[QUOTE="shootandfish1, post: 368224, member: 5184"] Thanks for replying. I should add that I have zero experience with trolling motors, only my second season of being a boat owner, a SeaArk 2072 with a 115 Yamaha. 'Armchair' engineering can only go so far before real world 'trial and error' experiences are needed. When I discovered the 'Forward and Reverse' relay and realized how simple my scheme (and CHEAP) could be, I was hoping for some notion of whether this idea was practical. No need to reinvent a 'square' wheel. Back tracking-For those using a transom mount TM for additional thrust and steering with a bow mounted TM, am I correct that the rear TM needs to be a manual model, set a speed 1-5, controlling 'off-on' with a separate switch, (like using the 'Big Foot' actuating a relay)? I'm assuming that this is not possible with a digital TM. Fred [/QUOTE]
