Dutch Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I haven't seen him launch but I've seen Bob Bennett let his float around while he gets the truck. Then he brings it back and loads it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cart7 Posted February 21, 2015 Members Share Posted February 21, 2015 Not 100% new. Minn Kota came out with the Genesis around 10 years ago. Same deal, auto stow and deploy. As I recall it was plagued with problems, mostly the stow and deploy feature. Pretty cool though. If they can get the head turning speed issues fixed with those I can see those being on more and more boats including bass boats. BTW, from what I've heard, that TM's release has been slightly delayed due to "issues". Not sure what the issues are but with a price tag of well over $2000 they better make sure they've got the bugs out of it or they'll have another Genesis on their hands.

Feathers and Fins Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Ya saw it and then said to myself after thinking about it. With wake boats, jetskies and just other boaters you launch without control of your boat you may end up damaging it or others and if you forget to turn the power on to the unit you could find yourself watching the boat float away and no chance to get it back anytime soon. This could be the one time I would sit back and not help someone because of their own stupidity relying to much on technology instead of a good old fashion rope.
