Any body have some ideas on better wire management? I am running two smaller batteries in parallel and so far just have a Y harness that disconnects at the clamshells. The extra cord wrapped around the shaft is somewhat annoying putting the motor up and down.

Besides the wires, the motor does well where its positioned... swings the bow's around fast!

Both wires going in one hole behind that mount would look better ,less busy, but im not sure how under deck is.... in a pvc with elbow to keep water out ....excuse the rough drawing 😂

I leave just enough wire on top side for Deploying the troll motor and coil rest up under deck ?

Yeah one would be ideal. The deck is 1/2... under it is open water so I would have to run some sort of piping down into the hulls. I think I will just have have to recut and connect the wires to eliminate thee excess. My eyeball measurements did not do well on this one!
 
That thing looks like fun on the water 👍😁 you did a awesone job on it👍😎👍

Was wondering have you tried climbing back on after falling overboard? Yes i been watching SUP Videos they have their own way of getting back on also 👍

Thats a good question. I have not, but I'm nearly certain grabbing onto the grab bar and then sliding on the deck would be the way to go! Now that the water has warmed up I'll think to give it a try.
 
Yes my right side is just getting over being sore after trying the Neighbors SUP ,as i spent more time in the water and climbing back on than on the board 🤣 which made me wonder the best way to get back on your mini cat 😁

With the stability of the cat its really damn hard to feel unbalanced!

How much do you weigh? You look 185 ish
That is my brother who is a bit lighter than me. I myself am 190lbs. On the youtube channel I will soon be posting a video of me on the boat with batteries and a trolling motor which is apox 100lbs of gear. The acceleration was a bit slower but the top end was certainly in the upper teens.
 
Yeah i watched the videos you have already posted thats why i was wondering your weight, im 275 so stability takes on a whole new meaning compared to a guy under 200.
I got a Mexican & Puerto Rican Buddy that 6'-4" we were weighing at work he tops out at 316 lbs was 302 lbs i said you went from Ford to Dodge 😅 i stepped on scale hit 260 lb he said that Beotch weight 😅🤣😂 funny guy l😁
