    Talking Bow Mount trolling motor


    Greetings all,
    It's a "SNOW DAY" hallelluah! My question is has anyone ever heard of converting a bow mount pedal controlled trolling motor to a hand control? It's a 1994 Motor Guide - works great but I hate the "foot pedal" control, too much clutter. Probably less trouble to just buy a new one but I thought I'd ask.
    Thanks all

    Yes and no..... I have a foot controlled TM but do not have suitable place (horizontal) for it to rest. So the previous owner mounted it vertically and mounted a metal 1" pole to the pedal to steer with. I mounted a TM momentary switch on the floor next it.


    Picture of the TM switch I installed..


    As far as removing the foot control completely I have not seen anything done like that.

    very neat idea
    It's not the numbers or the size, it's the time spent on the water!
