Summary:

This project was a collaboration effort between Dane [Website] and Myself, the goal was to convert a gas power trolling motor into an electric trolling motor. The main motivation for this was to allow us to use it on a lake that had restrictions on gas-powered craft, but no restrictions on electric. The main reason for this is the lake used to be an active reservoir, so many restrictions are still in-place to keep its clean.
