Electric Motor on Pontoon, Questions

[ScottyP]

I can't find a link right now, but EvilAsh re-wired his trolling motor to a control pad on his pontoon. Pretty slick. Send him a P.M. and he could probably give you some ideas. There are also extention handles available for the trolling motors. I am in the process of motorizing my pontoon, so I am a little curious myself how to steer the best way. I figure I'd just trial and error my way through it and see what works for me. Also, from what I understand, most folks turn the prop around on the trolling motor so it pulles you backward (like rowing). Didn't know if you were aware. Good luck!
