Watersnake Geo-Spot Electric Remote Outboard Installation

Installing my Watersnake Geo-Spot 65lb electric motor onto my little boat.
Using the nylon quick release bracket, I mount the setup on the bow of my Fishing Boat Project. I had previously installed the Watersnake Nav Sensor and couldn't wait for the motor to arrive so I could test them out together. Now to add water and see how they perform.

Hey mate What battery are you running for the watersnake cheers

[@coasttocountryaustralia]

Hi, I'm only running an old 100ah deep cycle agm battery, it was stored at the farm for 6 years before I used it, its still holding up well, I would recommend a 125ah or the lithium ones if you can afford it. Cheers

[@dayze_codmobile79]

Do you need a sounder to run the gos or does it do it by itself

[@coasttocountryaustralia]

Nah, the electric motor does its own gps. Cheers

[@michalesinclair5274]

Have you used the geo spot yet mate if so how did it go

[@coasttocountryaustralia]

Yes, I need to do a video on it soon. Works great, I used it in some strong winds, big current and swell and it held position within about 1-2 metres. In better conditions the boat stays still. Cheers

Hi mate what type of bolt or screw AND glues do you use to drill through aluminium?
Nice video. Thanks for sharing

[@coasttocountryaustralia]

Hi, I use 316 stainless steel screws and bolts and marine sikaflex glue, you can use roof and gutter silicone if you cant get sikaflex. Cheers

[@naokoktm]

@@coasttocountryaustralia Thank you.
Also just noticed you got some amazing video collection. Great TH-cam channel. Instantly subscribed 😁

[@coasttocountryaustralia]

@@naokoktm Thanks hopefully I will have some more when I catch up a bit!

[@jeffreybrands8858]

Hi mate, thinking of buying one myself, how long did it take to install the motor? Cheers

[@coasttocountryaustralia]

Depends on your boat set-up, theres videos on my chanel doing it. Cheers

[@robprideaux3279]

Have you trimmed the shaft shorter, and if so was it complicated?

[@coasttocountryaustralia]

Not yet it was still under warranty

[@MichaelNaude]

Hi. Not sure if you still run this trolling motor. Would you mind giving me your honest opinion on this motor and if it is good value for money. Thanks in advance and kind regards.

[@coasttocountryaustralia]

Hi, so far its been a good reliable motor with a lot of features for the price. Cheers

[@MichaelNaude]

Thank you for your feedback. Greatly appreciated.

[@vaskodimoski5690]

@@coasttocountryaustralia Does remote run on batteries

[@chats5957]

@@clarkster98 Yes, 3xAAA's. If you have an anaconda store nearby, use their price beat guarantee. About $1,500 for the Geospot 65lb/54" once they price beat. Bargain.

[@outnabout7417]

​@chats5957 hey mate, I'm looking for the same motor around that price. Can you remember where you found it for 1.5k

[@Cparker8]

Hey mate i have the same motor, what i find annoying sometimes is the cord gets all twisted around the shaft. Have u had this happen? If so, any solution?

[@coasttocountryaustralia]

Hi, I put the extra gps puck on the back of the boat and it hasn't twisted since. Cheers

[@vaskodimoski5690]

Hi mate how's it going any issues yet?

[@coasttocountryaustralia]

All good so far its still working fine. Cheers
