PETG · Field-Tested · Cockpit-Ready
Purpose-built PWM remotes for kayak anglers.
Most trolling motors have 5 forward and 3 backward positions, all of which waste battery. The Current Forge controller has 100 — and it puts this power in your hand.
5 CAD iterations
1–2 hours on the water, 2–5 days a week. The design on this site is the one currently in use.
American-made
Parts sourced and assembled in the US. PETG — UV, heat, and impact resistant. Printed for cockpit conditions.
Compatibility
Confirmed with Briidea 2nd Gen PWM and HARMNEE PWM DC Motor Speed Controller.
PWM precision. Right in your grip.
Every 5-speed trolling motor ships with a dial that skips 95% of its range. The Current Forge housing mounts a full-range PWM controller where your hand rests — so every speed is within reach, not just five of them.
Your 5-Speed Dial Skips 95 Positions You Actually Need.
Speed 2 is 40%. Speed 3 is 60%. Between them — 19 speeds you've never touched. The gap is where slow-trolling lives, where battery efficiency hides, where the fish are. The PWM controller gives you every position, every time.

Reel in the difference.
Left: 5 positions. That's the full range of your current dial. Right: everywhere in between — 100 real positions, each one a speed you've never been able to set.

Complete KitCompatibility
Tested and confirmed compatible.
Built and verified with the PWM controllers motorized kayak anglers are already running. Self-check: your PWM must use signal-only wiring to the pot and rocker switch — not designs where those components carry motor current directly.

"I completely understand not trusting a small online 3D print shop — I'd be skeptical too. American-made, start to finish. I source the parts myself to control quality, and I've tested this on the water with bald eagles overhead."
