Got my new motor friday and mounted it saturday. Went up to Deer Creek Sunday and gave it a good test drive. It is awesome!!! The remote works really fast. I had it on the wrist band(never even hooked up the foot control)and anywhere you happen to be in the boat, you just reach down and push a button. Go left, right, speed up, slow down, whatever. Not enough wind to test the auto pilot. It works great in calm conditions. Just aim at something and push the button. It keeps the boat heading at whatever you set it for.
I got the 24 volt model with universal sonar. The adapter plug should be here before this weekend. I'm going to hook it up to my Vexilar FL-18(that I haven't even tried yet) and give it a test drive next weekend. After running around all day, the battery guage still showed a full charge. Should be able to fish all weekend without even charging the batteries.
Awesome toy. If anyone is in the market for a new electric motor, I highly recommend spending the extra couple bucks and getting one of these.
Oh, we caught a few Walleye. I'll post an actual fishing report tonight if I have time.
