    They are all good and they all have problems. Most importantly, what graphs do you have and what do you want the motor to do. I would not go by asking the Internet who has the least issues!

    I have a Garmin 93SV up front, so thinking about a Force trolling motor.

    Despite the recall and posts about issues, My Tour Pro has been trouble free. Best TM I have ever used. The only one I have not used is the Ghost-I know no one with one right now.
