Hey all - first time writing here but big time follower, quick question…
I want to purchase a trolling motor for my 212 sportman open, anyone test the ipilot? I need 72" and this looks like the best option.
I’m happy with mine. I’ve had it for about 2 1/2 yrs. with no issues. Powerdrive V2, 55#, 55" shaft, on my 16’ Lund.

6 years strong. Wouldn’t have a boat without one.
For that large of a boat, if you can afford it, I would go for the Ulterra. I would not want to keep dragging a 72" shaft model up and down when I wanted to stow/deploy.

GREAT MOTOR, ONLY THING WITH THE 72" IS YOU CANT USE A STANDARD QUICK RELEASE

Been really happy w/ mine for the year and a half that I’ve had it.
