I have the 81 Lb. thrust powerdrive with autopilot and wireless remote on my 22 ft pontoon. It works fine. I hardly use the foot pedal. I found that when the batteries get low the wireless remote contriol will go into a protective mode by shutting off and turning to the right. If I hook up the pedal I can use the motor with low battery. It's great for trolling and the autopilot works pretty good.
