I am trying to make a scooter out of a 12v trolling motor. dc to dc step down converter and green works 60v lawn mower battery. The trolling motor has a switch module that has 5 speeds forward and 2 that are reverse. The speeds are activated by a rotary dial.
I would like to put the housing inside the round 6" pvc pipe but I cannot figure out how I can seal it from water getting in, especially since the pipe is convex. Ideally I would want to have the switch outside the pipe and have it on some sort of handle so I could use it like a motorcycle throttle. But doing that I would need to get about 5 wires outside the housing and waterproof the switch somehow. Any ideas how to make this happen?
