Noob question, I am going to get the in dash control for my powerpoles, can I also add the CM2 foot units in the bow and all of them still work? Adding the second foot pedal controllers is an easy pairing job right? How often do the foot pedal batteries last? 

One more thing, do powerpoles get in the way of trolling lines. My rod holders are about 2 feet from transom. 

Yes, I use the dash control, foot pedals and remote. It's as simple as programming them with the motors. The batteries in mine have lasted over a year and I use them a lot.

 

I don't troll so I am of no help there.
