Mikeg asked me to post this pic so all could see how to make the conversion to hand control.

"This is a prototype of the foot control with a hand control, bolted to the foot control of a minkota foot control. I hope you can see the two black dots one at the top and one at the bottom used to bolt it on. You could possibly make one out of wood but the one I looked at was metal. Just leave the two bolts slightly loose to tilt the handle to the left to turn it on and off."
