I do not use it often but after 3 years it still works like new, no issues. Moves my inflatable boat with 3 people just fine, speed around 5km/h (I can see it is about twice of speed of walking man), easy to install, easy to control, easy to adjust speed. Power consumption looks quite good. After an hour with 30Ah lithium battery it indicates full battery. I think, it is not correct as indicator is for lead-acid batteries but when I charge the battery, the charger indicates more than half of remained charge.

Great motor for less than half the cost of the leading brand. Saw prior review about water intrusion into the motor housing. So I took mine apart straight out of the box. Sure enough the wiring goes down the shaft and right to the motor. (See pictures). I used a tiny burst of Daptex low expansion foam sealant. Problem solved. Two ways this could happen: 1-Motor falls off your transom into the water and the power cords keep it attached. You pull it out and water would have gotten down into the shaft to the electric motor—ruining it. 2–water spray from a transducer gets into the head of the motor and enough comes in that the little drain holes in the base can’t drain fast enough and bam—motor ruined. Also I’d worry about salt spray getting down there—that’s why I took it apart and sealed it up. Don’t leave this motor outdoors—even with it sealed up, it’s not that waterproofed. The battery tester led’s appear safe from most water sources, but I’m betting dampness will get into the upper head of this motor and ruin it eventually. Time will tell. My advice is of course wash with clean water and store it in a dry (not even damp) location. But this isn’t a Minnkota and I didn’t expect it to be at this price! It’s less than half the cost of a MK riptide for salt water. If you need a motor to last 10 years of heavy use then go that route. I’m starting with an inflatable dinghy in a tidal lagoon for my first saltwater vessel. Went very cheap on the boat and the motor. I’m hooking this up to a very high quality AGM deep cycle marine battery. Goal is to just to not have to use the oars! The trim mechanism is very well engineered except for one more fault—the transom mount bolts stop about an inch and a quarter too short!!! With a 1” or smaller plywood transom now I have to “beef” that up so the motor will stay on. Stupid design there—this company’s smallest shaft motor and it’s designed to fit a 17.5 foot fiberglass boat not a small jonboat or dingy. This is not a big confidence boost I’m feeling for the company right now. (See pic). At any rate if your boat has a wide transom no modification will be needed. Comes with an in-line circuit breaker which is nice—though you better keep the salt off of it as well, it’s ferromagnetic so it’s going to rust.... Also the motor is definitely louder than my Minnkota freshwater trolling motors (I’ve two that have lasted 11 yrs). But, again, right now I’m just trying out the saltwater on the cheap. I will upgrade later if things work out. I’m giving it 4 stars for now based on the value. I got exactly what I’d expect at this price point. If it fails in any way I’ll update this post. I figure I’ll get at least 5 years out of this as I only fish saltwater when I’m on vacation. If you’re starting out on the cheap and are just seeing how things go, this is the motor for you. My next saltwater trolling motor will be a Minnkota riptide if this thing even stutters just once. Usually I plan to do it right the first time, but as I’m just getting my toes wet here I’m going on the cheap to see how I like it. I would never buy this thing for daily or even monthly use. Don’t trust the brand yet. If you fish a lot in saltwater, or stealth is super important to you I’d warn against this purchase. Also one more word of caution: almost all states will require boat registration if ANY type of motor is used, including electric only. So check the refs where you fish—I’ll bet you you have to fully register your vessel even if it’s a kayak as soon as you strap a motor onto it.

Me encantó, le doy una calificación de 10 de 10, buen material, indicador de carga, potente y seguro. Excelente avance y su reversa muy fuerte, a diferencia del Endura! Lo recomiendo porque esta marca se me hace superior a las demás.

After using this motor on a fishing canoe for several years in salt water I am very satisfied with the weight and thrust. It’s light enough for mounting at the end of the canoe, and it drives the canoe at a good clip without using a lot of power. A canoe or small Jon boat are ideal for shallow water, IF you don’t have to paddle or row them a long ways, at least at my advancing age. In very shallow water tilt the motor up and paddle as usual. Note that the battery cables are fairly short, so also getting extension cables is advised so both you and the battery are not at the back of the boat, which can tilt the front up. This was a fairly low cost motor but the performance and quality have been excellent. Wandering all over the salt marshes for crab and oysters is not an arduous workout now that we have this motor to assist.

Para su precio es un magnífico producto, aunque no es muy rápido es eficiente y suficiente.
