I just bought and installed a Powerdrive V2 (55lb./48 in.) two weeks ago. Used it last week for four days at Greers Ferry. Made two days on the battery, although I have a transom mount trolling motor too so it took some of the load.

I'm tickled with it, but I agree with Slabber--I'm not crazy about the foot petal. It's not designed well, and it's a little hard to control at times. CoPilot is a good idea, and I may be headed that way. Just want to make sure that the problem isn't between the motor and the seat first.
