[QUOTE="Brine, post: 169891, member: 1053"] Yes, in place of an outboard. The thought was you could put a junk outboard on the boat and then mount one of the electric motors designed to mount on the outboard to handle the steering, but if I could wave a majic wand.... The steering wheel would be controlling a transom mount trolling motor. You're right about easier, and probably about cheaper, and that's the way I'm trying to push the decision. I'm not the boat owner, and some folks just want what they want.... I think this is mostly about the "kool" factor of envisioning sitting in the captains chair using the steering wheel and throttle while under electric power. Personally, I would just assume sit in the captains chair with the remote, or even the pedal. The idea with the bigfoot switch and fabing a bracket for the steering is as far as I have been able to take the concept, and your description of said bracket sounds better than mine. Thanks for the input! [/QUOTE]
