I've got a motor guide on my boat. Always been a Mercury fan and still am to some degree but I don't care much for the motor guides. I really want a Minn Kota cable drive and a Minn Kota autopilot or Ipilot with a quick release bracket to change them out quickly. My motor guide is just noisy and its a 2006 model with one rebuild under its belt. We've got Minn Kotas on other boats that are 20+ years old with no issues...even got one of the old all-terrains when those were a hit!!! LOL

I hope you get your fixed and you get it back quickly.
