It looks sweet dunnit!!! Although I don't know why the camoflage... It's not hard to spot it in the middle of the river surrounded by water

I am still confused how you are meant to steer the electric though when it is mounted directly behind you... I have thought about the keyring controller for the bow mount motorguides & just mounting it on the back. Then clip the keyring onto your rod & control the canoe PS2 style


But when it comes down to it, it all costs money that I don't have, and I need the exercise anyway... he he he

Dan could you adapt the same steering as they use on the surf skies??...foot pedals
maybe the paint job cause they like fishing where no man has gone before.......and want to keep it that way

[Fishin_Dan]

The electric motors that are transom mounted are operated by rotating the handle to select speed, forward, reverse, etc... Steering is an easy one to modify (cables & a steering wheel in a canoe baby! ) but can't think of how to do the handle control.... Unless I get the wiring diagram for the switch, and then I rewire the thing....

Thanks Matt!!! > Now I've got all these thoughts of tricking up the motor to suit a Hotfoot "go" pedal and a small sports steering wheel....
