Can it be used with out the foot pedal connected? Rather not have it laying around on the floor.
Thanks

Yes, never have hooked a foot pedal to either of mine.
Me either. I keep it in the boat but have no idea how to use it. No need to as long as that remote is working.Quote:

Get you a extra charging harness for the boat and don't take it out.

I think it is a 2450. but don't trust my memory.
Wilbur, do your homework on those trolling motors before you buy one. I have one and don't really care for it all that much. I am thinking about selling mine and buying a Fourtrex. I was hoping "Spot Lock" would hold tighter than it does. "Area lock" is more like it. The foot pedal feels nothing like a cable steer. The motor that rotates the unit CW/CCW is really noisy.
There are some features that I really do like such as the "speed control" and being able to point the motor and have it follow a heading. If you do happen to use the foot pedal it does come with a long cord and can use it from the back of the boat if needed.
Maybe the motor would be better on a heavier glass boat. If the wind is gusty/strong it really blows my Lund all over the place and the motor is constantly trying to compensate. It can be like a carnival ride some days.
