hey jeff, man, these trolling motor folks have it figured out. the problem with NOT getting an integrated sonar is that it is very hard to run the wire down the shaft of the trolling motor. they almost force you to get it if it is offered. I just bought the 36V fortrex and I did get mine with the integrated sonar. I talked to Pat at BPS and he said they come with a 2 year warranty. he said normally if they go bad they do so within the warranty period. good luck and do you fish cypress in Benton much??
