re: Minn Kota vs Motor Guide Trolling Motors

I’ve had my minn kota for about 7.5 years. I’ve put that thing through hell and it’s still running strong. Came into the dock a little hot one day to get out of the spillway current and slammed it against a piling and broke the blade, but just changed it out and was good to go. Other than that, which was 100% my fault, I’ve never had an issue with it. The slim electric pedal on mine is my favorite part about it because my boat doesn’t have a recessed foot pedal box in the front deck for a cable driven pedal.
