Are these off-brand trolling motors any good?

[QUOTE="richg99, post: 436733, member: 4376"] Good discussion. There are times when it is right to spend the money, and times when it isn't. Occasionally, the decision is forced on to you. The kitchen faucet was dripping for the last week or so. This morning, yes, this morning, I decided to pull it apart and get a "repair kit". Shouldn't be a problem for an American Standard Kitchen Faucet, right??? Ha! FOUR different sources (the only sources in this little town), didn't have the kit. Two Hardware stores, one plumbing supply house, and Lowes. I came home with a new O-ring. Pulled hard on each little spring to lengthen them. Smeared some Plumber's Grease on everything. Put it back together. Voila! No leaks, no drips, everything works. The total cost of repair was 43 cents for the O-ring. Sometimes Cheap is the ONLY way to get something done. richg99 [/QUOTE]
