shopping for a trolling motor help please???

Yes the handle can be removed and put back on at 180 degrees. That gives you the ability to turn it on and let it drag you backwards. You can steer with your feet, I find that is the best. I have been also running mine forward. I turn the handle so it is pointing backwards and the motor goes forward. I then drop the oars in the water going forward and run it that way. I get about .4 MPH faster out of it this way. There is less drag with my feet and legs out of the water. I only do this going into the sturgeon hole. For trolling I run backwards.
Next you will want a on off switch. I use this one and it works great.
