There are 3 wires running to the speed dial and 4 wires that operate the activation lights on the bottom right. There will be no need to cut the epoxy pod. It is held in by 2 screws.
The only difference in the one Jabbo and I was looking at is it was a 36 Volt system....Your idea sound like a good one, but getting too involved for my simple brain. The only thing I have is the foot pedal and no trolling motor to try it out on.
