TM preference

[Starcraft01]

Pick you poison. Which do you prefer?

[Jig Man]

MG for me I don't like the big MK foot control with the button on the wrong side.

[fishbear]

I prefer the Minn Kotas, simply because of the flexible shaft.  I fish a lot of lakes with stumps, logs, etc....  and I have bumped into a few.  It is nice knowing the shaft will flex enough to keep it from bending on you.

Just mho

[Catt]

Minn Kota mainly because when you mount your transducer the skig on the bottom protects your transducer; I also prefer hand control vs foot control.

[Cujo]

MG  Those so called "Flexible Shafts" have broken twice on two separate motors.  I'll stick with the steel shaft.

[HPBB]

MG, but only the TOUR SERIES nothing else in my boat again

[IneedAnewScreenName9886691]

One that works.  Honestly.  

I have a MK maxxim 80lb on my boat now and have been happy with it.  I like slow ramp up start (instead of just full power it increases to the power you have it set on - I think it makes it more quiet to operate at higher power levels).  Prevents me from ending up in the water sometimes  ;D

[badbob]

I do not really have anything to compare it too but I just bought a 50lb

Minn Kota endura I have only used it twice but so far so good!

All the best, Bob

I currently have a MG 67lbs. thrust which works great, but I like the MK's foot control better.

[FishingBuds]

I've had MG but, just bought an endura MK 55#-did it for the feed back and also alot of motor for the price-$239 with a $60 rebate

Now somewhat with Catt is I've always used hand operative cause well just what I've bought, I never have used a foot operative one-never :-?

[garry77]

Honestly I have one of each.A minn kota foot control on my jonboat and a motorguide on my bass tracker.I like them both about equally as well.

[MemphisFisherman]

No contest for me really, Minn Kota wins hand's down.  In the cheaper model's you can just tell the frame of the MG's are built like crap.  I had a 68lb MG when I bought my boat and it was the biggest turd in the world, loud, rails where like half an inch thick, and got stuck in 24 volt high.  So I put an old Johnson OMC on her and it works about 600 times better.  I also will ALWAYS prefer cable over electronic, I like being in total control the second I need it.

I know I'm in the minority on Minn Kota powerdrive opinion, but I have a PD40 with the copilot attachment and absolutely love it, no pedal in the way

[Madhouse27]

I've had a couple from both manufacturers and I'm definately on board with Minn Kota.
