Buttons off the pedal is ideal for me. I often fish at night, in wind/waves, and in winter id be wearing cumbersome boots. So dexterity and foot control is poor, resulting in frequently pressing buttons accidentally. The simplicity of the remote and pedal are a MASSIVE drawcard for me
On the pedal for space management. I would like to have the big motor trim switch on the pedal as well. My boat is not like an aircraft carrier......space and ease of access are important. With a dozen rods and huge monitors, the ability to toggle a trim switch with a foot can be impossible.
Byron, it may be an advantage to you to go smashing yr way through the weed beds to access better fishing spots. In Australia, a big part of getting a boat licence, is learning not to disturb fish havens and habitat, i.e. weed beds. If all the tournament anglers are churning up fish and other species habitat, there’ll be no fish to catch. Am I wrong?😊
No because new weeds grow rapidly and chopped up weeds blow in and create weed mats for habitat & regrow where they float to. But it is best practice to leave them undisturbed but honestly folks already run through stuff like crazy & it’s not a source of habitat problems unlike our bigger problems (weed spraying & water quality issues such as Lake Okeechobee, which can all be fixed with gov meeting with locals to actually fix issues. )
Really great review. I would like to disagree with you on the propulsion noise. For the style of fishing I do, inshore salt-water sight fishing - where noise really matters, the motor is a complete game changer. At the speeds where we would normally fish, 1 through 4 say, the Move is silent. I'm guessing you are showing speed 17, which was never meant to be silent and you would never stalk fish at those speeds. I made my own review of the Move on my channel where I show how silent it is over on the flats in Mosquito Lagoon. I can say with authority you can run sleeping redfish and trout over with the Move without budging them, and our inshore fish are notoriously spooky.
Im fine with the parking, but..... the single lane ramp? people take forever to get on and off the trailer there. Also with a large trailer its weird how you have to pull to the left and then back down
Great review, it’s good to see companies admit where they got things wrong and that they genuinely want to work to improve things. If this is their first effort at a new product, even if they have someone who has made these before for another company, future could be bright for the product.
A company needs to come back out with the Evinrude trolling motor , it was the best motor , weedless , and the way the the head of the motor hooked to the pole grass could not get caught
It's funny you say thins because I still have my grandfathers Evinrude trolling motor. I love it.. I agree with you mdbassin though. I only run this on my jon boat. Putting this on a fiberglass I dont think it would provide enough thrust to be useful.
@@411sponge72 I had a 12/24 volt with 56 pounds of thrust a foot control on a 21 ft bass boat w a 200 outboard , mine worked great , I’ve owned these trolling motors on 3 different boats in my life
yep BTH it is a very gud motor, especially for their first attempt. cool their open to feed bak n will(hopefully)fix that stow logic problem in the coming year n gen 2 will be that little bit better again. like u mate, got on board with the media hype from the press releases n interviews. all i cud think bout was the advantage this wud give me sight casting barra n chasing Tuskies on the flats off Airlie Beach but after seeing the demo with Steve n wat was happening in the tank my brain found its way bak to earth. no electric motor will be silent(they can be quieter)there r to many moving parts above/below water for total silence. also on my boat the MK, Birds n Talons r fully integrated as is the Garmin n Lowrance products. since Power Pole dont make electronics this cud be their time for innovation in the industry by giving the owners of the Move the ability to integrate wat transducer brand they prefer. if Power Pole put that in their gen2 which wud give me my total boat network i wud buy it. buttons, for me i wud prefer the buttons on the pedal but with the ability to mount the others on the dash or at the bak somewhere. hopefully u will have a review on the brushless MK in due course.
Hey Stephen! 100% I hope to give it a try… going MK though means literally changing EVERYTHING on the boat! (Electronics) Always love to here as your thoughts bud.
To the comments about him chopping vegetation, you’re a bit uninformed on the conditions he is in. Yes, that can damage habitat in some locations such as sea grass. But in the freshwater lakes around him in Orlando, FL this is not the case. In fact, many lakes are sprayed with herbicide to prevent it from taking over. He mentioned hydrilla which is actually an invasive species. Great for fishing but invasive none the less.
Great video. As cool as ot may be, 5k for a trolling motor is a rip! No chance ill ever soend that amount for a trolling motor. Prices are getting more and more out of reach for a regurlar guy. Ill stick with the sub 1k used models like i run now. Maxxum 101 36v minn kota for 450$. Been going for 6 years non stop.
No remote stow/deploy??? No remote trim??? From the company that based its brand identity on push-button anchoring??? Useless for serious shallow water fishing.
Thanks for sharing mate appreciate your thoughts! If I think about it, there’s really only one brand that went with that idea and that whilst marketing was great around it… I’m aware the push button deploy wasn’t exactly a hit. Maybe that’s why PP went with no auto deploy.
@@ByronTeaHill Thanks for the reply. Push button deploy/stow/trim is hugely popular here in the US. Yes, there have been some mechanical issues over the years, but I use those features constantly, and in the long run, that's the manufacturer's challenge to solve. I have been using Minn-Kota Riptide Ulterra for seven years of hard use in salt water. While I can't say I've never had a problem, they're mostly self-inflicted. I just put down a deposit for one of their new Instinct Quest motors, which is supposed to be shipping here in the US this fall. It has brushless motor, auto deploy/trim, etc., plus some new features, so I'm eager to see how that works out. The price is about $4300.00 (US) so a little less than the PP motor. I'm a big fan of PowerPole as a company and own three PP anchoring devices across two boats. Great company but I was really disappointed with lack of remote deploy/stow/trim in their motors.
Note: Just because you can chop vegetation doesn’t mean you should. aAgree? Buttons on the pedal or buttons off the pedal? Let me know
Buttons on, keeps it neat and all in the same area.
Buttons off the pedal is ideal for me. I often fish at night, in wind/waves, and in winter id be wearing cumbersome boots. So dexterity and foot control is poor, resulting in frequently pressing buttons accidentally. The simplicity of the remote and pedal are a MASSIVE drawcard for me
I prefer on the pedal
On the pedal for space management. I would like to have the big motor trim switch on the pedal as well. My boat is not like an aircraft carrier......space and ease of access are important. With a dozen rods and huge monitors, the ability to toggle a trim switch with a foot can be impossible.
Thx for the heads up - I was thinking about the purchase, but may wait for a few years
This looks like a prime example of why it can be good to wait for version 2.0 especially at that price. Awesome review.
Yeah, It’s definitely valid to think that way, but like I said it’s one’s and zeros. They’ll fix it over the interwebs 😂

