{"product_id":"handheld-remote-speed-controller-housing","title":"Handheld Remote Speed Controller Housing for Trolling Motors","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere is no purpose-built handheld controller housing for kayak trolling motor setups — what exists is improvised: food containers, GoPro housings, or a full PWM unit with the pot and rocker mounted directly on the box, which is clunky and not designed for cockpit use. The Handheld Remote Speed Controller Housing is a purpose-printed PETG shell — UV, heat, and impact resistant — sized around a Bourns PDB18 series potentiometer (7.20mm shaft, M7 x P0.75 bushing thread) and E-Switch R1966 series rocker switch (13mm x 20mm panel cutout), with a back cover and four screws so your build closes clean. Justin has run the same housing on over 100 trips across two seasons on a Vanhunk Mahi Mahi 11' with a 36lb thrust NP Trolling Motor — no failures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandheld Remote Speed Controller housing (PETG — UV, heat, and impact resistant)\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\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's NOT Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePotentiometer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRocker switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWiring or connectors of any kind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandheld Remote Speed Controller Cradle Mount (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePWM controller (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilders who already have their electrical components and want a purpose-designed housing to finish the build cleanly — not a sourcing project.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHousing openings are sized for a Bourns PDB18 series potentiometer (7.20mm shaft opening, M7 x P0.75 bushing thread) and E-Switch R1966 series rocker switch (13mm x 20mm panel cutout).
