I added some gas to it from a can I had around and it may have been really old. I will drain all of that out and get some high octane gas and put in it for next time and see if that makes a difference. I may be just too much pressure on the $50 dollar motor that has lived as a pressure washer up until now. I am also going to move the AP so as to make the prop a little less efficient. I think that may make it a little easier on the motor (sacrificing some thrust). I was messing with the trim but not yet satisfied with where I ended up. And as luck would have it it was high tide so no skinny water to be had.<\/p>\n<p>I will do more testing to get it dialed in. I think I have accomplished my goal of proof of concept. Some lights, registration, and a blind to finish and the I will be ready for the season.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iWxbbsnEZ-k?rel=0\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17482 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/wavewalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Twister-Mud-Motor-Test-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wavewalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Twister-Mud-Motor-Test-2.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/wavewalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Twister-Mud-Motor-Test-2-200x100.jpg 200w, https:\/\/wavewalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Twister-Mud-Motor-Test-2-640x319.jpg 640w, https:\/\/wavewalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Twister-Mud-Motor-Test-2-768x383.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wavewalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Twister-Mud-Motor-Test-2-1024x510.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wavewalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Twister-Mud-Motor-Test-2-1170x583.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>More<a title=\"kayak fisherman and duck hunter from Washington state\" href=\"https:\/\/wavewalk.com\/blog\/?s=henderson\"> kayak rigging, fishing and bow duck hunting with Chris \u00bb<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Chris Henderson &nbsp; Put the anti-ventilation plate (AP) on the Twister kit and was able to get one of my sons to go out (also a friend saw us test running and had to stop).
