DIY Cruise Control and Joystick Throttle with Servo Steering for a Trolling Motor
In this video, I convert a wireless joystick throttle and servo motor steering control used on a trolling motor to a wired joystick controller. I also added a cruise control function that can be switched with the joystick for throttle control. The wireless version is a very popular project but the question of the remote waterproof capability led to this alternative. This controller can be mounted in a remote waterproof box depending on the needs of the user. I have included related videos in the narrative section.

After posting the original video for this project (see narrative for link), I was contacted by subscriber "Wali" with a solution to improve the steering. He stated that if I changed 2 programming items on the ESC controlling the gearbox motor, the force would be decreased from 100% to 25%. This would result in much smoother (and easier to control) steering. I made the programming changes and hi...

Awesome
Thanks Jerry.
Would you be interested in making and selling one?
Sorry, I have been asked many times but I do not sell the projects. I would not be able to warranty the parts.
Thanks, great video.
Thanks Chris!
@@Aksmaniyak I just ordered all the same materials. I’ll make mine 9” wide to accommodate two ring shanked bow eyes for my shallow water anchor and I’ll paint the stainless gloss black to match my color theme on my Gheenoe, but I appreciate the inspiration!
Glad to help Chris.
I am sorry but I don’t understand what role the servo board plays. Is it doing any analog to digital conversion?
There is a lot of info on theory available. The servo tester controls the speed.
@@Aksmaniyakcould you please point me at an article (and not a RUclips video) on the theory. Why not just connect the pot to the esc?
Just google for research on ESCs. A pot wired directly to the ESC will not work.
In case someone else reads my question here is the answer as I understand it (I could very well be wrong). A potentiometer adjusts a DC voltage from 0 volts to the voltage of the battery to which it is connected. While a potentiometer can be used to control the speed with a PWM controller, the Hobbywin ESC 880 requires a digital signal using a technique called pulse width modulation as its control input. The RC servo tester contains a circuit that accepts an analog input (from a potentiometer) and produces a digital signal as an output (see article en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servo_control). The other thing that puzzled me from all the various RUclips videos (of which Asmaniyak’s are among the best) is how a single knob will get you both forward and reverse. The answer can be found in the ESC 880 documentation. Item 11 specifies a default “neutral range” of 0.05ms. If the pulse generated by the servo tester is shorter than 0.05ms the motor will run in reverse. If it is longer than 0.05 ms the motor will run in the “forward” direction.
Thank you for great video. I have a question regarding voltage rating for ESC shown on Amazon is 6 volt; and you connect this ESC to 12volt LiPePo battery. Would this procedure burns the ESC?
Glad to help. No, the ESC regulates the voltage.
Thank you
Its there a way to lock the steering? Looks like the hotrc controller just lock the speed. Are you using the trimmer for that ?
The joystick does not lock the steering position. I suppose if you used a pot instead you could lock it but the stick acts as a kill switch too. The trimmer acts as a speed controller to smooth out the servo movements.
Im going to make an DIY autoboat with this idea . Its rare that nobody has try it yet. You just need to add a flight contoller with inav or ardupilot and will have a full autonomous kayak with anchor mode, return to home and waypoints.
I have seen some prototype info using the ardupilot but not at a production level yet. If I had the knowledge and skills I would have tried. i hope you get it working.
Will this installation work with only a brushed-motor trolling motor or will it work with a brushed or brushless motor? If I get a trolling motor with a brushless motor, do I need to get a brushless servo and a brushless esc? Will the Hot RC DS 600 remote work with a brushless servo and brushless esc? Thanks!
If you get a brushless motor you just need to buy an esc designed for it that can handle the current of that specific motor. Everything else stays the same . Esc are designed for specific types of motors and currents
Hi Aksman thanks for putting up this vid, know its been 3 years ago ,but its been very helpful in how i wire this PWM up as the wire up of the motor is not marked negative and positive,yourvid shows it clear how to so great referance thanks :) ,im in Adealide South Australia by the way :)
Thanks Adealide! You have a nice PWM company in your continent called Motion Dynamics. I have purchased from them before and it might be worth a look for you.
Spot lock! LOL! Love it!
Thanks Warren!
I’m ashamed I didn’t come up with this! The trailer hitch has been driving me crazy with the vertical pin hole not horizontal. Couldn’t find and adapters that would work and had vertical holes! Even worse I put those same adaptors on all my quads so I knew they were available!!’
Glad to help.
Thanks internet dad!
😆
When i click the link for the servo governor its no longer in stock. Do you have another governor that you recommend that will work with this set up?
If you check out the updated video, I use a different servo speed controller that you should be able to get.
