Awesome

Would you be interested in making and selling one?

Thanks, great video.

I am sorry but I don’t understand what role the servo board plays. Is it doing any analog to digital conversion?

Thank you for great video. I have a question regarding voltage rating for ESC shown on Amazon is 6 volt; and you connect this ESC to 12volt LiPePo battery. Would this procedure burns the ESC?

Its there a way to lock the steering? Looks like the hotrc controller just lock the speed. Are you using the trimmer for that ?

Im going to make an DIY autoboat with this idea . Its rare that nobody has try it yet. You just need to add a flight contoller with inav or ardupilot and will have a full autonomous kayak with anchor mode, return to home and waypoints.

Will this installation work with only a brushed-motor trolling motor or will it work with a brushed or brushless motor? If I get a trolling motor with a brushless motor, do I need to get a brushless servo and a brushless esc? Will the Hot RC DS 600 remote work with a brushless servo and brushless esc? Thanks!

Hi Aksman thanks for putting up this vid, know its been 3 years ago ,but its been very helpful in how i wire this PWM up as the wire up of the motor is not marked negative and positive,yourvid shows it clear how to so great referance thanks :) ,im in Adealide South Australia by the way :)

Spot lock! LOL! Love it!

I’m ashamed I didn’t come up with this! The trailer hitch has been driving me crazy with the vertical pin hole not horizontal. Couldn’t find and adapters that would work and had vertical holes! Even worse I put those same adaptors on all my quads so I knew they were available!!’

Thanks internet dad!

When i click the link for the servo governor its no longer in stock. Do you have another governor that you recommend that will work with this set up?

I have been using this for 3 months almost daily now on a 55lb Newport. It's on an 11ft Zodiac inflatable. I put it in a project box, I added a fan directly on the heatsink, and another fan to move air in the box. So far I didn't have a single problem with it and I ran it for about 20 min at 35A continuously. I have a temp probe installed and it went fro m 28C ambient to 32C on load, which is perfect. If anyone is interested in the components: there are 2 channels, one for fwd and one for reverse. For each channel, it has 2 relays with no inscription on them (they look like 80A each, so 160A per channel), 2 flyback STPS41H100CG Schottky diodes (80A per channel, which seems undersized), 8 mosfets STP75NF68 (80A each). The Mosfets have proper gate protection. The 8 capacitors are 470mf rated at 63V. As a tip for anyone, I am using an APC propeller (10x5LH) instead of the stock prop. My speed increased from 3.9mph to 4.8 mph, while the max amp draw dropped from 48A to 34A. It's a huge battery saver. There are some videos on youtube with tests for speed and amps. Anyway, about the speed controller - so far so good, seems like a well made board.

Best lifting design so far! Well balanced with reduced pulling force! Well done!

I have an oldtown 120 sportsman non pedal and bought a riptide 55 transom. what is the plate you used to attach this 😮

What a terrible video

With the yak power system I'm wondering if you could use the same port to power your ex system as you do to plug in your charger as long as you weren't trying to use both of the same time.

Good info! I'm finally looking into the tiller steering method for my kayak as I move my NK300 back to my Native slayer 13. I have not been happy with my original homemade hand steering and the foot pedal steering when using it on my ATAK 120. I just find that with a powerful motor like the NK300 (3hp) the steering cables become hard to move, even with pulleys. My preference for the actual tiller is a thin fiberglass rod with flex on the end. I could run them through eyelets and the flex should allow raising the motor. I'm not likely to stand while running - too old for that!!! I'm even considering trying an old broken tipped graphite fishing pole. I'm curious about your opinion since you are one of YT's top kayak innovators, IMO!

Strictly speaking, this is NOT a servo because you can't move the motor in small increments to precise locations. From an anglers perspective, this is pretty awesome, but with an *actual* servo, you could have an Arkanoid style paddle that corresponds 1:1 with position / direction of the motor.

In the previous version you used a separate BEC that stepped down to 7.4v The 880s internal BEC steps down to 6v per the specs. Do you notice any difference?

Servo not included!

My MK is a 32. Is there a control board for this, or would I just get the board that you got?

Your a genius this is exactly what I needed

This works perfect for my Ascent FS10 Kayak. I now have a triple layer Old Town Loon Hull and it does not pass signal through the hull.. Anyone have suggestions?

Ha! Wish I saw this before screwing on a 6” mending plate on my Crescent CK1 transom. But I got it done regardless :). Loving your videos and can’t wait to add steering and ESC sometime

Хороший транец

Hi mate,,,,That's amazing how it works good idea could i order one from you please,,,,,,,i don't know what to buy,,,or could you send me the parts list please

I live in Pa. If you live close I would be interested in having you do an install. Lmk

Hmmm ok maybe I'll try it

Hi, do you sell them?

Wish it can work with the Aquos

I have haswing 12v 65lb 50a 600w trolling motor, will a 50a circuit breaker work or do I need a 60a circuit breaker? My battery is a 12v200ah.. thanks in advance

Hi this is great thank you. Can i ask if this a water cooled unit and if it has overheat temperature protection,??

Hi does it have overheat temperature protection??

How does the pot switch control forward and reverse? The ones I see for sale just show a range from 1-10.

why is it that people can use these type of kill switches on their trolling motors when they are rated for 5 amps? the maximum draw on the smallest 30 lb thrust motors is 30 amps. Being that these are normally closed switches how are they not toast after constantly being under an amp load that's significantly higher than what their rated for.

This is such an inspiring job! You explained it so well that I know that I can do it! Your electronics may be another story though...

Thank you very much brother,,,,,

Have you been able to source the Servo Controller Boards from the US? Also, did the single female to 2 male splitter that you ordered work?

What exactly is inside the black 3d printed box?

Thank you. I ordered the one that you are using. I'll see how it goes

Thanks for the videos. Will a 6 amp constant 10 amp peak Bec work for this servo?

HI. You have a video of how to program Hobbywing ESC LED Program Card? thanks

Hey, Aksman. Out of curiosity, why toggles over rivets? Thank you for the video and your time.

Will this work with a minn kota endura c2 55lb and 100 ah lifepo4 battery?

Great video! I noticed the server would steer the kayak in the opposite direction of the joystick. Is there a way to reverse this so the joystick point would also steer the kayak in the same direction?

Hey I did this to my kayak. When I start my controller and motor and go foward it works fine sometimes but for the most part when I throttle it in either reverse or foward for more than 3 seconds, the power seems to go out a lot and isn’t as powerful. It won’t go any faster and will stay loosing power until it just doesn’t work. Do you think this is my battery or what am I doing. Wrong

My controller when I installed this makes my motor go foward and all of a sudden just stops out of nowhere and goes randomly when I press. What could be the problems?

Great stuff.
