So I'm in the market for a new trolling motor. I'm using an old motorguide 762V (62 pound 24V) foot-controlled bow-mount trolling motor that I bought used off craigslist for $150.
My previous bow mount was a Minn Kota 36lb All-Terrain, which I preferred the foot pedal compared to the motorguide design.
I'm trying to decide if it is worth buying the i-pilot option. My boat is 17' and fully decked. Most the lakes I fish are electric only, so the trolling motor is used alot. I spend most my time fishing for panfish. Starting to do more bass fishing. I don't currently troll for fish.
Currently trying to decide between:
Minn Kota, Powerdrive V2 70lb with i-pilot, 54" ($924)
Minn Kota Maxxum 70lb, 52" ($729)
I have no experience with the i-pilot or wireless controlled trolling motors. I've read reviews online, but they mainly seem to come across as advertisements. So looking for peoples opinions regarding the i-pilot system.
Thanks in advance.