@Aksmaniyak ive looked at all of the videos. What is the model of the controller? This is my first time attempting to make one of these and would like to make sure I have everything i need right. Or is the speed controller not needed ?
@@quentinsv1250 All the parts are listed in the narrative section. There is also a reference video.
I have been using this for 3 months almost daily now on a 55lb Newport. It's on an 11ft Zodiac inflatable. I put it in a project box, I added a fan directly on the heatsink, and another fan to move air in the box. So far I didn't have a single problem with it and I ran it for about 20 min at 35A continuously. I have a temp probe installed and it went fro m 28C ambient to 32C on load, which is perfect. If anyone is interested in the components: there are 2 channels, one for fwd and one for reverse. For each channel, it has 2 relays with no inscription on them (they look like 80A each, so 160A per channel), 2 flyback STPS41H100CG Schottky diodes (80A per channel, which seems undersized), 8 mosfets STP75NF68 (80A each). The Mosfets have proper gate protection. The 8 capacitors are 470mf rated at 63V. As a tip for anyone, I am using an APC propeller (10x5LH) instead of the stock prop. My speed increased from 3.9mph to 4.8 mph, while the max amp draw dropped from 48A to 34A. It's a huge battery saver. There are some videos on youtube with tests for speed and amps. Anyway, about the speed controller - so far so good, seems like a well made board.
Thanks for the update!
Best lifting design so far! Well balanced with reduced pulling force! Well done!
Thanks!
I have an oldtown 120 sportsman non pedal and bought a riptide 55 transom. what is the plate you used to attach this 😮
This was a BassYaks mounting plate.
What a terrible video
With the yak power system I'm wondering if you could use the same port to power your ex system as you do to plug in your charger as long as you weren't trying to use both of the same time.
Good info! I'm finally looking into the tiller steering method for my kayak as I move my NK300 back to my Native slayer 13. I have not been happy with my original homemade hand steering and the foot pedal steering when using it on my ATAK 120. I just find that with a powerful motor like the NK300 (3hp) the steering cables become hard to move, even with pulleys. My preference for the actual tiller is a thin fiberglass rod with flex on the end. I could run them through eyelets and the flex should allow raising the motor. I'm not likely to stand while running - too old for that!!! I'm even considering trying an old broken tipped graphite fishing pole. I'm curious about your opinion since you are one of YT's top kayak innovators, IMO!
Thanks Michael. You could try driveway markers. I used one for an outboard extension. Here is the link. ruclips.net/video/MmliRN_Th9Y/видео.html
@@Aksmaniyak Thanks - longest driveway markers I found were 6' and I needed a little more. I just produced what looks like a perfect tiller handle using old graphite fishing rods with broken tips, epoxying together sections to make a lightweight, strong 7' tiller with a perfect handle. I screwed and epoxied a stainless eye into the end and used a 12" yakattack track screwed to the triangle offset to one side to attach to the motor. It is extremely smooth and easy to control in my garage. I will be testing with the NK300 on the water in a couple of days.
@@michaell1665 Nice work!
Strictly speaking, this is NOT a servo because you can't move the motor in small increments to precise locations. From an anglers perspective, this is pretty awesome, but with an *actual* servo, you could have an Arkanoid style paddle that corresponds 1:1 with position / direction of the motor.
Yes, it does work great for this application. As for calling it a servo, both manufacturers of the components use that term.
@@Aksmaniyak now THAT i didn't know! I spent a few hours today researching Synchros and Servos because i was dreaming of something electronic but still a little more precise. :)
@@rootwad I spent hours researching all this as well since I really had no prior knowledge of the RC world. I still don't understand a lot...😁
@@Aksmaniyak I love the simplicity of the 2-channel remote setup! But i'm also an electronics nut and know there's a way to make the remote control be 1:1 and VERY snappy by using a different control scheme. A synchro/servo setup would be electromechanical and VERY reliable, but the parts are pretty obscure at this point. Servos and steppers are available which would be ALMOST as accurate, using a potentiometer for input. The key difference is that the remote would work like a steering wheel, where the position of the wheel sets the position of the motor. With a synchro, there would even be force-feedback from the servo on the motor!
@@rootwad I'm glad you are the electro-nut because I would look forward to seeing your idea work.
In the previous version you used a separate BEC that stepped down to 7.4v The 880s internal BEC steps down to 6v per the specs. Do you notice any difference?
I didn't notice any difference.
Servo not included!
Yep.
My MK is a 32. Is there a control board for this, or would I just get the board that you got?
This will work for most brushed trolling motors.
Your a genius this is exactly what I needed
LOL..Thanks!
This works perfect for my Ascent FS10 Kayak. I now have a triple layer Old Town Loon Hull and it does not pass signal through the hull.. Anyone have suggestions?
Glad to help. Are you getting any signal?
Ha! Wish I saw this before screwing on a 6” mending plate on my Crescent CK1 transom. But I got it done regardless :). Loving your videos and can’t wait to add steering and ESC sometime
Thanks!

