Electric Motor on Pontoon, Questions

[EvilAsh]

30 lb. thrust Minnkota, take the screw out of the head that connects the head to the shaft. Turn the head 180░ put the screw back in. Mount it to your rear motor mount, use your fins to steer. There will be times when you'll shut off the motor to fish and you'll use your fins to propel you. You have much more control over your boat if you use fins with your motor. Drift fish with the wind, motor off. Use your motor to go against the wind. Saves on batteries. I do also take my oars all the time. If you want to get from point A to point B fast, row and motor. You'll fly.
Later on, remove the head, extend the wires and put the head down by your side or mount it by your seat. I took the speed switch out, epoxied it in an aluminum box from Radio Shack, installed a knob wired it in with about 6' of 6/10 wiring.
These are some pictures Scotty was talking about.
