Black Haswing Cayman 12V 55lbs 48 inch Bow Mount Electric Trolling Motor Lightweight, Variable Speed, with Foot Control/Quick Release Bracket for Bass Fishing Boats Freshwater/Saltwater

I have had this trolling motor since March, I was skeptical from some of the reviews but I ordered anyway. Starting off, the battery life is surprisingly good. I've trolled around a lake for several hours at various speeds, into the wind and with the wind. It moved my 17 54 War eagle at around 2.5 mph max speed. Battery was barely half drained by the end. I've seen a lot of reviews talking about the sensitivity and noise from this motor. The unit I received is extremely quiet! The sensitivity is kind of tricky but short quick taps of the buttons for an adjustment does the trick for me. I can barely hear it turn when moved. It works great for pulling planer boards, as long as you like to manually keep the track you want to travel. For 55lbs it definitely has plenty of power for a 17 ft boat loaded with gear. Build quality is very nice for a sub $1000 trolling motor. If you are looking for a good trolling motor with remote that won't break the bank totally, go for this one. You won't regret it.

It works well, but needs good tools to install. I'm really going to like this over my old foot controlled one. With UPS delivering it, don't plan on Amazon's delivery times or even dates. The shipping box was severely damaged, but internal contents are protected by Styrofoam and no damage. UPS does this to a lot of heavy shipments.

Very disappointed this is my second one of these . The first was on a mini pontoon. The turn gears froze . The second the mount was cracked and worked 20 minutes. I did get the refund on the second

This motor has the perfect amount of thrust and it maneuvers easily. It was easy to install and lowers well. I like the foot petal and love the remote control. I along with the motor being removed easy and it being able to be locked.

After looking around a ton, this one stuck out to be a nice value. The parts feel quality, the wires are thick and the trolling motor is responsive. Be wary that the Mount does hang over the boat on the Bow. Some previous mounts for other motors are further back. This one over hangs the bow about 5 inches. Watch some videos on the install. Since it does hang over so far, the install could be affected by the minimal space between the top of the bow and the Hull coming together. I imagine this is being installed on a smaller bass Boat (sub 18 feet). You do need to get inside the Bow/Hull space to get the Nuts on the bolts. You might be able to install using screws if the top of the bow is reinforced, but, the unit is pretty heavy and you would need to buy different stainless steel hardware. Once the install was complete on the mount, I moved to the motor. All the items on the motor were easy to install. Directions a bit lacking. I seemed to be missing a "hard plastic spacer" that is located inside the motor. Upon watching videos, I found a similar piece to fill the spot. I have contacted customer support, and awaiting a response (been 2 business days now). ****No reply yet from Customer service on the website. 9 days. The foot pad works great The remote was very responsive (be sure to charge this while doing the install, so it is ready - USB rechargeable) I am looking forward to using the motor, and will provide updates.

Trolling motor looks like it will hold up well very pleased how it was delivered

Only have one issue the hardware kit needs to be looked into

Excellent unit was very pleased with the quality and the value that this unit offered ,one trip on the water and I was very impressed
