Sales at AQUOSPRO said the diameter of the shaft on the Haswing Protruar 12V 65lb. thrust trolling motor is 1.1 inch which is slightly less than 1 1/8 inch.
I did a comparison between 2 x Chinese make trolling motors (same brand - Haibo) 1) the manufacturer cost of the 54lbs was 22.32% lower than the 65lbs model (54lbs=$87 / 65lbs=$112) 2) the thrust was 20.37% higher (54lbs vs 65lbs) 3) the current saw a -14% decrease (54lbs=50A / 65lbs=43A) 4) The rpm was also -2.94% lower (54lbs=1700rpm / 65lbs=1650rpm) *CONCLUSION* : The 54lbs was 22.32% cheaper; the 54lbs was 2.94% faster; the 54lbs had only 20.37% less torque! HAVING SAID THAT - One should compare price/thrust/power/current/rpm speed - these statistics tell an interesting picture!!!
I've had the protruar 1.0 for 2 months now and have used it alot. I have to say that so far, this is the best trolling motor I've owned. I purchased this as new open box for a reduced price. There was no manual for it. That being said, I can't find an online manual either. Not as though I really need one now,I I noticed some features that are not referenced on there site such as a connect and disconnect beeper feature and if it hits something or gets tangled badly,it will beep and shut off. These features are awesome but I only found them by trial. I don't understand why this isn't mentioned in any of there descriptions. You would think this would be a great selling point.
@@joaovictorf.carvalho458 I have mine on an Intex excursion 5. If you're not familiar with those they're fairly wide and flat,flat bottom and a round bow so they're not very dynamic but still get around 5 mph which I think is pretty good. If it was on a kayak or canoe or even an inflatable with a keel and pointer bow you'd probably pick up a couple mph more. Definitely a bit faster and more power than the Minn Kota 55 that I had on it and a lot lighter also. A bit more noisier though.
Thks for quick reply, I know the intex 5, 5mph on it is very good, my boat its a costco tobin sport canyon pro for 3 person. I'm just starting, I have a minn kota max 40 and I'm thinking on upgrading on near future, Have you seen about people talking on using a rc airplane model propeller? Its the apc 10x6 if Im not wrong, it increase speed in 20% and decrease also the current. Thnx once more for the info
@@joaovictorf.carvalho458 No I'm not familiar with the the rc props but I have put different 3 blade props on my Kota 55 and this protruar also. I've tried the kipawa 3 blade on my minn Kota and it's better the the 2 blade stock prop, has better speed and better in the weeds. I also tried putting it on the protruar and it wasn't good. It didn't balance well and lacked power. On the other hand, the motorguide machete 3 worked great on both of them but had to do a slight mod by adding a thicker washer.
Hey i thought you did a vid of the head removal on this motor but i cant find it. I am wanting to know how many wires run down the shaft and what size they are. Iam going to be getting one and want to relocate the head to my seat. Thanks
I understand this video was 5 yrs ago but I looking at purchasing a electric outboard motor. I Came across a protruar 3.0 for $500. My question to you is are they good trolling motors or should I go with the newport vessel nk300?
Thinking about upgrading my trolling motor but I am seeing all the comments about not being able to get parts if something breaks. Any Comments Aksman?
Looks like a great trolling motor, love the fact that it's light weight. How much do those cost? And could you eliminate the head and hook up the wireless trolling motor pro to it? I currently have the 46lb Newport vessels tm with the wireless trolling pro, but it's still pretty heavy.
As Donald Bradner stated it is $299 total price shipped from Haswing Outdoor on Ebay. The wiring is more complicated than standard TMs because of the built-in PWM. A typical PWM unit probably won't work. I am currently modifying mine and will post a video when completed.
Aksman Their is black cord with 5 wires coming out what kind of cable is that? Somebody said it was cat5 but don’t look like the cat5 from the store. Try to extend the head close to the seat please help
@@Aksmaniyak I know your comment is 5yrs old but here is the explanation, regular pwm controllers that we have seen on videos related to trolling motors are for brushed, the ones for brushless have three wires, good pwm can be found related to RC hobyy, example: hobbywing, castle, etc..
Thank you Bill. Haswing trolling motors are rated for fresh and salt water use. I only noted the amp draws at no load and max load. You could estimate amp draw at in-between speeds.
@@Aksmaniyak ty.I have an intex seahawk 3 ,will i be ok with that motor? so the low speeds are really low,i dont want to run too fast at low speeds,do you think that max speed generally is 5 miles/hour as usuall to motors of 65lbr ? ty!!
