JABBO,
I am also making a hand control for my V2. I want to keep my foot control intack so I can switch back and forth depending on what type of fishing I am doing at the time. I want to find a cable or I will install different plugs. I would like the get a cable if you find them. I work with electronics and planning on adding a burst/letoff button that can be used while fishing in windy conditions. This will be a pararell circuit of an additional (burst/letoff) 1K variable resistor to the (running speed) 1K variable resistor with a double pole momentary pushbutton to open running speed circuit and close burst/letoff circuit for a momentary speed adjust. I hope it works like I think it should. I have ordered the parts and going to work on it next week. Thanks JABBO for sharing your info.
