Any info on installing a 55lb Minn kota trolling motor for saltwater with remote control as not able to get the boat with the electrical deck outlet already installed so will be putting one in myself.Looked into ordering the b/w deck fitting but at $700 plus seems a little high when the motor is around the same price.Minn kota has a plug and receptical for less than $75,just wondering what is special about the b/w version. Any thoughts or suggestions would be welcome. Not sure how easy it is to access the conduit for the bow light and how much access there is to run a fish wire back to the console.I suppose the alternate way is to use the nav wire as a fish and pull new wires to both the nav and motor from the console,

Your 60HP Merc could do the trolling without any extra expense.
