Location: Eagan, MN | Jason, you are funny, my friend. That giant fish in your avatar, along with many other 40lb+ giants caught at a ratio of something like 8:1 out of the back of my boat, tells me you don't need any help or prayers whatsoever! ha
Brad, I like the idea of building-up the momentary on-switch in the MK footpedals. That would have solved some problems for me for sure. I might sand down that block into something a little lower and smoother, maybe a little more egonomic, but that looks good as a quick fix to a very maddening problem! And, gotta believe you are right about the engineers. Are they even fishing with these footpedals??
Sled, I looked long and hard into the Xi5 and, after reading everything I could get my hands on via internet, ultimately decided to go with the Fortrex. Like riding a bicycle, I like having the ability to know exactly where I'm steering without any thought and without looking at the motor...and now with my size 17 Sorrel boots flat on the deck thanks to the footpedal tray I mounted. My fishing experience since the installation have been very positive, but time will tell. Btw, I kept my old AP to have as a spare, just in case. I don't have it on a quick release mount, but at least it's there if my Fortrex should ever konk out in the middle of a week long trip. I wouldn't expect that to happen too often given the reputation of the Fortrex.
