I need some electrical help. I ended up putting my transducer on a trolling motor shaft that I removed all the motor and wiring from. Worked fairly good but turn rate was a little fast. I bought a variable speed board and installed in line with the power going to the turning motor. Works great turning one direction but more it won't turn the other direction at all. Should i have bought a different kind of controller board? Thanks in advance.
Replied to your PM.

Hello sir, I am about to attempt this build but I have a Terrova and won’t be mourning it to that. Your pictures for the alternate deck mount that your friend had aren’t showing up, would you mind re posting those if you have them please?
Don’t know what happened to the picture but here is a copy.
I also included the latest PDF build sheet.

Hey there Mr. Bill. Thanks for the build info! I can't wait to get started. I've got almost all the parts ordered, but wanted to see if you would share what diodes you purchased for the limit switches in the head unit? There seems to be a lot more selection criteria than I was prepared for lol. Thanks again!
I think it was like this one. not very critical.

Finished mine up did a bit of a watered down one to start using just a remote for control works awesome Thanks for all the time you spent on setting this up and answering question.
That’s Great, I tried to design it for flexibility. Hopefully you can build the base unit for less than $100 and add features as you find a need for them.

If you have any old trolling motors that you don't work, or just not going to use, you can disassemble it and use as a mount for your forward facing sonar. All you need is the shaft and the mount. Run the cables up through the shaft. You can take the electric parts out of the head unit and use the handle to turn it in any direction. There are plenty of old trolling motors lying around people's garages and at garage sales. I saw this on a you tube channel called Adventures with a Purpose.

I am starting to build this. Thank you Bill and all for doing such a great job. I was wondering if anyone has a design for a mounting bracket for the Garmin Force.
what did you program a plc by chance?
I need to correct this: Use these diodes instead of Rectifier diodes, they have less voltage drop on reverse current.I think it was like this one. not very critical.
