Right ON! I heard someone bought one of those foot on off switches and attached it to his pontoon foot pegs.
The problem is, you steer with your flippered feet. You can steer with a motor, but pontoons and tubes really aren't designed for this.
So you wear flippers and steer. With the foot peg mount, he had a hard time with the flippers on.
So, I came up with the FIXED position on the motor and all gears forward and reverse plus off anywhere on my boat.
This was originally thought of because of my float tube and power float days.
As you have already noted, it is hard to reach the motor controls from the front seat[laugh]
I am very interested to see tour set up!!!!!
