Heres some thing else for you. I have a motor guide on my boat and with in three months or having my new boat my I lost my low range 3 speed. Okay no big deal it's under warranty but their are no motor guide repair facilities in Utah so I have to send the dam thing to AZ or Cali to get it repaired out of my own pocket. My buddy has a 109 motor guide and he lost all of his low gears he has to troll around the lakes on plain because he too doesn't want to send it in right now and be out of a trolling motor for a month.
Okay I also have a good friend in AZ that bought a brand new stratos the came with a 70lbs thrust minn kota and with in a month he lost to speeds but minn kota didn't mess around with him they just sent him a new trolling motor instead of giving him the run around.
So they both have there problems but it's all about customer service and motor guide hasn't been very nice to me. If I was a smart man I 'd learn how to repair motor guide trolling motors and become an authorized repair shop and make some money because I'd be the only one in Utah and Idaho to be able to fix them.
