I'm building a simple electric boat out of a salvaged jet ski hull and an old trolling motor with directional control.
The plan is to have a joystick controller for simple on and off (ie no speed control) operation AND reversing of current for reverse and steering.
The kicker is that I was unable to find a joystick that could handle the 35 or so AMPs that would be pouring through it.
I understand that I need a relay. So, I did some chatting with the Digi-Key folks and they sold me these two parts, however, I think the relay needs to be a dual pole.
Anyhow, even if I had the correct parts I don't know how to wire up a relay. Below are the URLs of the two parts I bought.

Attached is my rough sketch of how this will layout - ie two DC motors each needing forward and reverse.
I am a complete newbie. Any help or direction is appreciated.
Thank you in advance I'll look for your response.
