Hello i am not sure i am asking this question in the correct location if not let me know thank you.

We want to install a 2.5 HP outboard air cooled motor on our USV boat. the motor doesnt have a resverse only forward to go in reverse you turn the motor 180 degrees. So this is what i need to find is a motor or servo or some sort of equipment that we can connect to this motor that will turn it 360 degrees. Is there such a unit that we can install and will do this that we can control from a receiver?

@fisheye Welcome to the RobotShop Community. Your request brought the following video to mind (it’s set to play at the right time):

Is that the type of controllable trolling motor setup you’re looking for? Not sure if it turns 360 degrees, but likely has a reverse? Very odd if it didn’t offer reverse. RobotShop offers parts but no “out of the box” setup for what you’re looking for, meaning it would be a completely custom setup and you’d need to figure out wiring, waterproofing etc.
