Review on Get Ultimate Control With Aquos Black Haswing 24V 80LBS Electric Trolling Motor For Bass Fishing Boats - Precise, Energy Efficient And Ultra Quiet Operation! by Daniel Elgee

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good for the price point but needs a few things included to make it 5 stars

Item seemed like it was made of quality materials. It was packaged well. Install was fairly easy with materials supplied. It is nice that I can lock it to my boat with the supplied mount and remove it easily from my boat when not in use; the mount was included in the package. It did not come with a fuse or circuit breaker. I ended up purchasing a power disconnect so that I can remove the motor from the boat when not in use without having to pull the cables from the batteries and remove all the tie straps that I used to fasten the cables to the boat. I also bought a circuit breaker for over current protection; would have been nice if they had indicate the rated amperage and supplied a breaker of fuse for circuit protection. The supplied power cables were not long enough to reach the batteries where I have them in the boat versus the bow mount. Also, the only instructions included in the package were the ones that told me how to install the mount; its a good thing I am a mechanic who knows and understands principles of electricity and mechanics/physics. The foot control works well and is very large - no problems with being able to hold your foot in place at the heel and make the buttons work - will need plenty of deck space to place the foot control. I had a little trouble with it not doing what I wanted it to on an occasion or two but it eventually reacted and made the change that I wanted after 3 or 4 seconds. I have not tried the blue tooth remote yet. 80 pounds of thrust might be a little small for my 27 foot boat but it does move it; should be plenty for a smaller boat. If they would have made a larger motor, I would have bought one. For the price of it, an equivalent that I was considering was more than double the price and one with spot lock GPS would have been even more. I hope the durability holds up well and the motor goes for several years. If it does, then it is well worth considering to buy another one just like it rather than going for one of the other brands I was considering.
