[PSUBS-MAILIST] Wireless Trolling Motor Controllers?

[Jon Wallace]

Yes, my motor controllers can take radio input from a standard 5 or 6 
channel RC Controller and Receiver.  In fact it is cited as being the 
easiest input option to setup (the others being PWM or Analog).  I had 
not considered the benefits of a radio-controlled PSUB in terms of 
launch/recovery however I can see how it would certainly come in handy.  
Might need an external antenna on the sub.
