Ink, I don't see your logic. If you can spring for a new boat but not a new trolling motor! Why did you spend thousands on a boat? You could have kept what you had and saved several grand and loaned it to my cause. Because I need a new boat. [/QUOTE]

I gotta a new trolling motor, and two new corded steering devices. I had a co-pilot once, it let me down a couple of times. I just don't trust those wireless devices to last very long.
