[QUOTE="bAcKpAiN, post: 382816, member: 169"] I understand what you are saying but aren't the speed control switches wired into a foot pedal where that kind of juice isn't flowing? I know my battery life varies greatly depending on my speed settings. Don't all trolling motors already have some sort of variability built into them? If you were building one from scratch (plain dc motor) I would see the need, but not a comercial trolling motor with speed settings already built into the design. If i understand correctly the OP was looking to replace the canned speed settings with a variable linear speed control. I guess they have different types of speed control all together ? [/QUOTE]
