[cool][#0000ff]I am going to take a shorter and straighter piece of extension out on the first trip too...just to compare. All you need is something to be able to reach behind you easily to operate. All tubes and motors will be slightly different, and the size and body shape of each person...and their seating preferences...will be different too. You need to personalize it for the individual operator.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I am also installing a "kill switch" inline on the negative (black) wire of the motor. That will allow me to shut down quickly if I want to...and then resume at the previous speed when ready. It is also a good idea to have the kill switch engaged while getting set up and taking down...when the battery is hooked up. Saves getting chopped up with a prop or getting lines or rigging tangled in the motor when you don't want it to be running. That will be part of the final pictorial. I am using the "Big Foot" switch which is available on Bass Pro Shops and other sites. I got mine cheaper through Amazon.com.[/#0000ff]
