brian miller I don't have any build plans for the electrical setup I just did it all off the top of my head. I used this safety switch www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00DH3QHBI/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1. I used the switch to power the coil of this battery disconnect www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01GMPPYYI/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1. so the positive wire from the battery goes to one side of the battery disconnect and to one side of the safty switch the the other side of the switch goes to the positive side of the coil. the other side of the disconnect goes to the motor. also the negative from the battery goes to the negative on the coil and the negative to the motor. so when the coil has power the trolling motor works. but when the safety switch gets pulled then it shuts off power to the coil which shuts off power to the trolling motor. I hope this helps.
