I run a motorguide w55 I bought last year. I like it fine their is a small learning curve in using one. I have the wireless foot control and hand held control also.

I had one 4yrs. ago for a day. Took it back an got a MinnKota I pilot. Don't know if they changed since then, but was noisy and remote worked terrible.

I was looking at the motorguide w55L (built in transducer). Thanks for the feedback. I have seen some negative reviews relating to the remote pedal communicating and turn motor noisiness. Come to find out, I would have a bigger challenge because I can't run my elite-7HDI without trying to get around the skeg. Also, tearing up the wire from the transducer while trolling through brush etc. Will I run into this issue with other trolling motors that have built in transducers. Thanks again.
Also, I'm still looking for a trolling motor (fairly new) in good condition around $300. 55lb and up. Looking for one soon as I need to get boat rigged and ready. If you have something please pm me your number so I can talk to you about what you have and can get pictures.

You will not be able to use the built in transducer on MK or MG for DI. They are 2d only. Go to the electronics section on main board. Look at the stickies at the top. One there about installing transducers.

I don't want to limit my trolling motor options because of Down Imaging.
