i've always used minnkota and i've never had a problem with them. but im lookin to upgrade my transom 40lb to a bow mount trolling motor.does anybody have any experience with these trolling motors and how well they hold up?i seen an 82lb bow mount new for $650 which i thought was a good deal and definitely overkill for my boat.but id like to think that if my outboard breaks down im not stuck with a 40lb trolling motor put putting back to the dock. plus on my boat i'll never really have to use past 2-3 so id get alot longer use out of it then my 40lb.plus it'll be on the bow so easier to control the boat.
