I have a MotorGuide on a 22' CC Xpress.
I'm not sure what the MotorGuide model number is. It was bought @ 2005. Currently, it has a simple push button that I step on to control on and off. I control left, right, forward, and backward with the hand control.

Is there a relatively easy way to add a foot pedal that will allow me to control left, right, and on off?

You will be better off buying another TM with foot peddle control.

I’ve never seen one with foot control that didn’t have a 2 part shaft.  I don’t think you can make it happen.

It's doable, but probably not worth it cost wise. Controlling DC motor speeds is much easier than AC ones.

Motor speed isn’t the issue a turning shaft is.

Get a foot controlled TM.

I always enjoyed hand control with an extension and big foot on/off switch. I’m thinking about going back to it as my troller bit the dust about a week ago

I can’t imagine how it can be done.  Can you elaborate?

Yeah, that's a lot of typing. Not suggesting anyone do it, for various reasons, but essentially start with what you've got, and figure out where you want to end up, add or subtract the parts necessary. As Tom points out, the speed/direction thing is easy, the shaft rotation will require a bit of ingenuity. Collared top and bottom, with the right tolerance and a little preload adjustment, would just leave the shaft ready for whatever is going to turn it.  We've got 3 guys right now working full time on making functioning e-bikes from ones "totaled" by the manufacturers, and a franken trolling motor would be 10 times easier (but 1000 times less profitable) than that. Again, don't try this at home...

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply.

Looks like I'll look for a different trolling motor.
