Making My Own e-Kayak System (and You Can Too!)

Designing, assembling, and installing an electric motor on my Hobie Lynx kayak to save over $1000! Don't be intimidated, this is absolutely a project you can DIY at home. I was shocked at how much money companies are charging for a repackaged Blue Robotics T200 thruster and battery. With just a 3D printer, the Blue Robotics thruster and Thruster Commander kit, and some typical electrical components, I motorized my kayak for a fraction of the cost of buying a similar system. 3D Models OnShape Project: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/52cc9937b2a32547a4dd014a Thruster Mount: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6808753 Electronics Enclosure: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6808756 Throttle Enclosure: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6808761 00:00 Intro 00:40 Disclaimers 01:26 Materials 03:58 Assembly 07:46 Install 08:52 Finished Product and Demo
