I am planning to buy a new trolling motor soon. The question is Motorguide or Minn Kota? I have always used Motorguide but on the 54 lb thrust that I am looking to buy they all use the Gator flex 360 mount. The reviews on the Basspro website for any motor with this mount are not very encouraging.

What experience do you have with this type of mount on a Motorguide? Is the mount on the Minn Kota any better?

Thanks in advance for your response.
