| When I'm talking about new technology...Minn Kota changed the motor on the newer PD's
a) his is actually a newer model, but didn't include universal sonar.
b) we've been talking about the mount, not the motor. how did the mount change?
Minn Kota doesn't need to have a built in hole do to what your doing, nowadays most people are going with the univeral sonar and eliminating all cables that way
a) it's not a MinnKota issue, Motorguides have a universal sonar option too.
b) "most" people? at an extra $100 (over 10% of the price on most models) for the universal sonar feature, i'm gonna bet they're still selling a whole bunch of trolling motors without that feature.
notably, less expensive Tracker boats (the #1 selling boat in the country) come standard with trolling motors that do not have universal sonar. they're Motorguides, but my point is simply that making small adjustments in mount design to better accomodate transducer wires just makes good sense because there are still lots of people out there who don't run universal sonars.
