Thread: Terrova hand control

I have a friend who bought a homemade "wired" remote for his power drive. I am studing his and going to try to make me one. Will keep you up to date on the progress.

I'd like one of those too. Been looking at getting an extra foot pedal
and robbing some of the guts out of it, but ain't got around to it yet.

We have someone in Cochran that has made a lot of them for the old MK. I talked to him about it and he told me that you can't buy the cable without the circuit board attached. He said there is no problem making me one but that I would have to bring in the foot pedal and he would cut it off and wire to a hand box...Hate to not have a back up and foot pedals are pretty expensive..Can't say for sure but that's what I've been told anyway...I've even went so far as trying to find me a barely used or reconditioned motor so I can keep my current box.

Hey AUTiger, if you don't mind, could you ask him how much it'd cost?
If we sent him our Terrova pedal - if that's how he wants to do it.

Got a few more questions, minor stuff - I'd like to see a picture of one of
his hand-held deals. I've heard of them, think a guy in the club I used to
fish with has one, but I never got to look at it up close... Thanks! Jeff

See if you can get a picture of what they do. I may be willing to buy a pedal for conversion.

I think it is in the $100 range...I'll check on it today for you.

Thank you!

I was unable (so far) to get in touch with the man that makes them, but I talked with a friend of mine that has one. He says he paid $100 for his 2 years ago. I can try and take some pictures of it for you. Its not very big ( a little bigger than a pack of cigarettes) and he has it mounted on his armrest and loves it. I am still debating on whether or not I want/need one....Sure is tempting.
