the 12-24v i have was giving out slowly.i guess the hard fishing i did this past weekend did it in for good.ive been hearing bad things about the motorguides,the minnkoda is looking better and better.i was thinking of getting a transom mounted motor,but the transducer is right in the way,all it would be seeing is the motor.
stopped at gander mountain to take a look at the minnkodas.not bad.there running a sale on a lot of things.bought some j-plugs for salmon,3 for $7,there normally $6 each.a lot of other things on sale.
greg,i got the 50"shaft on mine now,with it almost down all the way in the mount,that is the head unit,it doesnt come out of the water in 2ft rollers.its been a good motor,never put a cable into it.worked great till last fall,then this year did it in.
when i get the new one,ill be selling the old one for parts.the pedal,slightly modified with a constant on switch,shaft,motor,cables,all but the mount,thats a little busted,the plastic is,everything else is there,ill even throw in the whats left of the jack nuts!!!
