    Motor guide tour pro for me . I don’t want servo electrical steer . I fixed my motor guide two weeks ago on the water for 2.98 cents in parts . Took 15 minutes back up and running . (Plastic cable pulley ,shaft,and retainer clip . ) runs like new . Plus the new tour pro will link to 3 different brand graphs . Motor guide customer service is way better than Lowrance. All you guys wanting to switch over to brands other than minnkota or Motor guide better have a second prop because your not going to find them any where quick . Be like needing a Honda or Suzuki mech in the Midwest . Good luck with That . I break at least one prop a year .

    I have never broken a TM prop in 22 years. Not all of us fish in water 6” deep.

    That guy was obviously thinking of the Garmin and not the Lowrance.

    Good point! Hate to see false advertising, treating the customers as fools.

    Exactly! Seems you know engineering well!

    Brushless motors are also hard to repair, both the drivers and the motors.

    The 60% more efficient is probably being compared to analog trolling motors, not digital motors.

    If everyone is correct we should see the ghost start shipping in about 2 weeks. Maybe a few even earlier. I'd like to know who is first to get one and their opinion on it

    Prostaffers started getting theirs already. One sent me a short video last night, sucker spins almost instantly. If mine ever comes, I’ll do a quick write up. (I’m not a prostaff, so hopefully my order doesn’t get buried)

    Props for the garmin are readily available and you can also use the minn kota weedless prop on it as well.
