    Default Motorguide ending


    Got an email this morning that Mercury was ending the motorguide brand. Switching to Lowrance and Simrad. Have been thinking this was coming, but I hate to see an old brand going away.

    Default Motorguide ending

    Just went on a walk down memory lane. Our first boat when I was a kid came with a Motorguide bow mount.
    I remember the top of it had a lot of words printed on it, said something about Herschede Hall clock company, oldest manufacturer of grandfather clocks. Starkville, MS.
    Over the last years I have drifted over into the Minn Kota camp, but still hate to hear about this.

    I had a 12V Motorguide on my Skeeter at one time; it worked fine and never gave me any problems although I eventually needed to go back to 24V, which is when I went down the Minn-Kota rabbit hole with a Terrova.
    If I'm not at work or taking kids to their activities, you might find me on "The Rez" fishing. If not there, I could be in the garage working on my boat.

    I drove by that building on Highway 12 too many times to count as a Mississippi State student, and I even worked with someone in our on-campus research lab to worked at that facility at one time--I think that I still have one of his Quantum spinning reel that he gave me, which he got either cheap or free back when Motorguide was still owned by Zebco and before he joined MSU.
