I assume you are after a bow mount
What features
Budget
If you are just after a no frills 12 volt motor with a bit extra grunt have a look at the watersnake65lb https://www.dinga.com.au/watersnake-combat-crc65-54-bow-mount-with-remote-and-free-dinga-fishing-shirt.html
Jervis walker service is superb .
If you desire features such as spot lock you will be looking at a lot more money.
Haswing have a new model coming soon.
Lowrance are bringing out their own brand soon but no info yet available and no info available with their arrangement with the current interaction with motorguide motors.
Minn kota and motorguide features identical Minn kota interact with humminbird sounders whilst motorguide interact with lowrance.
If you want auto stow and deploy Minnkota ulterra are the ducks guts but are only available in 24 or 36 volt motos ane are up around the 5k mark now
Minn kota have their own dedicated service division and have spare parts avai; fpr motors going back 20 years.
Motorguide servicing is done by your local mercury agent who may or may not be experienced with motorguide ok if it under warranty as they will just keep changing parts till fixed but it it is out of warranty you pay for their inexperience. They only keep parts for 10 years.
IF you are on the northside Worthwhile dropping in to northside marine and having a yarn with Glen in the spare parts section or on southside talk to Daz at Cleveland Marine. Daz is ex BLA minn kota tech.
