*This makes my old motor look like a toy **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it's well built. I haven't had it on the water yet, but I'm very sure it will perform just fine.*
The reason I’m interested in the prop nut is with side imaging on my trolling motor that means it must be deployed. Just makes good sense that the cone would divert water pressure away from motor head and seals around shaft if I was motoring slow with motor on back. Side imaging is supposed to work best tween 2-5mph so the water pressure wouldn’t be that much but hey don’t want to get water in the motor which is very common in freeze thaw climates.
The tagline for our coolfoot line is: cool, comfortable traction. It provides a cushioned feel whether you’re barefoot, wearing sandals, shoes or winter boots! It also provides bling. Coolfoot, since 2005!
The Troll Perfect is one of the best trolling motor inventions ever…and the Transducer Shield & Saver is money well spent, have it on trolling motor and on my jack plate for SI transducer. Great video, enjoyed it!
I bought a Fortrex 80, it did not come with the stabilizer bar, but it was listed on the parts inventory in the installation manual. I called Minn Kota and told them it was not in the box and they sent me one at no charge. So if yours doesn't come with one, check the manual to see if it should be included before buying one
Anyone who says the eliminator prop nut doesn't work hasn't tried it. I can tell you on my Ulterra it made a HUGE difference. I mean huge. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
❤ the Video man! I am going to subscribe to your channel as everything you showcased makes perfect sense! 👍 How is the vibration from the trolling motor mounted to the aluminum deck? Without a dampening barrier it seems the vibrations would resonate through the entire hull of the boat like a big loudspeaker announcing your presence to the Bass! Is there a product that you can put under your trolling motor that can minimize the vibrations?
Great video and it is really great to see an honest review of stuff that you purchased with your own money and provide feedback. You are really thorough and it is appreciated and yes an install video would be cool to see!! Thank you sir!! Tight lines as always!! :)
I saw the prop nut Eliminator and some scientific underwater sound testing done and it did not work, in fact in some cases the trolling motor nut Eliminator actually made more trolling motor noise underwater...
Great video. I am a believer in the prop nut. There is still some vibration on my Ultrex when I change direction quickly, but it’s reduced significantly with the nut. I’m surprised you don’t go with the troll tamer stabilizer instead of the MK stand ( being the Tackle Junky and all 😂).
I added a Hydrowave to mine. Have had it out twice with it on. All I can say is I'll never run a boat without one again. The amount of baitfish that congregate by my trolling motor is ridiculous. Secondly, there have been MULTIPLE times already that I have seen legit wakes coming towards my boat from 50-60 yards away to try to find that sound. I've seen both positive and negative reviews on it but I took a chance. The biggest thing imo is not running it too loud. Most all of the pros who I was able to find talking about it run it run it between 1-3 on the volume. Fwiw I got it to mask my trolling motor sounds more then anything, I didn't get it to call fish in. I was surprised at what I have seen so far on the water with it only twice so far.
@@TackleJunky81 Thanks brother. I went ahead and picked up the cool foot. I have been alternating between shoes on and shoes off when I'm out on the water for 8-10 hours. I was weary of those things holding up for a long period of time. If it held up well enough for you on your old boat, that's good enough for me. Re Hydrowave: Like I said man, I won't run one without it again. Do I think it will help me catch more fish? It's hard to say. Have I seen it turn fish on? Who knows they may have already been on and the sounds made them move in the direction of my boat. Do I think it hurts? Absolutely 100% no. So for me, if it helps me catch 1-2 more fish a day or even a week, it's worth it especially as I get into tournament fishing next year. So no it doesn't have fish jumping in my boat left and right, but in 2, 9 hour trips I have already seen enough to be convinced on something I was very skeptical of.
Prop nuts tested louder for underwater noise levels, also eat up battery power faster. Edit for sound test with hydrophone data: th-cam.com/video/i0CDIKs1qk8/w-d-xo.html Prop nuts are louder, prop speed is what makes the difference.
Nice man, your trolling motor didn’t come with that small bar mounted on the bottom that hits the deck when you raise it up to absorb the vibration when you’re trailering it..? You might as well get you a G Force handle to raise it with now 👍🏼
TackleJunky81 I need me a set of those shocks th marine has that goes on each side of the trolling motor so it won’t be so heavy to put in a out.. My backs so sore I’m wearing a back brace, 15hrs on the water in one day.. Do you have a discount code for them man?
TackleJunky81 I checked them out.., they only make them for motor guide as far as I can find so far.., mine is the Minn Kota Maxxum 80 If you see a ol boy on a cane which I’m close to it, it’s me lol..
Bolts coming loose from road vibrations? Perhaps you need to rethink the actual installation! Perhaps some Loctite; locking washers; and/or Nyloc nuts...I’ve had boats for 20+ years and have seen my share of things breaking, things needing replacement, etc, but haven’t had anything come loose from road vibrations yet.
Even if it did nothing for vibration first time you break the prop on the water that thing is worth every penny not fooling around getting tools out this and that grab it props off new ones on
That's not to say I don't love it in like bare feet so it's a must have just doesn't look as good as it did and it wasn't something I planned to replace every spring to keep it looking good
This is a marketing ploy. Does not work as either a sound dampener or heat sink. Worse of all, if you break the shear pin, which is a safety device, you cannot remove the prop because access to the shaft end screwdriver slot is blocked. You will need to saw off the conical end to access the motor shaft. I would not recommend buying. Stay with the Minn Kota washer and nylock nut !!
Wow you have no kids lol how in depth one can get, with something so unimportant..to me, anyway. Why you gotta full throttle jerk a right turn? Cut throttle a bit and turn gradually...smoothly. my wife would kill me for such a sudden choppy move. Which is why she stays on shore 🤣
*This makes my old motor look like a toy **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it's well built. I haven't had it on the water yet, but I'm very sure it will perform just fine.*
Good stuff me & the wife just got our first boat. I like the things you are posting. Learning a lot. Keep it coming.