I have also owned a NV 55 lb trolling motor. They are a quality product. Kayak speed is based on many factors; hull design, total weight payload, weather/water conditions...etc. Increase in thrust does not mean increase in speed. More thrust will just get your kayak to the same top speed faster with all those factors. Most kayaks with trolling motors have an average top speed of 4-5 MPH. If your only reason to upgrade the motor is for more speed, it will not make a noticeable difference. I hope this helps.
Can you possibly tell me the diameter of the shaft? I made a motorized steering system that fits a 1 1/8 shaft and I'm hoping that is what this is. Thanks.
I bought a newport vesseel 55 kayak series in amazon 3 days ago and today amazon cancel my order due a shipping delivery damage issue and now im lucky to see this video from you again with this option that will be my way to go: AQUOS Haswing 12V or 24V Transom Trolling Motor for Saltwater, Freshwater Fishing on amazon if you have a link from amazon i can buy it with your link, but finally after all this year do you still recommend it? Or what did you think about the one i send you? Im just waiting for amazon to refund me. only 14 pounds is amazing!!...
I’m buying this motor next Friday. Question for you do you think a 40amp Marinco twist plug and receptacle would be ok for this? Also what size manual circuit breaker would you use?
Sorry for all the questions. Just want to order the right stuff. Do you think I should use 6 gauge copper wire or will 8 gauge be fine for wiring? I'm wiring a Jackson Cuda 14 and may use the front big opening for batteries or maybe the center long hatch. So might be 10-12FT of wire run. Also When you extended the head up to your seat what size wire did you use?
No problem Chris. I ran 10G for the +/- battery extensions and it works fine. As for the head wiring, I do not remember what the exact gauge was. I took a sample to Radio Shack and they matched it with a 4 conductor telephone wire jack extension that worked perfect. I twisted, soldered, and wrapped the connections. I hope that helps.
perfect thank you. I actually think i saw one of your videos now that you talked about the telephone cable not sure which one it was, but i'll find it thank you so much.
Watching the boat going in circles doesn't give you a sense of just what speed it can do. So that part of the video wasn't a .very helpful demonstration. I still have no idea of what speed it can push the boat.
It was to demonstrate maneuverability. Most trolling motors propel a kayak between 4-5 MPH. It is based on many factors like, hull design, payload, wind/weather conditions. Speed with the same motor can be different from kayak to kayak so speed is not really an important factor.
Hi. I'm hoping u can help me out here. I bought my 1.0 a couple years ago and I can say it's been great. I broke the speed handle and have been trying to contact the seller who is haswing2018 as well as haswing outdoor and haswing USA. I have emailed and phone messaged them only to get no reply at all. Before I purchased this, I contacted haswing outdoor and was assured I could get parts if needed. I'm very frustrated at the total unprofessionalism with this company and there disregard for there customers. I'm guessing if I have a hard break, I may as well throw it away. Unless I can find a place to get parts, this will be my last purchase with this company. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks.
I have not had any problems contacting Haswing Outdoor. Sometimes they can be slow but they always get back to me in at least 2 days. What email address are you using?
@@grahammarshall6135 I put a meter on the motor at WOT and got that value. Actually, for good water/weather conditions, the prop should be at that depth for best results. The deeper the prop unit, the more drag is produced and therefore higher amp draw.
Thank You for including the amp draw at full throttle !!!
Thanks Gary.
The manufacturer says the max amp draw is 50 amps. And...the video says 2hp, but the manufacturer says 1.0 hp thus the name 1.0. Anyways...
Also I was going to order, but no extra props available. They are out of stock!
I like Your professional background - priceless :-)
Haha! DIY via Harbor Freight.

The motor may look different, but the extension wiring was the same.
was you able to build a pwm for this trollmotor?
I'm wanting to get rid of my NV mk180 24volt system and use this with a wireless remote pwm.
You do not need a PWM with this motor. It has a digital speed controller already.
What is Diameter of shaft; can you measure with a digital micrometer to get inches and decimal reading? Thankyou
I don't have the trolling motor anymore to measure it. It was smaller than the standard MK 1 1/8" diameter.

Hi Ralph. I have never owned a Hobie so I do not know if it will fit.
Do you know how wide it is? Needs to be about 3 1/4 inches or smaller to fix in a hobie drive.
Thanks
is there a 2 blade prop that will fit on this motor?
I have never looked for one so I do not know.
I have a jon boat but like my trolling motor in front. Are you able the switch the head/handle around?
Yes, it has a set screw/bolt like most TMs.
