New Trolling Motor

[mrklean]

Looking at upgrading the trolling motor this year I see Cabelas has the Minn Kota 50 PowerDrive V2 on sale this week, anyone have one or any experience with this motor?

I bought one last year and couldn't be happier with it. I have it mounted on an old 16ft Sylvan and it seems to have plenty of power. I got it for the same price as it is right now. I don't think you can really beat that price. I was able to find the co-pilot from someone on this board for $50. This is my first bow mount so I have nothing to compare it with, other than a 36lb stearn mount.

I had one before I got my terrova. Worked well.

Looked at web site. that is a really good price.

It's a solid motor except for the foot control IMO. I went through a foot control every year before getting the terrova. I've gone five years on the terrova and I'm only on my second pedal.
