Thoughts On Hand Trolling Motor Foot Controll

Featured Replies

  • Super User

I have a hand control TM on the deck of my stratos with 3 "BIG FOOT" foot switches. You still have to give it direction and adjust speed by hand but on/off is foot controlled. Kind of the best of both worlds.

Don't think they thought that one through. I fished for years also with a hand controled motor. It gave me way more control over fishing without having to use my foot. I had a long handle on mine. Plus like the above I had a switch on both sides. Old Dimmer Switches that went in the floor on autos. I could fish a bank and not have to keep my foot on the peddle. Now I use a Terrova and have the best of both worlds.

I fished a hand control for years with 360 degree steering[Motorguide]. I loved it. My fishing partner hated it. I had a foot-control on/off switch available from BassProShops. I had to locate my bicycle seat as far forward as I could get it. Seat base also available from BassPro. I've since bought a new boat and am sorry to say its not configured for hand control.
