Lookin good CP.
Finally got around to installing this spare TM. I plan to use it to reverse my boat when I need to back up quickly. We all know the Terrova is slow to turn around to reverse direction and I believe this will help some. These projects give me something to do. I had all the parts except the wireless stuff and it is cheap via china. I have a rail to hang on to when I raise and lower the TM (thank goodness). I need all the help I can muster.
I know this will work, but I dont know how effective it will be. Thought I would share the pics.

If you had variable speed for it,being it is on the back of the boat you could use it instead of dragging chains.
I don't need to fish bad enough to drag chains.

tom you are the one that can do it if anyone can.where did you get the wireless receiver and remote?

I found the wireless foot control on Ebay. The receiver would only handle a few amps, so I used the receiver to operate a horn relay which switches power to the TM.
Someone removed the button on the transmitter and soldered in the leads to the foot switch. I bought it this way. Handy rig.
