Mounting and Power Considerations
When selecting a location for the foot pedal, observe these
considerations.
• The foot pedal communicates wirelessly with the trolling
  motor, so you do not need to connect it to the motor using a
  cable.
• You can power the foot pedal by connecting it to a power
  source using the provided cable, or by using two AA
  batteries.
• If you prefer, you can mount the foot pedal to the boat deck.
  Mounting hardware is not provided.
