I'm in need of a new trolling motor for my 18ft bass boat. Looking at motorguide and wondering what the benefits to digital are? My current one is digital but was wondering if I needed to go back with a new digital or if it mattered all that much. Was considering a Motor guide x3 70lb.

When my motorguide burned up the circuit board in the motor a few years ago I bought a kit from Jones Trolling Motors. It had a new digital board and all the wiring, brushes, foot controll switches, everything but a new armature. It�s basically a new motor and now digital. No more power increase but doesn�t drain the batteries near as fast. Came with instructions but he was very helpful in explaining what was needed to install it over the phone when I ordered it. Best I can remember it was about $250-$300. Quite a bit less than a used one of the same age and size. Give him a call and see what he suggests. I think he also has rebuilt ones also.

the digital motors dont run the batteries down as fast but cost more to repair hope this helps.
