ABSTRACT:
A trolling motor on a bass boat is connected to batteries by closing a relay switch. Arcing at the switch contacts is suppressed by two capacitors, in series, nonpolarized relation, shunted across the relay switch. The relay coil is actuated to close the relay switch when a push button-type spring loaded control switch or a parallel connected toggle type control switch is closed. The two control switches are mounted on a somewhat flat control box for easy shoe clad foot operation. The wires from the control box are of sufficient length that the box may be placed at any convenient location on the boat. The trolling motor batteries may be charged without closing the control box switches.
