Excellent investment! Best tool for multipoling!

Having a little trouble with mine but it is under warranty and they stand by em real good so I am not worried about it too much. Hope it will hold on till December so I can take it in for repair, wont be fishing in December and I dont want to part with it long enuff to carry it in. If and when mine dies it will be replaced with another one, pulling cranks and pushin minners and I am sure longlining it just dont get any better. I like it single poling as well once you get used to the remote, best money you will spend in my opinion.

I found my best price on ebay. Most of them offer free shipping and the Minn Kota warranty still stands.

I checked out my local dealer that also is the service center too. He was within 20-40 bucks and I figured buy local and keep up good standings. Ferdi aka Fred

Wish I had the same response as all the above, but I dont.......have had mine since they first came on market....had to replace the remote and now the foot pedal has quit......I shoot docks most of the time and will go back to older model foot operated when this one dies.......And the MK rep that i talked to was a smart a$$.

Dunk your foot control in the water vigorously. Clean the contacts. That what I had to do to mine

PowerDrive w/ Deploy Assist or Terrova mount???

I would get the terrova if you can afford it. Alot easier to deploy and you can use foot pedal with it.

The first remotes did have problems but MK is good about fixing them. The reps always nice to me. If footpedal hasn't been abused it just needs contacts cleaned, at most replaced. You can use removal mount and swap to any cheap cable drive for shooting docks, if thats all you do then no need for electric steer motor. Remember electronics hate water, they will work in plastic bag if you fish in rain.

Search "minn kota i pilot", go to lowest plus shipping. Scroll down there are several left for the riptide at $269-279! They may have sold all the powerdrive ones. Riptide gps control board is going to be white instead of black.
