boats. Without an outboard mounted on the stern this flat bottom boat will inevitably sway while operating bow mounted motor. It doesn’t matter if it is $649 AutoBoat or a $5000 motor. Try it sometime you will experience the same results even with the most expensive $3000-$6000 GPS trolling motors.

If this boat was around $400-$1,200 it would be about right. I love it but cant get past the price. Sams club had something similar when I was a kid over 30 years ago for around $400. Adding a trailer and motor and you are better off buying 4 boats and trailers off of Craigslist. But I REALLY like it and wish it was more affordable. I’ve got a Yukon 12 foot kayak and I’d rather have that it’s lighter and paid for.
