I have a friend that is going to help me with the install that is an engineer for another boat company. He has done this many times but I wanted to make sure of the specifics regarding a Basscat. I was hoping that Basscat would chime in here at some point. Why do they not recommend a hotfoot? I have never had one but will feel more comfortable being able to have both hands on the wheel and able to control the trim with my finger. I dont like having to let go of the wheel with one hand to control the trim or throttle at 70 plus mph. Any help here is appreciated.
