remote troller steering

finally got around to finishing my front mount trolling motor steering project. I had previously mounted it all to a 2x8, but it was uglier then homemade soap and lacked a tilt function.

The speed of the trolling motor is controlled by a pot and a PWM, so i have unlimited speed control. One of the rocker switches controls the turning. (Need to add another for the tilt)

I'll probably try another actuator for the tilt to see if I can maybe get it a little higher.

I think it cam out looking really clean compared to the wooden version it used to have, what do yall think?

That's pretty cool!

put a limit switch on to control the tile. When I get to an extreme left on the motor it tilts up out of the water. Would like to get a little more, but was having a clearance problem so might have to relocate a longer actuator.


I think I'm out of the water when tilted, but cant water test until this stay at home order is over. :| just got my new 15hp Tohatsu today also. Drooling to get that mounted and broke in!
