Would there be anyway to add a toggle switch to my trolling motor that i could flip on to act as if my foot is on the switch to engage the motor?

 

On a calm day, i may want to troll the bank and a slow speed and not have to stand up front with my foot on the go button. 

On a windy day, to hold my spot in the old trolling motor, i will have to keep moving in low or medium to stay put, or high to slowly troll. 

 

It would be easier to add this option and be able to sort of add my own redneck GPS Hold button, per say. I am pretty sure its just a copy of the wires going to the switch but unsure about how to get it all working properly. 

 

Here is the link to my troller's wiring for reference.

Also, it is only wired as 12v currently. Sometimes i hit the 3 way toggle and doesnt work. So a little help on that wiring would be appreciated as well guys!

Your trolling motor doesn't have a constant setting? I've never owned one without it and Ive had plenty over the years

Nope! It’s an old one lol 1996

Should be able to splice into the wires just before and just after the foot pedal pressure switch and add a toggle. Just splice into it but leave wires hooked to pressure switch this way when the toggle is on its just bypassing the pressure switch and with the toggle off you can still run using pressure switch
