I sure do still have it! With 2 people and all my gear it would push the boat at just under 6mph. That isn’t very fast but the boat did have a lot of weight in it between 2 people and all the gear.
So you just have it wired directly to a battery to splices or anything else? I have a 12ft Jon boat & need a trolling motor I just wanna know if I can hook it up directly to a battery without having to add all these extra things to it
It’s a small connection on the positive terminal that runs from the motor to the battery, Minn kota doesn’t provide them in the box like Newport vessel does, I have the same set up but on a kayak and trying to stay fairly budget as well
@@killswitch7775 I see, my setup is as budget as I could go with it still being usable and efficient. It’s the trolling motor wires, then trolling motor extension wires I got on Amazon for 20$ and those are connected straight to the battery terminals. It doesn’t have a fuse or anything in between.
Thank you so much for this video was trying to figure out how to run mine as a front mount
This is the exact set up I am doing and you have the same battery I was going to buy 😂😂😂
if you still have the 2 hp. outboard you could do a video on how fast it will push that little boat.

I'm more interested in your depth finder setup. Could do a vid on it.
I’ll have a video on that soon!
Looking for one for my 12ft boat how is it for casting or staying pretty steady along bank?

Yeah as long as your cables reach the battery then your good. I just extended my wires because I wanted the battery in the back for the time being.
How long does the battery last you while fishing?
@@moisesramirez7898 I don’t troll a whole lot but the battery has never gone dead on me and I’m consistently out for half a day or more.
What ah battery are you using?
Can you run the trolling motor without a short circuit connection.?.?.
What do you mean by short circuit connection? My apologies but I’m not familiar with that term.
