Trolling motors

[mikroe]

I have a question about trolling motor controls I have a '89 tracker fish and ski with a motor guide foot operated trolling motor. My problem is I have MS which means I have a lot of leg and balance challenges. As it is I put the foot control on top of my tackle box and work it with my hand. I was wondering if there are any hand controls. Kind of like a joystick maybe. I know I could just get a tiller type trolling motor but I'm trying to get away from buying a whole new set up

Both MinKota and Motorguide make trolling motors with a remote control,..

Unfortunately it would mean making a upgrade,...........

Look up Minn Kota i-pilot, that'll give you an idea of what's available. I had a chance to use one once, it was great.

"CoPilot" is the one I have. Only cost about $130 to add it to my Minnkota-works like a charm,and still have available foot control just in case it's needed.
But your foot control has to be electronic,not the old cable type.
