[ranger6192000]

Do it yourself for under $200. Double that if you're having it done.

Triple that if doing it yourself and drive a screw through the hull!!

Ball park numbers:
Hot foot - little less than $200
Hot foot slide mount - less than $100. Makes install easier and nice to have
Throttle cable - $100 if required
Install - $300 / $400

When I install them for my customers, I always leave the throttle cable connected to the control box and disconnect at the motor and coil it up in the battery compartment in case of emergency. I run a new one as they need to be about 2 feet longer anyway. Cable is about $30.

Is this the (voice of experience) ?

Depends on who’s doing the installing. I have a hotfoot added to all my boats when I buy them (4 in the last 7 years), and a standard, non-digital one runs me about $250. The dealer may be cutting me a break as part of the boat purchase....

You only need about 1" screws or the job, this guy just a bit of overkill.

I believe a local shop charged me 1 ½ hours to install the Hotfoot and the blinker trim.

I bought a used Basscat with a screw through the hull. Hotfoot was installed by a boat repair facility. It doesn't have to be done at home.

Thats a fact..
Old friend of mine ordered a new Champion a long time ago... The local dealer rigged it and ran two of the four screws thru the hull.
After a legal battle they got him a new hull.
