I have a M/K Powerdrive and have considered adding a co-pilot system. Any input on that setup?
I love my co-pilot. IMHO, it's way better than sliced bread! I always keep a foot pedal in the boat "just in case", but I haven't used it in several years. I keep a spare wrist control for the co-pilot in case the battery dies. This year I had one of the wrist controls itself, not just the battery, give up the ghost, so they're not infallible.
I fish a lot of electric motor-only lakes, so I use it ALL the time. It is really nice to control the boat from wherever you want. You can't spin the motor around as fast as with a cable drive, but that's true with any M/K pedal.
To quote my friend DJS, who fishes the electric-only lakes even more than I do, "Why didn't you make me buy this thing years ago?" |
