I have a 24 v. terrova on an aluminum boat, and a 24 v 80 ibs fortrex on my 186 champion. In my opinion the mount on the fortrex is garbage, the bushings are always popping out, creating play in the mount, which starts to ruin other parts.
Get a 24v 80ibs maxxum if you want a cable steer.
However, I think in the VERY near future there will be ipilot capabilities on a cable steer, which would be AWESOME. Awesome enough, that I'd wait to see if it happens, and buy one.

I have owned both and I will never own another MG. I prefer the MK Fortrex over the Maxxum, the housing is stronger and it is easier to lift in my opinion. Both are much quiter than the MG and I was constantly bending the shaft on the MG, not a concern on the MK. The 24v 82# MK Fortrex would be my choice.
