- Installing my Watersnake Geo-Spot 65lb electric motor onto my little boat.
Using the nylon quick release bracket, I mount the setup on the bow of my Fishing Boat Project. I had previously installed the Watersnake Nav Sensor and couldn't wait for the motor to arrive so I could test them out together. Now to add water and see how they perform.
Hay mate. Is this the 60inch one? And if it is do you think it would suit a 4.4 runabout?
You would have to measure the bow height to the waterline to see what shaft length you need, all boats are different. Cheers
Hi mate, thinking of buying one myself, how long did it take to install the motor? Cheers
Depends on your boat set-up, theres videos on my chanel doing it. Cheers
Do you need a sounder to run the gos or does it do it by itself
Nah, the electric motor does its own gps. Cheers
Have you trimmed the shaft shorter, and if so was it complicated?
Not yet it was still under warranty
Hey mate What battery are you running for the watersnake cheers
Hi, I'm only running an old 100ah deep cycle agm battery, it was stored at the farm for 6 years before I used it, its still holding up well, I would recommend a 125ah or the lithium ones if you can afford it. Cheers
Hi. Not sure if you still run this trolling motor. Would you mind giving me your honest opinion on this motor and if it is good value for money. Thanks in advance and kind regards.
Hi, so far its been a good reliable motor with a lot of features for the price. Cheers
Thank you for your feedback. Greatly appreciated.
Was going to get a haswing but these more budget friendly how you finding it cheers bud
Good so far, cheers
@@coasttocountryaustralia Does remote run on batteries
@@clarkster98 Yes, 3xAAA's. If you have an anaconda store nearby, use their price beat guarantee. About $1,500 for the Geospot 65lb/54" once they price beat. Bargain.
@chats5957 hey mate, I'm looking for the same motor around that price. Can you remember where you found it for 1.5k
Hi mate hows the trolling motor going any issues with it?
All good so far. Cheers
Hi mate what type of bolt or screw AND glues do you use to drill through aluminium?
Nice video. Thanks for sharing
Hi, I use 316 stainless steel screws and bolts and marine sikaflex glue, you can use roof and gutter silicone if you cant get sikaflex. Cheers
@@coasttocountryaustralia Thank you.
Also just noticed you got some amazing video collection. Great CZcams channel. Instantly subscribed 😁
@@naokoktm Thanks hopefully I will have some more when I catch up a bit!
Have you used the geo spot yet mate if so how did it go
Yes, I need to do a video on it soon. Works great, I used it in some strong winds, big current and swell and it held position within about 1-2 metres. In better conditions the boat stays still. Cheers
Hi Mate How u going? Hows the new electric motor going. Cheers
Good thanks, holds really well in the wind and tide, hopefully going fishing tomorrow so I will try and do a quick video of it if I can. Cheers
Hey mate i have the same motor, what i find annoying sometimes is the cord gets all twisted around the shaft. Have u had this happen? If so, any solution?
Hi, I put the extra gps puck on the back of the boat and it hasn't twisted since. Cheers
Hi mate how's it going any issues yet?
All good so far its still working fine. Cheers
thanks @@coasttocountryaustralia
