    Why is Minn Kota not giving option, but making you get MDI?

    Kind of angry. In the market for new trolling motor, looking at Minn Kota. Except they discontinued basically the US2 option. I don't need Us2, and I sure don't need a $200-$400 transducer on my trolling motor. We troll and fish out the back of boat. Why isn't there an option of NO Transducer? urgh

    It depends what model motor. They do make it difficult as different length shafts and voltages have different options available( also getting ipilot link even changes what is available). The saltwater models mostly have a no transducer model. Exactly what do you need? I will look over the ordering portion of the Minn Kota site for you. Bob

    The Terrova is available with a US2, MDI, or no transducer.
    The Ultrex and Ulterra are available with US2 or MDI.
    The PowerDrive is available with US2 or no transducer.

    Nice Wes, It gives a clearer pic(with reading glasses) of what is available without going through the puzzle on the build your own deal on the site. Bob
