Worst Trolling Motor ever OWNED!!!!!,June 3, 2009
By captjoefrom Destin, Florida
Advantages: Ease of use Disadvantages: poor quality, unreliable
"Nothing but trouble for me the first week I had to have the speed switch replaced. Then the head of the motor fell off because the composite shaft where the screw goes through shattered. I have had this motor for 3 months and I'm in the market for a new on. I have never been more dissatisfied with a product in my life its in the shop more than its on my boat."
