Darn the bad luck.  There was a meat thermometer on amazon a couple months ago that was normally like 29$ but they had it .29 cents.  The guy in the next office got two of em but they caught it before I could get one.

I've been around quite a few of these tm's. Foot pedal steering not working was main issue. Every one had the plastic slotted piece break where the cable goes into the head. Handle ropes were always wearing out just a thin little string. Mounting bracket was weak and had cracking issues.. I fished with it a few times.It moved a 16' boat with 2 people fairly well but had to bump it up to 3 speed to get it to turn and steer easier,where by myself I'd  use 1 or 2 setting. It would go about 5-6 hours max on a full charge with 2 people. On a windy day 4-5 hours and I was always swapping batteries out throughout the day. Batteries were good batteries too, not old.

Maybe they make them differently now than they used to🤔

A friend has a Minn Kota in the same price range. I've used it and it's been more reliable. The only issue has been the handle rope breaking. Also like the Minn foot pedal better than the MG's.  It sits flush on the deck,doesn't scoot around like the MG. MG seemed to work better if you screwed it down,but then it was uncomfortable to fish out of either side of the boat in a seated position. The Minn I could put anywhere on the deck to make it comfy on the legs.

 Idk why they put such cheap rope on the lower end 12v models on either brand.
