Review: Works flawlessly - Absolutely love this trolling motor. Works flawlessly and install was a breeze. Have had this on my 19' center console, 16' center console and its currently on my 20' center console jon boat. Motor is nice and quite but has a ton of power, and the remote is nice to have on your neck to adjust as needed or throw in spot lock. Definitely recommend
Review: Nothing better than a minn kota - Powerful trolling motor, probably overkill for my 16ft jon boat but excellent product.
