What did you not like about minn kota?[/quote]
I have replaced the circuit board in the head twice in 4 years. That's the board that controls the I-pilot/GPS. Roughly a couple hundred bucks.
I've gone through 3 hand-held remote controls, one of the "old style" that was original, and two of the "new style" that soon replaced the older ones. A third one of the new style I'm currently using is on its way out, and won't make it though the winter. The contacts get worn out. Adding a washer to the inside of the battery cover adds some time, but eventually doesn't cut it. They die when its cold in spring, fall, and winter.
Remember, I use mine about 110-120 days a year, but still, they should last longer than they do.
