@@NiteWolfeFishing The 1k resistors are needed due to the original pot configuration. Pots are not my specialty but ask on Tiny Boat Kayak Nation and you will get an explanation from more knowledgeable people.
Congratulations sir. You showed me the rabbit hole and I've jumped in. If I wanted to add a kill switch, would I just put it in line with one of the leads from the pot? (please excuse my ignorance. I'm great with wood, terrible with electronics). Thanks in advance!
Thanks! The Haswing kill switch is much more complicated. I'm the admin of a FB group that has members who can help you with that. Here is the link if interested. facebook.com/groups/3521517597860461
Nice vid, i took my pot out of the black housing to better fit in my tiller arm box. Now if we could just find a good aftermarket prop for this motor that would be great. I swear i think the stock prop is some type of limited slip hub. Which is weird for a trolling motor prop that has a shear pin. The shaft is a weird size also so standard props dont fit without drilling them out.
i tried to drill one out and it worked but hard to really say if better, i have made a few out of just about any 10k pot and it worked well, yes i would use 2 1k ohm resistors, i tried messing with dif values but 1k seems the happy med.
Thank you for the video, it's great as always! Two questions: 1. I've read in some review that the lowest speed of this stepless motor is too high. What can you say about that? Can you set it at a very low rpm? 2. How about using a linear pot with a middle detent? What value pot would that be? Thanks!
Thank you Andrei. I have found the lowest speed to be fine for a kayak. You could use a 10k pot with a center detent but you would need to adjust the knob for the different "0" point on the Haswing. You also need to add two 1k resistors. I did this in another video.
Great video, exactly what I was looking for. I have a question I am looking to buy a Seamax 12v 2hp 65lb - it looks exactly as Haswing is it the same manufacture? Maybe you know?! Thanks a lot for the video!
Nice vid! not much info/video about these motor on the net, but are those 10awg wire for the battery? if they say its 50amp max then why not use 6awg wire instead just to be safe? 6ft total including what goes down in the shaft to the motor for trolling that take only 25amps for exemple yeah that might work but what about travelling at full speed? at let says 50amp if that claim is true?
Instead of removing the potentiometer, I'm thinking of keeping the head controller unit altogether and just moving it closer to my kayak seat...in this case, would I use a 4-pin connector from the motor to the controller correct?
Where can i get shaft seals for my protruar? When I search haswing brushless trolling motor parts, nothing shows up. Seems the lower unit parts are impossible to get which really sucks for the price for this.
Super easy! Almost too easy LOL. So an hour or two of modifying, hook up my Redodo 12v lithium, and no worries? Can it run long runs without overheating? I just fried my Electric Kayak Co PWM when I upgraded to lithium on their Riptide 55LB. I'm just looking for a simple, reliable 12v setup. Is this model better than the Aquos for this mod?
Thanks and Happy New Year to you! I have not seen a standard PWM that can be used with a brushless motor. There are some ESCs that are rated for brushless motors.
Seems like a really cheap price for a 1,0 - 65lbs brushless trolling motor. What is Your impression of the quality? When You accelerate it seems there is a strange noise like a bearing rattling. Did You try it in salt water ?.... Cheers
I have had several different models of Haswing transom and bow mount trolling motors. They are great quality at an excellent price in comparison to other brands. I expect that little noise to work itself out with use.
I have had mine a year, used in both salt amd freshwater. It is a little noisy. But most brushless motors i have had are. Its light. And mine wide open only drew 45 amps. I usually run mine 3/4 throttle. One thing to get used to is a slight delay in start stop. And transitioning from forward and reverse. Its brushless so there is a delay. Nothing bad just is.
@@bretshivers8352 1 year salt and fresh water. That is good news. That means the motor seals seem to be of decent quality. Well, all motors make some kind of noise but really nothing compared to the old gear driven designs from Haswing. A brushless motor for that price is hard to beat. Next on the price ladder up is Newport Vessels. OK, there are a lot more things in the kid but now we are also talking about close to 1000$. Well at least we had our own choice of battery. Yeah, really looks like the ball gets rolling. That´s a lot of Haswings for the price of a Torqueedo same size
I used a 10k ohm potentiometer, and two 1k ohm resistors on the wipers. Works wonderfully.
Yes, I have seen the 10K center detent pot upgrades but they used 1K resistors on the +/-
@@Aksmaniyak spot on catch my friend! Had a long day at work! Love your content!
@@bretshivers8352 Thanks Bret! I'm always looking to learn new things too.
Will any 10k pot work? And are the 1k resistors required for them to work?
@@NiteWolfeFishing The 1k resistors are needed due to the original pot configuration. Pots are not my specialty but ask on Tiny Boat Kayak Nation and you will get an explanation from more knowledgeable people.
Well produced and presented.
Thank you.
Absolutely love your videos. Would you know if this motor would fit into hobie kayaks?
Thanks! Sorry but I don't know. Hobie is one of the few brands of kayaks that I have never modified.

Thanks. My guess about the shaft size is that it makes you buy their replacement prop.

@@Aksmaniyak Much appreciated, and thank you for your typical fast response!
You are welcome.
Nice video. If you need to make a spare control unit, what parts would you reccomend? (pots and resistors).
I have a video tutorial with a Throttle Lever control box for the Haswing.
@@Aksmaniyak Thanks.
Great video, exactly what I was looking for. I have a question I am looking to buy a Seamax 12v 2hp 65lb - it looks exactly as Haswing is it the same manufacture? Maybe you know?! Thanks a lot for the video!
Thanks! Yes, it is the same motor. SeaMax has a short shaft version for the same price if you plan on cutting down the shaft.
@@Aksmaniyak Thank you 🙏

Thanks! I use marine grade 10G wire on all my builds without any problems. The Haswing stock wire is also 10G. The max 50A draw is about right.
Instead of removing the potentiometer, I'm thinking of keeping the head controller unit altogether and just moving it closer to my kayak seat...in this case, would I use a 4-pin connector from the motor to the controller correct?
Yes, it has been done but you still need to extend all the wiring.
Nice setup are you able to put the wireless controller you did on your watersnake trolling motor on this haswing trolling motor?
Thanks Dustin. No. The wireless ESC set up is for brushed motors. The Haswing is brushless.
Thank you🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Where can i get shaft seals for my protruar? When I search haswing brushless trolling motor parts, nothing shows up. Seems the lower unit parts are impossible to get which really sucks for the price for this.
I have never needed to replace any parts but others have had an issue trying to order parts. You might try Aliexpress or similar China websites.

The Haswing is sold by a few dealers. It is the same as the Aquos.
Hi and happy new year.
Do you know if you can use a pwm with brushless trolling motors?
Thanks and Happy New Year to you! I have not seen a standard PWM that can be used with a brushless motor. There are some ESCs that are rated for brushless motors.
@@Aksmaniyak Thanks. I thought that was the case
I am a fan and student. Can i ask if this particular Haswing 65lbs motor can be paired to PWM?
Hi, thanks for the support. No, you can't use any other speed controller with this Haswing. It already has a speed controller.
@@Aksmaniyak thank you
Where did you get the knob?
1/4" half moon knob on Amazon. Numerous choices.

@@bretshivers8352 Overall, you just get used to the differences.
@@Aksmaniyak Well, maybe it´s just when You run the motor dry and in the water there is lubrication. Can You confirm ?
