Need recommendations for pontoon trolling motor

[Tom523]

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.

Tom,
Do you dry your hair with the trolling motor on full tilt?

[Tom523]

Yeah! That copilot comes in handy in the morning.

I have a 22 ft Bennington with a 24 volt 65 lb thrust MinnKota. It's similar to this:

I like it because it has a quick release and comes off in about 2 seconds, plus, it frees up a lot of space when your not fishing. I have the electric steer and haven't had any issues and I'm going on my 3rd year with it. I have not been disappointed with it's performance. That's my 2 Lincolns....
