I like the concept and I am sure you will pull it off, maybe show us lots of picts as I may want to be a copycat...........................
I was thinkin it was lookin like an automated chain dropper......maybe next week.
Hey Tom ...
Where do you get your linear actuators ...??
(And the 12v control mechanisms) ...??

Linear actuator comes from Servo City. The CNC linear rail, mount and slide bearing I ordered from Amazon (piece parts). I have a waterproof reversing switch coming from ebay. All parts are over the counter.
Putting this on my Jon boat. There Lowrance skateboard creates one heck of a rooster tail and slows the boat 2-3 mph. I just installed stick steer, so I am making it easy on myself. Don't like walking around in the Jon boat. It is only 14t and I lost my sea legs last century.

hey canepole, im wanting to do something similar, i want to add stick steer to my boat with the 160lb thrust motors( its the kind that normally mounts to a out board) except i have no out board.not 100% sure if im gonna go with the store bought unit for 1000 bucks or buy my own lower units and try to make my own bracket ..id love to see how this comes out for you. is that gonna be a tilt/trim type unit that your making
Smoooooth Tom. Great idea.
Need pics lots of pics please.
I would have never thought that a transducer would slow down a boat.
You ever seen the size if that TD it's big!
Still adding things to the Pondtoon! My 1672 is being built right now. Steve is doing some nice additions for me. They hope to have it on a truck heading north to Penna. the week of 15 Dec. Will have all winter to play in the garage and get it all rigged out. Going to put a 20HP Mercury and a 55 Power Drive V 2 Bow Mount Minn Kota on it.
I would spend the xtra monies and add a 30hp. MHO.Quote:

Wish I could! I will be using it mainly on Penna. State lakes where it is electric motors only or Max 20HP!!Quote:

What do you feel the main differences would be? I'll check it out a little closer. Thanks!!Quote:
