My neighbor has a Motoguide and I have a Minnkota. Neither has given us any
trouble. The Minnkota feels more solid and rugged to me, but that is just
my opinion. I know my neighbor also thinks the Minnkota is better made, but
both have worked well.

I have used Minn Kota's for years with very little trouble. My Mag 40 would
have been 19 yrs.old next spring. However, it bit the dust a couple of
weeks
ago. Had been drawing excessive amps which kicked breakers now and then
and
finally froze up. I was told that no parts are available for this dinosaur
anymore so I guess I'm in the market. Would appreciate your
recommendations.
