Are these off-brand trolling motors any good?

[QUOTE="richg99, post: 428370, member: 4376"] One thing that anyone considering an "off brand" TM is the availability of a replacement prop. I had an old Evinrude which worked perfectly. Hit a rock and broke the prop's blade. Even though lots of Evinrude props were available, none for the model that I owned. I tried buying a couple of "similar" props and modifying them. After two weeks of no fishing, I spent the money for a MinnKota. So, check availability and maybe even buy one spare, just in case XYZ company goes out of business. Oh yeah, the Evinrude ran backward versus the MinnKota. richg99 [/QUOTE]
