Power Pole Move

My 2014 Ranger had the original Minn Kota Fortrex and it was wearing out. So talking to Chris Johnston I asked his thoughts. I felt I knew him well enough that if he said he liked it I could believe him (he's sponsored).  So I bought it.  Well I ordered and waited as they were very backordered.
I got it and other than a couple install issues, it's been great.
Yes it is more expensive then most. But no one does customer service like them.  So they helped me thru my install issues super quick. Sending me videos, calling me when I was on the water to troubleshoot, etc.
So my thoughts:
It is super quiet. You only know it's running by the light on the head.
It's powerful. I like fishing in the thick stuff and it's pulls great.
It has anchor mode  and vector mode (straight line lock).
It steers smoothly.  Some others jerk around this is an easy transition from my Fortrex.
Anchor mode is very quiet too. The boat doesn't hop around as the TM tries to hold you in place
Lastly it is so small and tidy. Small head.  Easy stow and deploy too

Thank you for sharing this review with us Bryn. Were the install issues easy fixes?

Oh ya.  We had trained the lift rope incorrectly.  And I needed to reboot the system once.
That's all. Has been perfect since
