I was one of the frustrated people waiting on the new smart head. I am glad that i am still waiting lol. The big thing i have observed with any of your content from the very start of watching you years ago is your desire to give people a product that is not only cost affective, but the most bang for the buck. Your ability to lay everything out in laymans (spelling) terms is second to none. Thanks for your passion and your time you have given to TBN.
Man this would be awesome on my kayak. I currently have a Newport Vessels Kayak Series 36Lb stern mounted. I steer with cables connected to the foot rests. That anchor mode would be extremely useful.
Still trying to find best option for trolling motor on a 14' v hull crestliner. The edge looks great but dont want to buy an Edge and then find out I bought the "Wrong" version of the edge.
Just wondering about manual tracks....another TBN guy on a podcast said that if you are on a track and stop it will not continue? Also that you couldnt change the speed of the track. Just wondering if this is possible. Thanks
Please, for the love of god, make it so that the foot pedal can be either wireless or wired. If the connection messes up somehow, we could just hook the cable that's stored somewhere and keep fishing.
It’s probably gonna have to be completely wireless, but will try to make it the best quality possible. Making a hybrid model would result in having a entirely different drive motor unit.

Waiting patiently. Preordered.
I'm excited to get one of these very soon. My dad got a Newport NV 55 lbs trolling motor from Santa, and we want to put the AutoBoat Smart Head on it!
That is the perfect motor for the head.
Cant wait to get mine.
Same!
"SHUT UP DUCK"😂
Preordered ✅

People use it for this all the time!
Adding the Smart Head will allow me to ditch the PWM I’m using.
Does it have cruise control to hold a specific speed? That would be great for trolling.
Yes
Good vid. Just need the minnkota edge mount how to.

You can go to resume track wherever you stop. You’re gonna have to stop when you catch a fish. I show how to do this in the video.
Does this on anchor into the wind and or currents
yes it will hold point toward the flow
When is this available in Australia?
It’s not, but we will ship there with extra steps involved
@@TinyBoatNation great, where can I buy this?
Does this work on the rear of the craft?
Yes, but only for a steering and anger mode. We have a certain mode that flips the control so it steers correctly from the back.
👀👀
Er, it IS January 🤔
Coming soon.
I can see a lot of phones being lost overboard…
Yeah, a feather may be required
Definitely do not want to lose a $1,500. Phone!!!
@ I know, right!
Get a floating waterproof case
@ I’d rather just use the remote. Not everything needs an app 🙄

Can you just make a stern mounted gps motor? Most people aren’t smart enough to diy change head 😢😂😅
This product is not meant for all people
@@TinyBoatNation just make a product to suit more people
