{"product_id":"handheld-remote-speed-controller-complete-kit","title":"Handheld Remote Speed Controller - Complete Kit for Trolling Motors","description":"\u003cp\u003eBuilding a handheld trolling motor controller from components means sourcing parts, verifying specs, soldering, and testing before you know if it works, this skips all of that. The Handheld Remote Speed Controller - Complete Kit ships assembled and field-tested: a Bourns PDB18 series B100k potentiometer and E-Switch R1966 series rocker switch (UL listed, File E121922) wired internally, a 5 ft. braided cable terminating in a JST-XH connector matched to your PWM, and the Cradle Mount included. Justin field-tested this unit on a Vanhunk Mahi Mahi 11' towing two loaded kayaks — three people, one mile at full power with a 36lb thrust NP Trolling Motor, still reaching 3.5 mph — and iterated through 2 potentiometers, 2 rocker switches, several CAD revisions, and 2 PWM controllers before this spec was finalized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandheld Remote Speed Controller housing (PETG — UV, heat, and impact resistant), fully assembled and field-tested\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4x BT3 x 8mm socket head cap self-tapping screws (H2 hex driver, black zinc-nickel plated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBourns PDB18 series B100k potentiometer (installed, soldered)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eE-Switch R1966 series rocker switch (UL listed, File E121922, installed, soldered)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 to 4 ft. braided cable with JST-XH connector (terminated at PWM end, soldered internally at component end)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandheld Remote Speed Controller Cradle Mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's NOT Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePWM controller (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT-track rail (uses your existing kayak track)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnglers who want a finished handheld trolling motor speed controller, no soldering, no component sourcing, no assembly, who already have a compatible PWM controller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe JST-XH connector is terminated and tested with the Briidea 2nd Gen PWM and HARMNEE PWM DC Motor Speed Controller.
