I would hope to see:
Options
1. Red / Green Navigation lights built in (plus driving light/headlight). I had told Minn Kota, Motorguide and a Garmin Rep 2 years ago and most recently at the 2019 Bassmasters Classic in Knoxville about this.
2. Wireless operation. If motorcycles can safely run this way, a trolling motor can also. Get rid of the cables and wires Please.
3. Self Deploy. Only Minn Kota has a good one (Ulterra).
4. Communication with OUR choice of fish finder manufacturers (Dammit ..lol).
5. Built in underwater camera. (Similar to Aqua View).
6. Built-in sound device (similar to Hydrowave).
7. Built-In water Temp Sensor (and Air temp)
8. Of course, keep the price down! (Yeah right!).
