I literally told my told my fishing partner this week that i thought i could make one out of a minn kota style turning motor. This is almost exactly what i had planned. Thanks for sharing.
It works really well for me. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Genius! Love what you invented. Thanks for the great ideas.
Thank you sir! And thanks for watching!
Nice video. Your voice and accent remind me of the now deceased singer-songwriter, John Prine.
Thanks for watching! That accent is brought to you courtesy of the South Carolina Lowcountry!
Beautifully done sir i love it!! Thanks for sharing
Thank you sir for watching!
Great video, thanks‼️

What size Fishing Specialist mount did you get? I got a 10 I believe. Reason I ask is since you did such a great job inspiring me to build this, I built a 3D bracket that fits over the whole mount. It allows you to lock it in place in the up position and the down position with a pin. All pretty heavy duty. Currently I have an arrow on top of pull al well, that also is a handle, slip right over 1.125 pole. I am not completely done with my build, I do not want to give you the STL files just yet. Last prototype was awesome, just about finished. If you like that system you made, I will give you this bracket STL however I can. I was just back looking at your file as I was putting everything together. Crazy how cool and cheap you can make these, especially if you have a 3D printer. I have mine going on a toggle switch on the dash, not foot pedal. Let me know if you are interested.
P.S. My mount would work as is on the medium mount and long mount. If you have the short one, it probably will not work, but could be inspiration for you.
One of the best build I have found. Thank You!
Yeah man it's a simple build and works great. I finally found a nice set of dual pedals that came from a hot cold water fountain. I'm using it in all my latest fishing videos. It's low profile and heavy duty. Just what I was looking for. If I think about it I'll go measure the board in the morning. I can't remember off the top of my head. I'm underway on my next project now. To have an arduino and compass/gyro module keep that transducer pointed at what I point it at. Send me what you got when you are ready. I'd be interested in looking at it. Thanks for the feedback and good luck with your build. I sure have enjoyed mine!
Nice job. It looks like you could easily run the Livescope cable through the pole.
Man I sure wish that was the case! The connector on the xducer cable is a bit larger than the inside diameter of the pole. Thanks for watching and commenting!
What kind of button is on your pole. It's brilliant for storage.
If you've ever seen the locking buttons on telescoping poles I used the spring from it and machined a wedge shape to use on it instead of the locking button. Kind of hard to explain. Lol. Thanks for watching!!
Where were you able to get the spring loaded button for the pole? I'm having trouble finding the tapered kind that you have in your build.
@@tinkanator2000 I machined the tapered part out of a block of aluminum. Ground off the button and fastened it to the spring. Cut a slot in the pole to fit where you want it to be. I think I robbed the spring out of an old landing net. You can buy them online though.
@@Rednecks_Lair That makes sense, thank you for the reply.
@@tinkanator2000 thanks for watching!!
Great idea!! Are the 3d print files available?
I'd have to look. I have thousands of files. Since it's not final I'll probably design something new. Thanks for watching!
hello, please tell us what happens if you press the 2 buttons, but the leg that happens with the electronic assembly is short-circuited
Nothing happens. The circuit board with the relays have that logic built in. There is no short circuit. I push both buttons all the time. Thanks for watching.
@@Rednecks_Lair ok tanks !!!!!!
I like DIY projects, I was just curious to what makes that steering motor turn the pole? and would you make a pole like that for me on my dime? Thanks
The piece that goes on just before the handle is the steering collar. It's the same collar that came off the original trolling motor shaft and functions the exact same way. I don't have the free time to make any but I'm flattered that you'd ask! Thanks for watching!!
Just wondering if that collar is purchased separately or supplied when purchasing the steering motor
Where did you find that aluminum pole, looks kinda like a deck umbrella pole.
It's from a long handled landing net from a yard sale! Thanks for watching!!
How did you do the base plate
How you do the base plate
The steel plate is screwed into the deck. The base with the mag switches go on it. Other than that the video is pretty self explanatory. Maybe I just don't know exactly what you're asking?
