I have had both cable and electric steer, and once you are used to the electric steer, I don't see a lot of difference. On the foot control you have to get used to the placement of the switches where on the cable steer you just move your foot fore and aft, touching the motor on button. One advantage I have found with the iPilotlink handheld is quickly changing your motor speed when the need arises. I also like the target speed. Everybody has an opinion, just mine. I would never go back to a cable steer.

You can also steer the Terrova moving your foot for and aft........and set your speed with the little wheel that can be moved with your foot.

I use my foot control as much or more than the remote. Its easier for me to set the speed on the pedal nd just kind of tap it than to try and work the remote especially on a brush pile with a jig

That's what I do, reverse and head back along the same track. I have created a track quickly without fishing, then go back and fish. Amazed at what some these electronics will do these days, if I get bored fishing, I get to play with my gadgets for a while!!

he could have been working into the wind to keep speed down

Could have been, I was just curious, didn't know it would even do it myself till this year and I had mine for a while
