[QUOTE="LonLB, post: 169878, member: 4391"] I've been thinking about a setup like your talking about for a few minutes now and have an idea. At least for steering. Have a metal bracket built that matches the threads on your push/pull cable. Basically just a the male threaded portion. To that weld a U channel to the threaded part. Basically you would have this UO. You could clamp the U to your transom a distance from your motor. Screw the steering cable nut to the new brackets threaded stud (for lack of a better term)...Have clamp machined that fits around the trolling motor shaft. It needs to clamp down to the shaft, and have a hole for the steering cable. Slide the cable into the sleeve, install the pin, and your done. This won't address your throttle input, but you could wire up one of the remote foot trollign motor switches. The ones that can be wired in to regular trolling motors. [/QUOTE]
