Hmmm, well I have to look at this objectively, but long story short, I hated it. I never wanted to take the trolling motor durning his down time for re-ties. How many co-anglers don't want that? I was a co-angler on a boat that had one and I didn't like the fact that you had to turn direction first and then hit go, then hit stop. Then turn to the next direction, hit go, then hit stop. Good luck on a windy day. I guess I am used to the instant response of cable foot control. I don't like the powerdrives for the same reason. The beaping on that thing sent me to anger management classes. Personally I thought the unit was noisy as hell at the prop. Also, before you buy it price out the remote control unit if you loose one. If I recall they are about 100 bucks to replace.
When I fish tournaments, I don't like to take my hand away from rod and reel to turn direction, nor worry about tap to turn, tap to go, and tap to stop, beep beep beep beep!
I guess I'll just say this, fish out of a boat that has one for a day and you will see how annoying that thing is. Just my personal opinion, but that was a baaaad day on the lake if there is such a thing!
Sorry to come off so negative but I really did not like this unit if you could not tell!
