The MG is a sore subject with me. I lost more tournaments because of this trolling motor since I owned my boat. The first week I had the boat the trolling motor broke. The cable snapped in the head and MG fixed it for free, but I had to take it to an authorized dealer that was 80 miles away and I had to wait for 6 weeks to get it back. Then the next fishing season started and it broke again. I had 2 tourneys with in 2 weeks of each other and my friend put an extra screw on the bottom of the cable in the foot control so the cable wouldnt snap out and then I could use it for the next tourney. I would not have gotten the motor back in time if I brought it to the store to fix it. Durning the tourneys the motor broke again. It just would not let my control where I wanted to go. Then it wouldnt work at all. I had to drive to a spot and anchor. I had 3 fish by 9:00 AM and then the motor broke. Fishing with the anchor for the rest of the day, I did not catch any more fish, and lost. Then I brought to Bass Pro to fix it, and they said because I made adjustments to it they would not cover it under warranty. So I had to pay $50.00 to get the case fixed where the arm moves back and forth. I got it back and fished with it 1 time and it broke again. I am sooooooo pissed off I have my Tourney of Champions coming up in 2 or 3 weeks and I have to spend $1,000 on a new trolling motor. MG should have giving me a new one. This motor is obviuosly defective. The bad part is everybody knows I just bought the boat in 07, and cant believe this MG keeps braking. I will never buy MG ever ever agian. They should not even make this model and Basscat should not let them put it on their boats. When I brake down because of MG everybody sees a Basscat boat broke, not MG. Theres more but my blood pressure just shot up because of this and I have to spend $1,000 for a new trolling motor, thats BS I bought the boat in 07.
