    Default The Wizzard remote control trolling motor


    Ran across this the other day at a junk shop. I can't find any information on this model. Seems ahead of it's time. Electric steer with a foot pedal similar to a Minkota Power Drive. Certainly ahead of it's timeName: 20211017_122305.jpg Views: 230 Size: 76.8 KBName: 20211017_122343.jpg Views: 175 Size: 45.7 KB

    It is a pretty neat set up. Has the wiring dry rotted on it. Otherwise is was in great shape by appearance Some of the Western Auto stuff was innovative.

    Did you inquire if it still worked? I found this for ya, I know it’s outboards but pretty interesting.

    I would think it still would work. It is just brush motors switches and wires. There will be varying stages of a resistor banks to vary the speed. It would be pretty sharp on a period bass boat. It would need rewired.
