Haswing 12v 55lbs Electric Trolling Motor Bow Mounted Trolling Motor with Foot Control with Quick Release Bracket

Completing changes the way I fish in my 18’ pontoon boat, easily holds my boat in a stout wind. The motor was an easy install with the quick release and the remote makes life so much easier. No issues with install. The trolling motor pulls my boat with authority! I was shocked at the power and speed. Great buy and I highly recommend this for and pontoon boat under 20’. Get the quick release and when it’s time to swim you can leave the trolling motor at camp.

I made my own installation setup up for this motor due to the small size of my bow. I've got a 1987 Reneill Beachcraft, 16' and weighing in at 1740 lbs. The 55 lbs of torque were plenty for this boat. My first trip out was with 5 people (total weight of 753 lbs), a small ice chest with drinks and ice, a group 27 deep cycle battery (for the trolling motor only), and a lot of fishing gear. This motor moved us with no problem. Steering was great, power was good at 10% for slow troll, and at 50% it really moved us quickly. The hand held remote was fun to play with. I let everyone else fish for awhile and I just controlled the motor with the remote. No issues, fast response, never lost connection. The foot pedal is a dream. The heal pedal swivels nicely, and the buttons on the pad were very easily depressed for quick action. The foot pedal and the motor itself has the battery life indication on it. I ran the troller for two hours and it never budged the indicator light. This motor uses a low amount of power. I added in the quick disconnect plugs (also purchased from Amazon), everything super easy to connect and disconnect. The troller comes off easily from the quick disconnect and is very manageable to move by hand. Highly recommend this, especially if you're looking to do what I did. Any questions, please hit me up.

I finally had a chance to take my 1436 John boat out this week. I have the 46” 55lb thrust edition of this trolling motor. It pulled my boat great even with wind over 10mph that day I was able to maintain a good speed and catch some fish. The remote made it very easy to control from the back of the boat. I have not tried out the foot pedal yet but I assume it is just as effective.

I’ve had my boat out about 4 times now since installing the Haswing. I’ve been pretty happy with it.Pros: Has auto on from speeds 1 - 10 Having both foot pedal and remote are nice. Battery life has been really good. Setup was pretty easy.Cons: The unit hangs over the bow by design. There was no thought on the added fish finder cable so my cable hangs and cut in half after pinching during first use. I came up with something using a spring to pull away from that happening again. The foot peddle could be engineered better. It function but not great.Year follow up. This thing is the best you can buy for your money. Had it a year and it’s been great. I use the foot pedal when casting lures, and remote when finess fishing. Holds true in the wind. Auto troll is great when moving town the sides of the lake.

I like having a remote with the foot pedal so that if I get busy doing something, I can still steer. I wish the pedal was more low profile so my foot wasn't so high. I also wish the power on was in a different location on the pedal or less sensitive to the touch. When I rotate between the other buttons, I sometimes turn the power off. Other than that, very powerful and sturdy. In fact I recently had it out was going down the river there was a tree down. Because of the current I could not avoid the tree and it smacked the trolling motor while it was out of the water. I was concerned that I had just blown the trolling motor and my money. Put it down ran it not a glitch. Definitely recommend.
