been out of fishing for ten years and lots of changes in that time. boat i bought had a 70 lb minn kota edge TM foot control. i'm 59 now and standing on one foot with that much umph is more than i want to deal with. looking to buy a tiller style bow mount but in looking at buyer reviews on some of the Motorguide (my favorite in the old days),the are really critical of the vari max. any pros or cons of either brand? willing to switch to Minn Kota if they've stepped up and doing the best now.
