They are an expensive toy, but if you can swing it I highly recommend it. Mine is a Motor guide, 24 volt, 80#, for a 19 foot aluminum Koffler. This will only be my 3rd year with it and can't imagine not having it now.
It came with foot control and remote but I have never even used the foot pedal.
The Anchor mode is great but the auto pilot is equally impressive, especially fishing alone. No more getting blown off course by wind or current if your distracted for a few moments.
Make sure you don't go too short and look into lithium batteries (12V, 100AH). The 2 lithium batteries I have are now down $189 each on Amazon.
