[QUOTE="Butthead, post: 247999, member: 637"] I went from a PD to an edge as well, but just because I sold it with the boat it was on. PD is nice in that you can control it from anywhere and any position in the boat. There does tend to be a delay in the head turning, it only turns at one speed, and the turning motor is not super quiet. I had little experience with foot-cable TMs so I got used to it quickly and really loved it. My buddy, who grew up using the foot-cables, could not stand using it, so I went with the Edge this time just to be nice to him. My PD unit had the quick release button. Push it and the whole unit could tilt up. Wasn't too hard to do it quickly. I think it would be easier to just loosen the shaft depth knob and then pull the whole head and shaft up when you get close. You should have enough room to do that and not hit anything on the trailer. Plus, you can set the speed, put it on continuous run, and control your direction by turning the TM head with your hands.
