I set out to test my newly built mud motor build that I bought from Beaver Dam Mud Runners to fish in. At first I had forgot to turn off the choke. You need the choke to start this cheaper Harbor Freight Predator 212cc 6.5 hp motor. Once it is warmed up the choke needs to be turned off. This motor and kit really pushed this boat fast! I did find it really difficult to push the bar down to keep the prop in the water. It was also very noisy which is something I had expected. After showing the boat off to a couple friends I tried to catch my first fish in the boat. You will see the results at the end of the video.
Special thanks goes out to Beaver Dam Mud Runners for making this amazing kit!

Yeah these things vibrate a lot. It's the single cylinder. The big block have a counter balance weight that balances the engine much better. The v-twins are smooth running as well because the twin cylinders balance each other out.
+Black Warrior Lures Cool
Get a 10' stick of 1.5 inch white PVC drain pipe. You can make 5 rod holders. Get some heavy duty zip tie straps and tie them to the vertical ribs of the boat. It will cost you around $15.00 total. They are super strong.
I am looking into a cheap way to power an aluminum 16ft boat that my girlfriends dad let me have. This looks like the way to go!
This would work much better on a 16 foot boat! It was a little awkward to handle on my 12 foot Jon and I am a little on the weak side (need to have a good arm to hold it in the water).
One of the cheapest ways to get a new motor that will get you outback away from crowds 🐟
That is sooo perfect for the rivers I fish!!
+TwiztedFishingTv Its a little hard to control but if I figure it out I should be able to go anywhere!
how's it been going? Has it gotten a little better?
@@garsgonewild I sold it and bought other boats.
That $70 HF motor really impressive! can t beat it.
Agree! Really awesome motor to work with!
Looking to get one of these soon for my Water Quest 10.2, good video, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching! If you order one from Beaver Dam Mud Runners let them know Panfish send you there way!
Nice ha new stile
Is pretty good looking same like Thailand 🇹🇭 boat 🚤
Thank you! It is a really unique set up.
nice set up! liked and subscribed. Thanks for sharing.
+Jesse Stanfield Thanks for watching!
Yeah forget these complicated motors I just made a wood strip canoe now I want a motor for my Jon boat.
Mud motors are the cheap in comparison to outboards. Unless you take the risk of buying used (I've been burned twice on used less than 10 hp outboards).
That's the 212cc Predator? Wow! It's really moving!
Yeah it really scooted that little jon boat!
I got a 12ft jon boat with the 8hp predator and easily hit 20mph
Ah my first youtube video of a place I have actually been!
Sweet....nice job
Can you tell us the name of that brush clamp again? that is genius for anchoring to trees!
+factionfx Holdz Tite Brushgripper. I have an Amazon Associate link to it in my description but they sell so fast they can't keep them in stock.
I would use a tillotson 212 instead because of the electric start and it's 10 hp out of the box.
I didn't know anyone made an electric start for something this small. Thanks for the info!
This is awesome man!
+Andrew Burress Thanks!
Nice man!
+Top-Tactic Fishing Thanks!
Nice! Congrats
+The Fishing Hobby Thanks!
Remember, chew bubble gum to patch the hole that you shot into the boat killing the snake that landed in the boat while you were latched onto a tree. 🤠
I had a snake board my kayak. I ended up feeding it. Short here: SNAKE in my Kayak!!! #shorts

Turn up your idle speed about a 1/16 to and 1/8 of a turn or so.
Need to get a rope so you can run that thing hands free while at idle speeds.
You can also turn out the governor screw to get and extra 400 rpm or so out of the motor.
Yeah, get a six inch prop, you'll never be able to hold it down with that high handle.
You'll need to add a couple ounces more oil so it won't die out like that.
+Black Warrior Lures Ok will do! Maybe that is why it died that one time?
Your handle is too high....maybe flip the whole assembly 180°
Instead of pulling the key just push the kill switch button
You're moving!
+Realistic Fishing Ohh yea! It was super strong and hard to control!
Might actually swap it out for an actual outboard motor ! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's what I ended up doing. Then I upgraded to a boat with a jet outboard.... then I got an even bigger boat.
