I am still what I would consider new to crappie fishing but I recently purchased a Powerdrive V2 with I-pilot for my boat. I am still getting to know the functions on the remote but I love the trolling motor so far. I fish with my teenage son and we are trying to get the boat set up to long line this year. I normally have the remote and therefore I control the boat speed and direction but at times I wish he could take control.
Especially when I have 2 or 3 lines hung up or need retying due to a brush pile. My question is has anybody tried the micro remote as a backup remote? This would be used as a backup remote only so not having the screen might not be a big deal.
