[QUOTE="Ray Clark, post: 521941, member: 31103"] Your experience was just like mine. An old Motorguide 43# thrust TM with foot pedal control. Impossible to effectively control with the foot pedal. That's probably more a knock on previous owners who failed to lube the control cables. I replaced mine with a Minn Kota Powerdrive. Eventually added a ProNav system that allows either remote control from smart device, a fob, or the original Minn Kota foot pedal. The whole setup was about $1800 new. If new isn't in the budget, then I think keeping an eye out for a used unit is probably your option. Watch Facebook Marketplace, eBay, Craigslist for used units. Since Christmas is coming up, I think there are likely to be a number of used units hitting the market as users receive new units as gifts. [/QUOTE]
