Installing a Dead Man Switch for trolling motor

Post by Tonyb »

I use a trolling motor on my kayaks and would like to share how I installed a "Dead Man Switch". Without one, if you ever fall out while the motor is running it will just keep on running.

The parts need are a trolling motor and the Big Foot Trolling motor switch from Bass Pro shops ( or other sources you may find)
Put this on YouTube, so here goes, check my video out. It works great. https://youtu.be/raskpqSCoHU
The bigger, the better!
