Which manufacturer is better, Minn Kota or MotorGuide?
o They are both decent products but both have their issue. It’s a matter of personal preference, particularly as it relates to the preference of the installer. The more features, gadgets, and gizmos you add, the more problems that will arise. Keeping the motor simple is a good idea. o After speaking to a large repair shop who handles both, they said don’t buy MinnKota. They have over 20 units in the shop waiting for circuit boards with some waiting for months. They strongly recommend MotorGuide over Minn Kota. o Mike from Master Repair, is a huge Minn Kota supporter and seems to strongly favor them over MotorGuide. He is one of the largest, if not the largest MinnKota dealer. He probably gets priority parts vs. other repair shops which may lessen the pain of out of stock problems.
