Kayak Trolling Motor hookup

Decided to hook up a trolling motor to the kayak so I can get where I want to faster especially if its miles away. I hurt my back recently and at least if I can't peddle or paddle I will be able to get out there for the fall. I'll post more pics as I move along. This is the battery box/motor mount the motor is a MinnKota 40lb thrust 5 forward speeds and 3 reverse. It should move the Hobie pretty good.

Finished it up today now all that's left is to get it out on the water and try it. Looks like it will work pretty good.
