My motorguide tour isn't getting any younger. What would you buy non-spot lock, I have no use for a 3K troller. Seems many are using the Fortrex but I have always been a Motorguide fan but can't find any reviews for the new Tour model non-spot lock. I know Lowrance and Garmin also make new ones but I don't think they make a non GPS lock model.

No help here because there's no way I would ever go back to a tm without spot lock.

Yep, it is the best fishing invention ever. It’s the one thing I’ll buy, no matter the cost.

If you got one you would never regret it! And if you don’t want all the bells and whistles of it tied to your graph they are not 3k. Best money I have ever spent on a boat accessory!

I've got a 5 year old 24V, Tour Digital, 82 lb. thrust I just took off my boat if interested. Excellent condition. Asking $350.

It can't be only 5 years old, been out of production longer than that.

Depends on what you are running 12v-24v. MinnKota the Terrova I-Pilot GPS for around $1500. They have the Edge for around $700. The Fortrex for around $1500. All these prices are for 24v. The Terrova is electric foot pedal and the other 2 are cable foot pedal. Hope this helps.

I would jump on Tbirds trolling motor deal, or call a Trolling Motor repair shop and see if thay have any used units for sale. If they do it
might come with a 30-60 warranty if they did the work. fish

That’s probably the best non spot lock trolling motor ever made, if you’re happy with it you could completely rebuild it, or keep your eyes open and find a good used one. TH Marine makes a lift assist for it that’ll make it a lot easier to stow and deploy.
