Trolling Motor Purchase

I am buying a new hand control trolling motor for my 16 ft flat. Trying to decide between regular model and digital control. Also Minn Kota or Motor Guide. Any opinions? Thanks.

I mount it about 4 feet from the bow on the starboard side. It is my spider rig boat. Motor is just used to move slowly with frequent stops. I hate foot controls and a bow mount gets in the way of my rod holders and is too hard to reach from my seat.

MinKota 55 would be my choice after owning one on former al boat.

Ultrex all the way.
But I have not read any reviews on the Lowrance trolling motor.

Last one I bought was used saltwater series and transom mount. For $50 tm shop made it a bow mount. Don’t be afraid of used and transom mount if it’s a deal.
