Is anyone familiar with the watersnake brand of trolling motors. I found them on Walmart.com and was wondering if they are reliable?

Offbrand China knock-off of the real McCoy. I would question it's long term reliability and if it does break, good luck getting replacement parts. This is one of those "you get what you pay for" type of deals.

I still have a Motor Guide Trolling motor I bought 25 years ago, and it still works perfectly fine. Same for MinnKota I've had for 15-20 years. Had to repair them a couple times; prop, switch, re-lube and seals. I doubt a Watersnake would make it that long, disposable item...
