No one has ever tried or looked into this?

Why didn't I think of bushing? Guess it is just sick a different use that a regular bushing it never crossed my mind.

Anyone know what these things are called? They are in the holes on compartments where you stick your finger in to open it. I need 1 but don't figure out what it's called search for it.

I am asking because I got an older powerdrive trolling motor for really cheap and want to use my wireless pedal with it but it doesn't have the copilot system on it. It is really hard to find the copilot setup for the older square plug stuff (cause it is discontinued by Minn Kota) but the round...

Is it possible to change out the square plug on the older Minn Kota motors for the new round plug? I can't really find anything online of anyone ever trying it.

There is no reason you can't put the batteries in the back. As to the wire gauge, you have to account for the round trip when measuring the length of run. So if your batteries are 15 feet away from the trolling motor that is a 30-foot run. Low voltage suffers a lot from voltage drop over...

I am guessing that it is a 3 pin base and the 3rd pin has to be wired to a horn button.

Group 37??? You mean 27?

Looking at some of the pics on facebook it looks like the strap seems to sit low enough so that it wouldn't be in the way when sitting in the seat.

Hmm, I might have to look int these. All my seats need to be replaced in the boat I am redoing.

Why not just mount a clamp on transom mount trolling motor on the bow? Use plywood to level it out so that it sits straight and then just turn the control head around.

I will be painting everything inside the same off white color that it is now. The outside I want to do the same scheme that it is now with the red and then I haven't decided if the bottom will get painted a color or just clear coated.

+1 from me. Anderson Connectors are the best thing there is really. I even have all my electronics set up with the smaller 15amp connectors and have plugs all over the boat to plug in anything I want to them. I even have a plug on the front and the back of my pickup (175 amp connector) and...

Also, Should I paint the new marine plywood I am using for the floor? Would that help seal it better to last longer?

The wiring diagram seems fine. As for the main circuit breaker, add up the max amperage of all the components in your system add 20% and that should be roughly your main circuit breaker. That breaker should be as close to the battery as possible, if not on it. The reason for the main breaker...
