Re: Genesis Owners-what are you going to do?
Thanks for the input Reelman. Good to hear from the MinKota side. I suppose I agree they are doing all they can do to keep us happy but after really debating to spend the big bucks for a TM with features no other even come close to, it is a big disappointment to have to take a step back. I'm sure MK didn't like discontinuing the Genesis but they are in business to make money and if they thought this was the best way out, they stepped up to the plate the best they could.<br /><br />However, I'm a little miffed that there is no mention of this program on the ML website and in fact there are still have some Genesis models available on there. What's up with that? As PAKev said above, he was thinking about getting one. Also they could have sent registered owners a notice about the plans. Instead, KM left it for us to find out on our own. Im sure many people who own Genesis don't even know yet. In my case, it would have made a differance to me to know about the program when first offered as I could have brought the unit back from upnorth last fall and had the new unit mounted and ready to go in the spring. As it is, I'll have to wait until my first trip up and then bring the parts to sent in, then haul the new unit back up and mount it over the water cutting into my fishing and vacation time. This is because I have a cabin with the only access to it is by water(no road) and everything has to come in by boat. Also the Tech at MN, gave me the impression that this progam will not last long and she had to talk to her supervisor to get permission to let me do the trade in the spring.<br /><br />I suppose I shouldn't be ticked off but I am. Extra work only to windup with a lesser TM. <br />However, thanks to MK for making the offer for those who find out about the program. <br /><br />StillFishin'
