Re: Electric Steer Trolling Motor
Electric steer motors when mounted on a quick release plate can be removed in seconds and you won't have to deal with the several feet of stiff, unremovable cable attached to them. Electric steer foot pedals (at least Minnkota) need to be kept in dry storage when not in use and if you have a heavy foot, operate the pedal like you have an egg under your foot. There is no need to stomp heavily on the contorls and doing so can rupture the membrane switches which then allows moisture between it and the circuit path on the PC board and corrosion soon follows. Electric steer motors are a tad slower to respond than cable steer. I've owned several of them and find them to be very good motors when treated with a little respect.
