Good, bad or indifferent?
V2 on War Eagle 754 LDBR
i have the 70lb 24v power drive with i-pilot......i like it very well for the types of fishing i do......ive heard alot of issues w/the foot pedal on them, butvw/the i-pilot i dont have one so cant speak from exp.......if your used to a cable drive tm, the pd may take a little to get used to, doesent react as fasr as cable drive......all in all i like mine for what its worth......positives, easy on the batteries/go all day easily w/out killing em......deploys easily..........good boat control w/the i-pilot.......negatives, noisy when turning......slow reaction compared to cable drive......doesent have a break away shaft, makes it kinda hairy when u wack a stump........foot pedal issues.......
Had mine +2 years, no problems. Handles my 17ft Tracker very well, even in rough water or windy conditions. I like it, way better than my previous - a Moto-Guide with only 50lbs thrust (12V system).
my boat came with the 70 autopilot, I added the Ipilot.
the only problem I had was the control board went bad.
I replaced it and have had no problems since.
Works great on a 17' Lund.
Thanks for the input.
