Rickie’s da ducer will take the punishment you give it. It is so well made. I have driven mine into stumps and submerged standing timber occasionally and through matted grass just like you abuse a trolling motor. And have experienced it not being pulled up when BillBob moves his boat from waypoint to waypoint by using his big motor to propel his boat about 5-10 mph by leaving his down. I have a skinny water 1648 G3 jon that mine is on and sometimes fish in a lot of standing flooded timber areas of a couple of lakes I fish in Indiana so it does get abused. Check it out.
