Thanks Rebel. I know it is a little newer technology but it seems outstanding. The only side I have seen that some with an I/O don't like, is it creates a spray as the mounting bracket is not completely out of the water when running and some love them but would like a slightly larger model. I love the idea the more I think of it. No gas, no fumes, no external gas cans, no noise, no steering links. I expect I will purchase one and I will keep you posted. Thanks again brother

The main reason I would want the 160 is to fast troll steelhead up to 3.5 mph into the wind if needed. My boat, engine and gas are 5,000 pounds. Add a crew and tackle and we are near 6500. It sounds like you really like yours and you have reaped the benefit of saving on fuel and engine hours. I like it alot. I sure do appreciate the feedback Manx. What speeds are you trolling at and do you need to manuever much with the wheel or does it track straight?

Spoontang,
Right now I'm trolling at 1.6 to 2.0 with crank baits
this spring I was doing 1.2 to 1.4
Mines on a 90 hp Tiller so there's no wheel
But I have a friend that has one on a wheel boat
No problems at all staying straight
