I got the thrusters and controllers off from eBay then then both of them to my router run my wires engineered a dead man switch which one the ring is pulled it flips the switch cutting the battery. All in all I got less than 50 bucks. Simple velcro held the controllers
So, trying to figure this out (because I like the idea, and my brain muddled your explanation).
One dead switch for each, which you use as a pair of thrusters. Both switches pushed, full throttle forward. One switch pushed, full left or right. Is the vertical piece you use on the boat a rudder? I'd like that better, variable forward, "Oh Crap" port or starboard. Maybe with a rudder lock. Maybe (stage 3) a variable rudder lock.
Overall, two thumbs up. I really like it. What is the thuster's combined power usage (trying to figure battery life/size)?
Edit for better clarity, I think faster than I type.
That's a damn cool idea. Can you give us more detail about your set up?

Awesome, thanks. Have you field tested it?
That's where the game warden. Top speed not quite a jet ski but faster than a trolling motor. And that was pushing a 10-footer