Get that kill switch hooked up.
+Gerard Johnson I need to!
Do you have a part number for the kit
They don't have a part number for the kit. They call it the "lightweight kit". You will have to call them if you order one to have the right shaft adapter sent. Tell them Panfish sent you: Phone: 901-831-1669 www.beaverdammudrunners.com
Why did it die? Mine does this constantly. New engine
I never really figured out why it was doing that. I ended up trading it for a broken outboard. Now I have a big 18 foot jet boat.
disconnect the low oil level sensor
Now go hunt some fish with that monster! :)
Also, wear your kill switch.
+David H That's the plan.
What transom mount are u runing?
It was one they came with the kit. I think they custom make it.
Are you using the 85” or the 65 inch shaft thx
Sorry I don't actually remember.
What size prop
I think it was a 2 inch aluminum prop. You would have to call Beaver Dam Mud Runners to find out. Tell them Panfish sent you!
Why does that motor look not properly installed?
The bracket is a custom one they make and looks odd in comparison to the more popular mud motor kits out there.
@@TNRVG OK, Thanks for your response. I had to ask because it certainly is different from the models I have seen.
I thought you had a trolling moter
+Noah Yarbrough I did but I sold it lol
Nice vid. What reel is that man?
+Jerry Medrano Okuma Classic Pro size 200: amzn.to/2zbCslY
what company made your boat ?
It was a used Tracker. It wasn't really built for a mud motor.
Is this epa friendly probably not
No idea.
How about hook kill switch to you
I forgot a lot on this video. I actually do it now on my 20 foot boat. Check out my newest fishing videos.
مرحبا
Hi
@@TNRVG اني من العراق
Cool. Tell your friends about my channel. I don't have much of an international audience.
@@TNRVG نو انكلش
Gee I wonder how one of these would work with a torque converter on it?
Without having an actual transmission I don't think it would do anything. It would add a ton of weight too.
Panfish I am not talking about an automotive one but one that is made for a go kart. It basically is a transmission but is constantly variable like a Polaris atv. It bolts directly to the motor and has an output chain drive. When the drive axle speed is low it multiplies the torque available to the axle shaft and when it is higher it multiplies the available speed to the shaft. Look up redbeards garage or cars and cameras youtube channels torque converter install and you will get the idea of what I am talking about. Btw it only weights about 5 lbs so it wouldn't add too much to the set up.
Neat!
Is it a 1232 or 1236 boat?
It was a Tracker Topper 12W which is considered a 1236. I miss this boat. Wish I would have kept the hull!
Fishing with Billy nice. I’m getting a 1232 next weekend but worried about the stability. I need something small and light for river fishing
Stable is a relative term. Get the widest boat you can find at the length you want. While the Topper 12w was a fun little boat I would recommend at least a 1648.
Fishing with Billy I think I’m getting the 1540 from academy.
whats the mph?????????????
I am not sure. It was going pretty fast for such a small boat.
my 1436 topper fully loaded down cruses at 9mph and gets about 8-10 miles per tank of fuel. they are nice and reliable but definitely a learning curve to launching and landing the boat without reverse. and taking wide turns. but for the price its a nice little setup
Not bad!
that is so dam loud... I don't understand the fascination with these style of motors? every fishing around you was chased away!
They are very loud! It's to get to spots that even a jet can't access. Mostly used by duck hunters because of the noise.
The engine is a cheap, Chinese product. There are better mufflers around that can be fitted. The “fascination” with these engines is that they are air cooled and will run places where you can’t get a water cooled outboard. Look up prodrive mud flats and see what they do.
I've seen the surface drives. They are definitely worth it!
@@TNRVG I love mine. It does the job it was designed to do very well. And you gotta love being able to plane out in reverse. See if Marsh-mellow makes an exhaust for your set up if you want to make it quieter and make more power. If you don’t run in serious mud and stumps, then you can route the exhaust down below the waterline to quieten it up more. Some people make a big deal about the noise, but unlike most outboards, it’s not in the water where is scares the fish more.
소음 너무 심합니다
I agree! 나는 동의한다
