thankyou for taking the time to do the review Urban.

I am interested in the motor but I don't know how well I would do adjusting to the foot pedal. I've been using the PD series pedals for so long I think I would be all screwed up.

It really is a shame that the PD pedals fail so easily and the motors make that clunking noise when you stop. I've used all the major brands of trolling motors and foot pedal styles and I really think that the flat PD pedal is the best pedal style there is. You can put it anywhere on the deck and it's almost flat so you don't get any fatigue in your leg. With a few small fixes like making the pedal so it doesn't break, making the head turn faster and making it not clunk when you stop, Minn Kota could have a really great motor. Someday someone will get it right.
