I have an 06 PD55 and a co-pilot system. I tried my pedal once this season early on and it was cumbersome. I do not have a pedestal seat up front and the remote is so much easier to use. I just now put those remote holders on my bass rod, and have two more for muskie rods. I do not know how they will work til i try them. I have been wearing the fob on my wrist. Has anyone tried the new wireless footpedals from MK?? Compared to the old ones are they easier to use? Seems that one outing, my footpedal was tough to use, stiff pedals, not a soft touch at all. It might have made it tougher to use since I was standing up. I can order a wiresless pedal for mine, but was fishing for comments before. Thanks.

I have a question about this too...

I have a powerdrive motor. It's not the new V2 version...but a year or so old.

The wireless pedal is the same as the pedals that come with the new V2 powerdrive.

Do any of you know if the new wireless pedal work with the non-V2 powerdrives? Are there any compatability issues with the copilots and the pedals and the new motors vs. the old motors? Does anyone know what I'm saying since I think I just confused myself.

I need a drink.

THANKS!!!

I bought a wireless pedal at the beginning of the season. Truthfully I haven't used it much lately as I have mostly trolled but I like it. It's as responsive as the remote and doesn't lock out the remote. This allows you to switch back and forth between the pedal and the remote (which I'm pretty sure you can't do with the corded pedal). The speed adjustment is a little weird but works the same as the remote also.

Halfpint - it works with the old powerdrives with a copilot.

Thanks for replying. The old pedal locks out my remote. I didn't like that. I have not used the pedal but once so i don't have anything to compare it to. Now what do i do with the old corded one?