Hi, do you sell them?
No, sorry. There is no way I could warranty the parts.
Wish it can work with the Aquos
Which brand and model?
@@Aksmaniyak the Brushless Haswing 12v 65lb
@@DlAM890 You could use the steering servo and relocate the Haswing ESC in a remote box.
I have haswing 12v 65lb 50a 600w trolling motor, will a 50a circuit breaker work or do I need a 60a circuit breaker? My battery is a 12v200ah.. thanks in advance
I use a 60A breaker on mine.
Hi this is great thank you. Can i ask if this a water cooled unit and if it has overheat temperature protection,??
Thanks. This is not water cooled and does have a overheat shut down function.
@@Aksmaniyak hi many thanks this is great. Can I ask which models in 12v have both,? Water cooled and overheat temp protection,if you know,?
Hi just to ask this does not have a overheat temperature protection,?
@@jhtwnetytwoplusone Yes it does.
Hi does it have overheat temperature protection??
How does the pot switch control forward and reverse? The ones I see for sale just show a range from 1-10.
It is a specialized pot.
why is it that people can use these type of kill switches on their trolling motors when they are rated for 5 amps? the maximum draw on the smallest 30 lb thrust motors is 30 amps. Being that these are normally closed switches how are they not toast after constantly being under an amp load that's significantly higher than what their rated for.
Because you have to understand how to wire the switch into the unit.
This is such an inspiring job! You explained it so well that I know that I can do it! Your electronics may be another story though...
Thanks! Just keep trying and learning.
@@Aksmaniyak Your pedal steering is great. Would it be possible to add the speed control to, say, the right pedal? Almost like an old-school riding lawnmower? That would make everthing to do with the moter handsfree.
@@Aksmaniyak You wouldn't happen to live in Michigan?
@@edrosenquist6541 Thanks. I suppose that would work but then you would not have a cruise control.

Have you been able to source the Servo Controller Boards from the US? Also, did the single female to 2 male splitter that you ordered work?
I could only find the board kits in the UK. Shipping is fast. No, the one I bought was not as good as my DIY one.

What exactly is inside the black 3d printed box?
Nothing. It is for the servo motor.
@@Aksmaniyak So basically an 8 volt battery eliminator circuit?
@@rickasisco What are you asking?
@@Aksmaniyak What is in the black 3d printed box at 2:48 - But I am fairly certain it's just a 8v ubec inside a 3d printed box.
@@rickasisco Ok, now I understand. That box is sealed and came with the kit. I'm sure it's just an adjustable UBEC set at 6V circuit like I used in another project.
Thank you. I ordered the one that you are using. I'll see how it goes
Thanks for the videos. Will a 6 amp constant 10 amp peak Bec work for this servo?
I chose mine as overkill but you should check the specs yourself to be sure.
HI. You have a video of how to program Hobbywing ESC LED Program Card? thanks
Hey, Aksman. Out of curiosity, why toggles over rivets? Thank you for the video and your time.
In case I need to remove it for some reason.
Will this work with a minn kota endura c2 55lb and 100 ah lifepo4 battery?
Yes
Great video! I noticed the server would steer the kayak in the opposite direction of the joystick. Is there a way to reverse this so the joystick point would also steer the kayak in the same direction?
The joystick steers fine.
Hey I did this to my kayak. When I start my controller and motor and go foward it works fine sometimes but for the most part when I throttle it in either reverse or foward for more than 3 seconds, the power seems to go out a lot and isn’t as powerful. It won’t go any faster and will stay loosing power until it just doesn’t work. Do you think this is my battery or what am I doing. Wrong
I answered your other post.
My controller when I installed this makes my motor go foward and all of a sudden just stops out of nowhere and goes randomly when I press. What could be the problems?
I would not be able to know without seeing photos of your set up.
Great stuff.
Thanks Stephen.
