Took it off, back to the store and replaced it. Mounted the new one and tried it out on a small local lake, 30 minutes later she was back on the trailer and on the way back to the house. Another call to MG to which they said take it back and replace it for another. I DID replaced it with a 24v variable speed MK and never had a problem since. To each is own and I will only own MK
I only use the Auto Pilot versions of MK. Having said that, I know of MK models that had all kinds of probelms just like MG has. I think the more important thing to do is consider the options and features that fit your needs along with the durability of models from each brand and choose that way.