My pleasure! Thanks for watching Kelly!

I’ve got the Ulterra also and it has a little vibration so I’m thinking about getting the eliminator prop nut. Any problem getting it off if needed ?

Appreciate you! There are some rubber washers under the trolling motor...I don't notice much vibration at all.
If you night fish, I recommend the rigid industries fortrex spot light. Also, the red one trolling motor cable is very nice and easy to install.

I have the prop nut it work for me it has taken out the vibration I also have the troll jacket it also helps by keeping the wires in place.
Glad to hear you're diggin them! 👊💪
Hope all is well. Positive vibes!

Thank you brother! The troll tamer wouldn't work with where my motor is mounted. Below where I would need to put it isn't flat.
Good stuff man!! Hope all is well!! Wouldn't mind seeing the install vid, the stabilizer
👊💪
Great info. Would like to see the install of the stabilizer.
Thank you Steve!
Great tips Brother. The new boat I am looking at has the Ipilot and GPS! Looking at a Targa V19WT Tournament Edition
New rig sounds awesome man! 👊💪
Love your troll jacket looks amazing
Thank you and I appreciate you watching!
NICE WORK!
Thanks for sharing I have a Ulterra 80, I am trying to find out if the prop nut and Chill Trax Pad it will work hope so.
No problem!
You have a lovely setup really looks good hope you enjoy it 👌
Thank you Janos!
I'm all for that install video.
👊💪

Agree with an install vid
It would be get to see all the instahls

I have the prop eliminator and still have the nut on my force
Troll perfect works
💯
Great video. Just curious about your KVD soft plastic bags. How are they now that you have had them out on the water?
So far so good, but I'm sure I'll do a follow up video at a later date.
Who in the heck would give this a thumbs down
No joke man, lol Go figure. Appreciate you watching!
must be the accessory companies who didnt make the cut 😂
Great video. Question, do you think 36 volt trolling motor on a aluminum rig your size would be overkill?
Not at all, especially if you're fishing big water or in a lot of current.
@@TackleJunky81 Thank you TackleJunky81. Just getting into a boat soon. Fishing rivers and lakes prone to high wind.
yes on the install video
👊💪
Great accessories man!!💪🏼💪🏼
👊💪
Trust me I fish bare foot and that dang paddle gets hot as heck in the summer.
Ever heard of a hydrowave? Kvd uses it, I would like to know if those are legit or a gimmick
I've heard of them, but never used one.
TackleJunky81 i bought one big waste of money never could tell any difference if it was off or turned on
I was thinking about buying one years ago when I heard that he used it.. Never got it though🤷♂️
Looking to buy the Tracker 190tx is there a reason you switched to the Crestliner?
I mainly just liked the layout better.
Install vid....do it!! 👊🏽
👊💪

No sir...I believe it's standard on the 112 though, but I added one.

Your videos are fire 🔥
Appreciate you watching! 👊💪
What's the difference in the crestliner xf vs vt series thanks
Both are similar boats. The XF's came out for 2020 and are a little bit wider and have a higher horsepower rating.
@@TackleJunky81 looking to purchase one soon thanks ,keep up the great content.

For sure! 👊💪

Should call it the fool foot.....
Cool foot fades color very fast one season it's all faded
The red one on my Tracker held up pretty good over the years...I'll keep an eye on the new one.
I've got a red one on my boat also now mine doesn't spend as much time in the garage or even covered as some people's but it's very faded in one year
That's not to say I don't love it in like bare feet so it's a must have just doesn't look as good as it did and it wasn't something I planned to replace every spring to keep it looking good
@@coreypowell7194 I hear ya bud. You could probably message them to see if fading is normal.
You are 100% wrong on the prop nut eliminator. It serves NO purpose at all. TH-cam the test and you will change your opinion
