I love mine. I have a Minn Kota Power Drive. It's an 80lb thrust with universal sonar. I have two remote controls co pilots and these work like a charm. I had to get a big thrust because i have mine on a 3 log pontoon and i got the 60" long shaft. You won't have to have that long of a shaft or that much thrust for a bass boat. The co pilot remotes i can't brag on enough and i use it and anyone with me uses the other as we keep the trolling motor going from anywhere in the boat.
They will work along ways off, the remotes. You can't get to far from where it won't work.
