[QUOTE="RiverBottomOutdoors, post: 247774, member: 3912"] For how I use my boat, hand control is the best option. Here's what I like about it. -Quick response. You maneuver the motor in the direction you want quickly....no delay from foot controls or electric motor turning the motor. -Drive the motor by feel. You don't have to look at it to know which direction you're going. -Use it sitting or standing. No playing stork like with a foot control. -No foot control to trip over on the deck, using a wireless remote ties up one hand -Intuitive. You don't have to "get use" to a foot pedal or learn a remote. -When I bowfish, I have two people on the bow. If I get a fish on, my buddy can take over driving the motor easily. -Simpler design...less to go wrong. -No hitting the pedal and almost throwing yourself off the boat. The advantages that a foot or wireless motor has over a hand control are inconsequential and fewer than the disadvantages. At lest in my application. Disadvantages.... Not totally hands free. More difficult to control boat in strong wind and strong current when casting. [/QUOTE]
