The Ultrex pedal does move anytime the motor turns via remote. Obviously it has a direction arrow on top but I find myself paying more attention to the foot pedal for reference than the arrow especially if I'm running it from the middle or rear of the boat. The first couple trips spider-rigging felt odd using the remote but I quickly picked up a "feel" for direction and now I don't even notice if I glance at the arrow or not. Some times I use Ipilot link and let the motor follow contours or previous routes so the motor does everything on it's on. I'm still learning but this equipment makes fishing better for sure.
