Here is another possible approach. All wiring is between the box and the motor. All very easily removed. Switch mounted on the box. The battery box is screwed thru the bottom into the wooden seat. Inside the box I used a relay box from a later motor. but any Home Depot plastic box would do. The little gray box covers the start switch connections. My boat is small enough so I did not need to mount any buttons up forward. Battery is a full size car battery.
Somehow I can not delete the first attachement. Intended to show the last one instead. 🙂
