Having the foot control will be nice if the remote quits but not a good reason to buy it.

thanks ky crappie, you guys have bout made my mind up :D was wandering also as you mention about ipilot messing up, could I not then just put my original head that came on the trolling motor and go back to using my foot control ?

thanks

This is where they are 351 with free shipping.
Looks like the price went up for free shipping, but the have them in stock.

That is a good price!!! been looking at em and was also wondering if you could put the old head back on it if trouble was to come up. Thanks for all the input from everyone. Sure does help when your are thinking on spending a few hundred on something new!! almost ordered the co-pilot but that would have been money down the drain!

I'm in the process of mounting 2 Handheld GPS holders on my boat (similar to the automotive cell phone holders of yesteryear). I will be putting one on the center console and one on a rod holder up front.. This will work out nicely for holding the I-Pilot remote. The one on the console will be used while guiding for hybrids. The one of front will be used while spider rigging.

Are you talking about a ram mount? I have been trying to find a cradle for my remote so that I can mount the same was as you are.
