trolling motor control switch

[cool][#0000ff]Works both ways. You can manually push the button for short bursts...or you can pull back the plastic lever bar to depress the button and stay in place as long as you want.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I set the motor position with the set screw when setting up my tube for the day's fishing...so that it runs straight backward. Then I have an extension to set the speed. Most of the time I leave it on 2 or 3, for short moves. But, if I want to move further faster I crank it over to five and click the on switch until I get there. In the tube you do all the steering with your fins...hands free.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]One of the additional benefits of having the on and off switch...at least on the tube...is that it provides protection against having the motor turn on while you are getting things set up. That happened on one of my first runs and I got some deep cuts in my hand from the prop.[/#0000ff]
