[Paddlewise] Trolling motor

I'm not advocating using a trolling motor on a kayak, but I can offer
solutions to 2 of the potential problems Dave raised in his post.

1.  Routing cables thru the deck.  Marinco (www.marinco.com I think) makes a
trolling motor plug specifically for this.  The female half of the plug
flush mounts thru a hole in the deck that can be sealed with 5200 or
whatever.  The male plug leads from the deck to the motor

2.  Battery gas problem can be avoided by using a sealed battery, either
gell cell or absorbed glass mat.  Neither gives off gas and both can be
mounted in any position, even upside down.
