I like mine, I have it hooked up to my locators and program routes for it to take which allows me to focus on fishing. One issue I had with it was that I couldn't see which way the motor was facing in the dark, and I would scare the crap outta myself while operating at night. If it was turned the wrong way it had a good chance of bucking me off the boat if it is throttled up.

I modified the cover to have LED lights and I wired them up to my navigation lights so they only come on when my nav lights come on. Works awesome and solves the issue. Going to be modifying another one for a friend, it's pretty easy to do if you have the supplies.
