crazy larry

not much under power drive, as usual, i am too wordy in my search queries..... Mr Carp, are you still liking your MK AT? forgive my ignorance, but spell out the model for me please? How much slower does the digital TM turn as opposed to the cable steer? Also, does it torque steer? Mr. Payneful, How do you like your power drive? would you buy another? also, I noted in a post by Mr. Carp, you stated that the battery savings wasn't that noticable, Does the "Maximizer" feature really not decrease battery drain? or is that offset by the increased juice it takes to run the digital features?

Hello all, first post. I'm looking at buying a new trolling motor and have some questions on the new style with digital steering. I currently run an old M/K with the twin cable, push pull set up. when running the motor, you have to constantly keep pressure on the steering pedal to go where ever you intend to go, or the motor torques to the right. Do the newer digital units have torque steer? Do they maintain a straight course even with no input on the direction pedal? I know M/K has the unit that runs in whichever direction you set the compass indicator at..I believe it is the terrova model... but what about the units that don't have that feature? and how durable are the digital steer units? Would I be better off staying with the old reliable twin cable steering? Any input thoughts, suggestions or otherwise will be greatly appreciated.... I'm running a 16 foot skeeter with a 115 hp johnson. My home lake is Houston County lake at Crockett Tx. Looking forward to getting to know you all. Thanks, Larry
