The reason I was looking at 80#, it is the smallest of the Vantage motors which are transom mounted models, hand controlled motors with some nice advanced features - but hand controlled nonetheless.
I looked at the PowerDrive bow mount 12V 55# with iDrive and the remote seems REALLY neat. How is the reliability on the electronics? I am not going to be too happy paddling back if the remote or control head decides to take a nap. There is no way to control the motor by hand. Batteries I can manage, technical failures not so much so.
Thanks!
