re: Minn Kota vs Motor Guide Trolling Motors

Reminds me that I was working to replace the clip on a cheap assed Minn Kota Edge. I needed to hammer out the pin holding the clip. I took the motor off and just had the bracket and swing arms to deal with. In a moment of inattention the swing arms closed and cut the pad off of my left ring finger. Now here I am almost eight weeks later with a large scab and patches of regrowing skin on my finger. I tossed the bracket and the motor into the lake. I didn't want to see the part of the bracket with my finger meat on it.
