Cant help you on the Motorguide as I am a Minn Kota man. I have the PowerDrive V2 with co-pilot and while not as fancy as an Ipilot I really like the motor and wireless control. I had one on my old Tracker and when I bought the new Tracker I immediately put a PDv2 on it. I will eventually upgrade to the Ipilot, but as long as the Co-pilot works I will stick with it.