Yeah dude, 100% you are right. Just because you can trample vegetation doesn't mean you should ;)

that is a ridiculous comment that has nothing to do with a boat licence
Excellent review Byron!
Thanks for watching Tom!
From someone currently in the market for a new trolling motor, thanks!
Always my pleasure!
Get a ultrex or quest. The Garmin motors are good to

Idk why but my favourite part of this video was seeing a quiver of Millerods in a Florida marsh.
Great review. You’re right PP has the hands down best customer service. I’ve caught monsters on John’s ; Great Lake. Crappy parking 😂
Im fine with the parking, but..... the single lane ramp? people take forever to get on and off the trailer there. Also with a large trailer its weird how you have to pull to the left and then back down
@@Connor-zb4uo it’s not fun when 3 different clubs fish a tourney the same day. Which is standard for me to see because I only did tournaments
I love that Lake County has such a great UA-cam presence
I recognized johns lake boat ramp pretty quick

Yes but not enough power for todays boat
@@mdbassin6267 if it would come back , a company could make a 36 volt too , that’s easy

I mounted mine too far forward , but noticed it before I went out.
hey bryon what do you think about using a manual powerpole for a kayak?
You mean the powerpole micro anchor that HWS sell? I've loved mine.
@@ByronTeaHill ok thanks for your input

Love power pole. But this makes me lean to the new ultrex
You should try MotorGuide Tour Pro trolling motor, works great.
Worth every penny
Hey mate can you recommend me a reel for flathead 250 to 270 2500 thanks in advance 🤙🤙🤙
How accurate is the spotlock feature?
Pretty good mate, kept me within a foot whenever I used it
Nice, that's a very important feature to me. Maybe do a short video on that alone?
Very expensive but hopefully, improvements come with the following models
I hope so too dude. You’re up early! Finish your night shift?
@ByronTeaHill nah mate on one of those rare dayshifts I do unfortunately.... it's very weird being up at this time haha
vampire. watch out for the sunlight!
They have great service
Take a breather !!! SHEESH
I"ll stick with my Minn Kota i-Pilot Link.
The reason I’m waiting for it to be sold directly is, no one cares about my boat as much as I do
They had the luxury of watching Garmin trip all over themselves w the force
The fishing industry has gone nuts with engineering. I just got this motor. It’s bad ass. I’ve had 4 forces. It’s better than them.
The heck did all the grey hair came from lol
