Location: Mayville, WI | The way my foot-pedal is working lately, I wish I went with "Hand control". They're quite popular w/ the saltwater guys & I looked into getting one myself and would have, but the selling factor of the foot-controll over "hand" control was the lack of universal sonar on the "hand" control. I had been running nothing but "hand" control transom mounts before this and had NO problem. With the extendable handles, you don't even need to use your hands to steer, just use your knee, hip, leg... etc. They get an unnecessary bad rap because of the "hand" control. The ONLY downside is changing speeds, but that can be done between casts.
EDIT: By "hand" control, do you mean via remote (auto pilot) or tiller style? I'm talking tiller style & it seems others are talking remote.
