I've always been a Motorguide user but a boat I'm buying soon has a Minnkota Fortrex on it. For those that have used both, should I keep the Fortrex and get used to the petal or swap it for the Motorguide Digital Tour which I'm used to??

I love my Fortrex. The ease of deployment is worth getting used to the pedal imho.

I run a MG digital tour. 24 volt powers my boat the whole weekend on single charge. The only problem I had was when prop broke and it became unbalanced, Water in the lower unit fried circuit board and repair was aprox 300.00.
I'm sure the Fortrex is an excellent unit I just have no experience with it.

If you want to keep the local TM repair shop in business, get a MG.
If you want to be able to chew up and spit out weeds or pull yourself around all day in the wind, get a MK.

Minnkota, tx lakes full of stumps,composite shafts don't break or bend MG do. I've had both, If you fish deep MG are find nothing to hit. but even then you can't beat a terrova with I-pilot it's like powerpoles in deep water.
