right. On the other question, there is no "best wiring by going to the motor first.... the electricity has to flow thru the whole wire circuit one way or the other. A better "circuit design" would be to run both wires (= and +) to the motor area and have a "relay / control" circuit right there that your slide switch "talks to"... then the wiring at the motor would likely be one heavy gauge and the control / switch wiring would be a lighter gauge. This maybe the setup if there is indeed more than 2 wires going to the motor / controller.
