You can do this. I've got confidence.

You got that right dude! I take a photo of a light bulb before I change it and put a new one in so I'll be able to see how it goes back in! Seriously, I have done that many times doing projects like changing a ballast in a fluorescent light, or changing out a light switch. It works. At least the house hasn't caught fire ......yet! I think I'm just gonna go ahead and give it a try. Cheaper than a new trolling motor with variable speed. I'll post if I'm successful. If you don't hear from me, you'll know I'm enjoying my new Minn Kota Maxxum!
