I added a 70lb Maxxum foot control to my BT 175 Pro and it replaced my 43 lb MG 12 volt. I love this new motor the 24 v system has not stopped or slowed down like the old one did. I can shoot at least 9 hours and still have juice left.
The issue I am curious about is the foot control. I know that some of you guys swear by the sticks but I want to maintain the foot control for now since I can shoot better with that set up. What I have noticed though is that when on high powers I sometimes have trouble getting the thing to turn. It's like once it starts turning it goes all the way in one direction and to correct it I end up going all the way in the other direction. I look like I am drunk weaving all over the lake. I was thinking it is partially because the foot control is not mounted to the deck since I like to move it around sometimes. At times I am pushing so hard to get it to respond that the whole foot unit lifts up rather than just the pedal part. Hope this makes sense and that someone knows what I am doing wrong.

also I am glad I didn't need to use the Heimlich manuever when you choked on the that goldie. I am guessing that goldfish weighed in at about 7 lbs but by tomorrow it should be 12.
