Boy if these were in the $1000-$1500 range it would be ideal for my Lo Voltage...anyone know of any other similar links like this?

Yes, I've seen their advertisments in wooden boat magazine! Don't think I could cut them up to use in my application...it's just wrong!

There was some ole boy on here that laminated wood over a minnkota and it looked like a rudder above the wader line. Below the wader line you could only see the wheel... Nice touch he did.

I'm planning on using the engine mounted MinnKotas in Fergal's second link there on each hull of a pontoon boat.

I emailed the distributor about it and found out that the company doesn't recommend them for use for primary propulsion.
I thought that was strange since their entire job is to push the boat around all day long...

I think I posted the reply in a discussion here somewhere.
