Would you consider buying me a cup of coffee if you find my work helpful in any way? if the answer is YES, then you can do that by clicking this link: bit.ly/LUV_COFFEE ☺👍

[@lonellrodgers8539]

Awesome video! I've been looking for a good video on soldering and wiring in the detent 10k pot to the servo! The only difference in mine is I'm going to have the ESC and servo in the same box as the potentionmeter. Thanks again!

[@FFHTV]

Awesome! I'm glad the video helped you out. 😊👍

[@BillyBFishing]

Awesome video. I wish I could find a foot pedal with a pot built into it for use in my boat with this same setup

[@FFHTV]

Thanks Koepa! That would be cool! Maybe one day! 😊👍

[@StanleyGraczyk]

Do you have any recommeendations for a 24v system I'm trying to find what ESC to buy I've burned through a couple PWM's from amazon and trying to go a different rount. I have a small pontoon on a small lake that I use. The trolling motor is a 82lb thrust running on a 24v system.

[@scottcarver6113]

Can you share the name of the second throttle arm you showed? I’d really like something like that for my build. Thanks

[@FFHTV]

Hi Scott! Yacht Speed Control Box - It's linked in the video description 😊👍

[@ianhenderson9593]

Amazingly helpful and detailed video with some great instruction., very professionally done, thank you for sharing. I have a very similar ESC set up driving my Ocean Prowler 13, but my soldering skills are limited and both times I have been out so far, I have lost power due to fragile wiring on the modified servo board, the glue gun is great idea to beef things up and make the wiring a bit more solid. I have a Watersnake 24Ib thrust motor, in your experience what is the optimum level of the propellor in relation to the underside of the hull? Thanks again FFH

[@FFHTV]

Thank you ianhenderson9593 for the comment! 😊 The way I adjust the prop depth is to mount the trolling motor where it is going to stay. I then adjust the prop depth to roughly 6 inches under the water using the top of the prop blade as reference. Now I run the trolling motor to full rpm to see if the prop cavitates while in motion. If it does then continue adjusting/lowering the prop depth until it no longer cavitates. I then lock it in at that depth and I'm good to go throughout the rpm ranges. 😊👍

[@tooncesthecat1366]

do you think this could potentially be used with a 60kg servo for steering. instead of drive and reverse, it would be used as right and left

[@FFHTV]

Absolutely. It's a servo controller so not an issue but you would need an input voltage of only 6 volts (not 12 volts) if running the servo directly off the servo controller connected to just a battery. 😊👍

[@Pr0ject2]

Could you just use the servo as it is without using the potentiometer?

[@FFHTV]

Yes. 😊👍

[@Pr0ject2]

@FFHTV ah that's good. I will attempt to solder in a new switch but in the very few times I've ever had to solder in my life, it's not been great 🤣

[@FFHTV]

Have faith brother! You can do this! 😃👍
