[QUOTE="richg99, post: 409412, member: 4376"] Over the years, I've had a number of different trolling motors. Even owned a Powerdrive, too. I thought the power drive was too slow to react. Right now I have a bow mount Minn Kota 45 lbr. It has a cable foot control and, candidly, I don't like it. The steerng base moves around too much and the cable is too stiff, IMHO. I think the setup that I liked the best was a transom mount; reversed head; home made mounting, manual TM, mounted on the bow. I think it was easier to deploy; easier to steer (manually) and I spent more time fishing and less time correcting where the d#$% thing was going. Of course, if I wanted to spend thousands or more, I could have a self-deploying; remote controlled TM. But, I am not going to spend such a lot of money for a TM on my little tin boat. Just the way I feel. richg99 [/QUOTE]
