Anyone have the remote control for the MK? Im just not sure if I want a hand tiller or remote. I have a foot control right now and I dont really care for it.

The remote takes a long time to get used to. Sometimes it is better sometimes not. you don't have to be in the front of the boat to control it. and when you are trolling a bank if you have auto pilot it is nice to set it and go. Or around a rig it will keep you going in same direction or hold you on a spot pretty well. But if you are fighting a fish and need to move away from the bank/rig a tiller is better beacause you can just nudge it with your knee. Also can't spin it around as fast as a tiller. The remote one does not bounce nearly as much when stowed because the top is basically just a plastic housing, so it doesn't weigh much. So all in all it comes down to personal preference. Sometimes I think it is the best invention in the world and others I want to throw it in the water.
