Just took a MG off my boat, hated it(It was an older model tho). Loud, foot control was hard to work, and had to change foot control on/off switch 5 times and finally just used it broken. Wish I could have afforded the Terrova with foot control, but pinching pennies and terrova's dont go together. Got a few buddies with Minn Kota on their bass rigs and they like them a lot, Just seems MK is stayin on the cutting edge a little more than MG.
