Looking into a new trolling motor Which are you guys using and how do you like it. I have an old motor guide 20+ years old not sure if I want a motor guide or minn kota. Needs to be 36 volt. don't think I am spending the money for spot lock and all that.

Ultrex, then Fortrex. Lift assist on the MinnKota makes up and down easy...way easier than what you are use to...

I had motor guide on my previous boat and liked it over the minn kota on my present boat. The motor guide was lighter and easier to deploy and retract, and the switch on the right side of pedal was easier for me to press. My kota has the switch on the left side, which is sorta uncomfortable to press, but i live with it. Now, my partner has the spot lock high dollar troller on his boat. It sure makes life easy in windy conditions and drift control when retying, unhooking fish, etc. You pay to play, good luck.
