I am using two Minn Kota drives, like you, and for remote control have removed the heads and replaced the twist control arm with a small 12vdc motor that I control remotely. So, inside the head is now a motor-driven potentiometer.
Its not obvious how you could simply remote that nicely designed water-proof control pot inside the Minn Kota head, so I kept it.
Then, to operate the motor-driven pots, I use a wireless controller from an RC car. Let me know if you want some pics of how its built inside.
