I did a lot of research before I bought this trolling motor. I saved $80.00 on shipping and tax by getting it here on Amazon.
Took it out to the lake last weekend for first time since buying it and installing it 2 months ago. I put it on a 17' crestliner "fish n ski" deep v that weighs 2050 lbs. withought gas. I was told by a lot of people to get the 54", but i resisted and did the math and got the 48' shaft. it is the perfect length.
The installation was easy. The motor performed well even with 20 mph head winds. Although i like the old school foot pedals better. I was able to turn the pedal sideways and push up for left and push back for right.
The long cord is a major plus cause it was way cold and i could get behind the windshield, instead of up on the deck in the freezing cold.
Best buy for a trolling motor for $500.

Perfect on front of my 21 ft Lowe pontoon. Plenty long. Easy to install with hardware provided. Powerful enough for a pontoon. Foot control works great and was not sensitive to me, as another reviewer described. That is a personal matter, but I found it just right.

Takes up little room and I installed it at a bit of an angle so it stores on deck to one side for walking room, then centers when put in the water.

I made my own cord and clamped it so I can pull it up with that. My old one had a cord and this does not. I was used to the cord and find it handy so added that myself.

Good price, arrived on time, undamaged and works as advertised.

I used this trolling motor to move an 18' pontoon boat. It does an excellent job for me. I've used it in high winds, and it performs well. I highly recommend it.
