Any one here use them? What are you thoughts on these types of motors? Who makes the best unit?

This isn't quite what you asked, but, I looked into them a couple of years ago and decided against them, primarily for two reasons:

1. To steer, I had to use the main wheel - not real precise at low speeds.

2. To use it, I had to keep the leg of my main motor down. Sometimes when trolling with the elec. motor, I'm in places where I'd never drive with my big motor (shallow, rocks, stumps, etc.). Even going slow, you can get hung up on your leg, and constantly bumping can never be a good thing.

Something to think about in your deliberations.....
