I keep it as backup in case the remote malfunctioned, but it never has in 6 years. Once you get used to the remote you will love it. The anchor lock and the compass steering really make it easy to control the boat, especially if you are by yourself. If you troll this is an absolute dream as it does all the work for you.
I guess it is all personal preference.thanks for the info.
