This is the kind of crazy shit I do. I love it. BTW, I run my Minkota trolling motor on up to 17 volts. I've done it for several years and so far it's holding up fine. I run it on a 5-cell Lifepo4 pack, which fully charged is around 17 volts. A nice little Harbor Freight (not like the one you have) inverter generator will be a lot more quiet and should run your motor as good as what you have. Downside is it's a lot more $$$.
Totally agree, I did make an exhaust extension and ran it under water which quieted it down a lot... but now I've got 200ah of deep cycle batteries and I'm making a solar canopy this year. I'm also using an AGNI/Lynch high power DC motor on an old outdrive with a 48v 20ah lithium battery for experiments in higher speed. I have a bunch of old 2 stroke gas boat motors but I'm tired of fixing them. I even have an old 2 stroke snow blower engine with a 24" TRI blade pusher propeller that I mounted to a computer chair mechanism and it works great to push the boat around but is loud and dangerous 😆
Another guy did this with a whisper quiet generator and legit dc converters. The company also says their converters can be ran in parallel to produce more amps. His motor runs full power.
trolling motor to battery to ?amp 12volt converter/charger to 110 volt genset should be no worries for small genset running converter/charger up to 80 amps converter charger MUST put out more amps than your motor uses Battery acts as buffer for variable amp usage of the motor excess amps charge the battery😀
Where do you get an 80 amp 12 vdc charger (for cheap preferably) Id like to know. These boxes cost $50, I own 4 of them for higher power applications-the run in series and parallel no problem
@@ProlificInventionsearch generator running trolling motor and a dude running a setup on his bowfishing setup will pop up. I believe the converters are called power max. They say you can run them in parallel for more amps. On of their converters goes to 100amps
For the money this was the cheapest way to get a constant 12v 480 watts, They don't make 40 amp continuous duty battery chargers cheap, if at all. So if you hooked up the average 10 or 20 amp charger to the battery you'd only be inputting 120-240watts . If I hooked this box to the battery connected to the motor it might be too much input and burn out the batteries. Now I have one of those 1200 watt Amazon boat motors to test on my slightly bigger generator with 4 of those boxes for converting the power to 48volts and the required 1200watts continuous. Someday I'll finish the hybrid outboard I'm making that is going to use an AGNI motor I have, or a 5kw motor from some old weird racing scooter I have paired with an old retired tiny 4 stroke boat motor with a compression release so I can run it as a hybrid gas/electric, probably burn it out, but it will be fun nonetheless.
Most battery chargers run at 10 amps/12 volts = 120 watts, this trolling motor can consume 40 amps continuously (480 watts) Some battery chargers have a 40-50amp jump start feature but will burn out and are very inefficient in that mode as well. I suppose if you used a battery as a buffer you may be able to extend it's range that way, but dangerous. The Gizmo actually fell short on power so I daisy chained 2 of them together and it worked perfectly. I later routed the exhaust underwater which quieted it down alot. It was a fun experiment.
@@relaxingnature2617 it's 40 amps at 12 volts DC=480 watts, a household circuit is AC 120 volts, or about 4.8 amps-but you need to convert to DC. The Gizmo as you call it is a very useful tool for doing this, AC 120v into high power 12 volts DC
@@ProlificInvention I understand it needs to be DC ....I had this same generator in boat idea myself for a few years ..I was going to use my battery charger ..but as you explained, it won't be able to turn the prop fast enough ..I use 9 big battery's each time I go boating and want a better longer range solution ..I can go 20 miles against current , wind and chop , idd like to farther out but I'm always turning back because of battery ..itdd be nice to run my generator so I could cruise indefinitely and only carry 1 or 2 battery's ..idd sure like to see a new video of your setup working ..even in a barrel

do you think you could run this same idea using a 500w power box? (eco flow river2 max)

Outstanding post. Thank you!
Glad you liked it, thank you for watching and commenting.

From 0-48 Voltage...
Why not just use the generator and a battery charger and just keep the battery charged with the generator

All you need is generator + a 12v battery charger ..you don't actually need that gizmo
Most battery chargers run at 10 amps/12 volts = 120 watts, this trolling motor can consume 40 amps continuously (480 watts)
