Jay, I am affiliated with a company that produces two products, one of which may fill your needs. They are available by ProControll, one allows you to place your trolling motor anywhere on a boat with a top rail no more than three inches wide and the other works off the transom and converts your hand controlled motor to foot controlled up to a 40lb motor.
