killing the trolling motor

[crosbyman]

As I wait for ice out…and surf the net I found this interesting device which in is some " big fish" panic situation could be used as a remote kill switch on my kicker. I know I could run a pair of wires up to the console to rig a kill switch on my "magneto" 9.5 kicker but this little tool will do it wirelessly..from anywhere in the boat by a fishing partner if need be. It needs 12V to work but that is available anyway.

In fact you may have other applications for it 🙂

well my wireless remote kicker shut-off came in …

tested it with a 12v supply and works great .. it will handle 10 amps at 30 volts (more than adequate to remotely short out the points)

a simple switched feed of 12v to the module inside the 9.5 kicker and hooking the normally open (N/O) contacts across the engine’s regular kill wires on the kill button should do it …..and no need to drill another hole in the console

if anything goes bezerk with the gizmo a quick disconnect joint will restore the kicker’s autonomy 🙂
