I think you made the right choice and also, I think you'll get good customer service from Rhodan. I downloaded, there online manual. In the manual, they practically beg you to call them for any help or questions you have. (it even says, if you have problems finding a the appropriate plug for the power, to give them a call and they would be happy to help.)Also, they have a list and prices, of all the replacement parts, for there trolling motors
Have you read what some of the owners, over at the hull truth have posted about there experience, with Rhodan has been,? New Rhodan 72" v. Minn Kota 36v 60" on bigger boat. - The Hull Truth - Boating and Fishing Forum
I have read all the stuff about rhodan both good and bad. The one I ordered is a 12 volt 55 lb thrust unit for my fisher 1710. If it doesnt work u will all read about it and I will burn up the tech support lines. The four pole motor is theory at least should provide more efficiency. I understand I am taking a chance. Yeah they are expensice but hell someone has to take a chance!
People gripe about the mk and mg also. I took a chance on the Onix with its software issues so taking another one on the rhodan. Wish me luck guys!
Good luck for sure!!!! Hope you love it because I have almost made my mind up to get an 80 lb thrust. They are coming out with 120 lb in 2 months per a conversation with Kyle yesterday.

My boat is aluminum and performs well with the the 55 lbs. I understand the tradeoffs. The way my boat is made there is not really space for the second battery either. Good luck also on ur choice!
Looking forward to seeing how it works for you.
