I know it's been a while since you done this video but I just found it. If you shorten the shaft like you did can you not cut the wires and just leave the excess wiring in the head and just put the cover back on? I'm thinking of getting one and doing this mod to it so the length is more in line with my Newport Vessels 55lb Kayak version trolling motor. I like this Haswing because it's brushless so it will be much more efficient, 8lbs lighter and the big thing and my main reason for getting one is the more proportion throttle vs the 5 steps on my NV trolling motor.
Whats the length of the original shaft you bought this motor? Was it the 660 or 900mm? And whats the best length should you have dipped into the water for the motor to perform optimally for a kayak?
The shaft is 36". Each kayak is different depending on the hull design and load. I would put it in the water under your normal conditions and measure from there.
Thank you for all your hard work.
Good explanation and demonstration.
Cheers m8👍

You could store some excess wiring in the head but I'm not sure it will all fit.
Good vid.Question, do you cut the wire from the speed controller? Thanks
Thank you Stephen. Yes, I lengthened the wiring for a remote.
