I just got a bigger (endura 55) tiller motor to replace my old 30. Its bigger than I wanted, but it came from a work barter so I cant complain.

I use the small tiller motor on the back when I take a partner with me longlining, who cant run the front motor.

The 30 on "1" would push me at the perfect speed with a fresh battery, and then when the battery started to tire, I would just kick it up to "2." Im sure the 55lb is going to be too fast. I could just drag the sock, but I would rather not.

Can I hardwire one of the hand speed controllers that come with the engine mount trollers? Or another sort of "dimmer" type switch?

any help or guidance is much appreciated.
