Been wanting a I-pilot trolling motor for a few years but didn't like how slow the motorized trolling motors turned, when I bought my boat it had a Minn Kota All Terrain on it and I hated everything about it. It was slow to turn and the foot pedal was hard to operate but it finally met it's demise when my wife was pulling my boat back from the lake and it came unlatched three times and smacked the highway. 😁
I bought a 80 Minn Kota Maxxum after that and love it but after learning that Minn Kota put a cable steer and a regular foot pedal on a I-Pilot I had to try it again. I ordered a 80 Ultrex yesterday and can't wait to give it a try. Does anyone have one and what do they think of them? Thought about getting the 112 Ultrex but I don't have any room for a third trolling battery.
Think this will be handy trolling crankbaits, drifting for catfish and putting the position lock on while trying on.
