yeah, way ingenious !! I just don't like those clipped wire ends
on the handles - they should be filed down smooth or have some
kind of protection. Short piece of 1/4" loom maybe ??
I bought a trolling motor off a guy last year and he had a similar setup
with the white PVC lattice in his garage which is very cheap and easy to install.
and, it has no sharp protruding cut wires.
