It's kind of hard turning the head of the motor making it "manual" hand control.

Anyone in Hawaii work on electric trolling motors?
I'm thinking of buying the Min Kota Riptide ST Saltwater...
It's only $1,089.99.

The Minn Kota Terrova is only $959.99. I figure the extra money for making it more rust proof is probably worth it.
I know there are cheaper motors, but I really like the 18 foot cord so I can run the electric motor from the middle of the boat and have 2 people fishing, front and back. (And I now have 2 spare foot petals):D
The "foot" control can be used with the touch of your fingers... (I am not very good using my foot) I don't know how in the world people can fish and run the trolling motor with their foot at the same time. It's all I can do to fish and keep from falling out of the boat while standing.
