I currently use a 1996 John/Rude trolling motor... still works fine. I hope you have many years of use with your new MG... I'm sure my days are numbered. Tight Lines---
Well my old Evinrude trolling motor finally broke on me. The steering cable went out on it and the parts are not available now. I took my gift cards and birthday money and bought a Motor Guide Pro 75. With a little phone advice from Randy Clark, I got her installed fine. It should be a huge improvement over the old one. I know some people have said the low setting is still too fast. I may bring her down to 12 volt if I have to. I still haven't tried it out. Looking forward to a nice quiet trilling motor.

Looks good, good job on the install. No slime though.....
Creativity is just intelligence fooling around
My brother has that motor on his boat. You can pull a water skier on 5. A big plus when the wind is up but on 1 it is a little hard to troll slow. Great motor. Will work well for you at Wood's on a windy day.
Good looking install.

i agree with dave on this,i have the same motor now,and you can pull a skier,it is fast for sure.if i had it to do over i would have gotten a variable speed,my next one will be.
GOD loves fishermen,the earth is 75% water
