The best toy i ever bought

[Hlleonard]

Man, that is EXACTLY why I got rid of the AutoPilot that I had on my boat when I first purchased it. It was a seriously expensive motor, but all that expense was built into useless technology. I sold it for less than 1/2 what it was worth to a guy on here.............THEN I added a few bucks to the money I received and purchased a Minn Kota 70 / 24v system with cable drive.

My biggest issue was turning the dang thing. AND it's horrible method could be heard half way across the lake, so I guarantee the purty brownfish in my vicinity could hear it.

Yep, dropped that product as quickly as I could.

Now, don't get me wrong........it was FANTASTIC for pointing and forgetting and fishing. GREAT. But if I needed to navigate as fishin stated, it was very hard.

Later,

I bought one of the power drives a good many years ago, I guess the gps wasn't an option then, I took it to the lake one time and returned it and got a cable model... The problem I had with it was I couldn't tell what direction it was pointed in without looking at the thing and would end up with the wire wrapped around the shaft of the thing so it didn't work for me at that time but now I'm a totally different fisherman than at that time, I spend a lot of time fishing bottom cover and it is tough keeping the boat located... I'm up in the air as to whether or not to get the model with a foot pedal also as I do a fair amount of moving through standing timber looking for fish with the depth finder.... It's amazing how different crappie fishing is than bass fishing.

The foot pedal doesnt help it turn any faster. He said you do not want to be in standing timber with it period

Good to know as this sounds like a real down fall to this product. However if one doesn't ever fish standing timber it sounds like the shiznit...

That may be a drawback for me as I like to fish the standing timber at caverun... I'm probably going to get it and cuss it when I fish caverun... Sounds like I might as well save myself some money as the foot pedal adds $150 or so to the price, thanks
