Really nice unit...impressed! Thanks for putting this video out.

[@json2763]

Thanks for the video.....this is helping me with my decision on which trolling motor to get and i'm leaning towards the Move. 👍👍

[@Natureboy1607]

Very impressive ! I will have one on my boat by next spring ! Thanks for the video .

[@renaudtheis1197]

Very nice. I never minded the prop noise but the direction motor on the ultrex is so noisy it drives me crazy. I seen it scare fish away a lot more than the prop. This is nice.

[@bcallisjr]

Looks great! Great videos on it! Seems very quiet. Impressive!!

[@JohnCrews]

It is!

[@BeeJayBaits]

Awesome video, just got my first move and absolutely love it. My question is not about the move though. What nav light are you running on your poles?

[@notsogood6249]

Enjoyed the demo. Me personally, I'm still on the fence on purchasing one, because of dealers that have parts in stock or technicians certified to repair one if anything happens to it. The second reason is 5K, I feel it is a little high for something that has not proven to be reliable. Yes, I agree Power Pole has excellent Customer Service, but that will not help me if it goes down if I cannot get it repaired by a local dealer. My 3rd concern will be the warranty. I think they only give a 3 year on it, but I could be wrong.

[@keithgyulveszi163]

Lifetime warranty on the shaft, 3 years everything else. As far as “technicians”, that is the last thing I would worry about. It’s not like the other big brands service techs get your broke tm fixed the same day unless they have a service trailer at the tournament which 99% of tournaments do not get that luxury. One thing I know for sure is Power-Pole will take care of my Move in a expedited time regardless of the warranty with just one phone call! No more “you need to take it to one of our certified technicians to have it diagnosed before we can do anything” run arounds. Power-Pole Customer service is second to none in the industry!

[@notsogood6249]

@@keithgyulveszi163 I appreciate your reply, I rather just wait and see what/any issues pop up with their TM, before I invest 5K. I have been running Minn Kota for years and only ever had 1 issue (mother board). Where I live, I'm lucky to have an authorized Minn Kota Service center and was in/out within 1 hour. I did not have to make any phones calls, paperwork, or do the work myself. I hope you never have an issue with yours.

[@user-pk5cn1ux2x]

Sorry for the duplicate posts. My phone was showing it was posting so I clicked again 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@codyhooser3333]

Great video brother. Is your next tournament this weekend?

[@user-pk5cn1ux2x]

So after having the “move” for several months how is it holding up? And have you had any issues with the “ump” plate or the bolts that hold the trolling motor to the ump plate. I know you used lock tight. Thanks for great videos 👍.

[@PMantle]

How precise are small movements? I was not happy with the Force in that aspect and the reason I have hung on to cable steer.

[@JohnCrews]

Great question. It is very precise IMO and you can slow down the turning through the app so it will be even more precise if you want it.

[@Senkomaniac]

Very nice. Does it have mounting holes for a Mega360 and if so, does it require a special bracket?

[@JohnCrews]

Yes it does.

[@allencasal]

John does it have the “Jog” feature that Minn-Kota has ?

[@JohnCrews]

It sure does.

[@timroyall6513]

Is that deploy rope actually rope? Man, for 5 K I would have thought that would have been upgraded! Love it other than that!

[@JohnCrews]

I initially thought same but there is no pinch point so the stiff wire is not needed.

[@nathankromke6574]

How is the response time between the pedal and head when you want to turn left or right.

[@JohnCrews]

Instant

[@russbrown3159]

good video. How is it for super shallow operations? Can it be raised high enough?

[@jerekarsenault]

Will this link up to humminbird fish finders and follow paths and depth contours etc like the minn kota motors

[@southerngurlfishing2561]

Hey John , I'm not seeing a directional arrow, does it have one? If not that seems it be tough to use livescope without being on a turret

[@JohnCrews]

The head turns the direction of the motor like Ultrex. I played with it and was not hard to target cast. Good question.

[@southerngurlfishing2561]

@JohnCrews thanks for the reply, I run a Ghost now but could be an option in the future

[@basscatlildave]

Very impressive. Let’s see how it does in grass

[@JohnCrews]

It’s incredible in grass. Will do

[@NytronX]

I'll drag race you with my Lowrance Ghost. 😅

[@UnLikeU]

Nice.

[@jawsmod]

Looks nice. Appreciate your "install" vids. Would love to see more on running your wiring/network/nmea2000, etc.. I ordered a Puma and will have it in a couple weeks. I went with the Ghost. I just can't get myself to spend $5k for a trolling motor..... and if someone says to me you already spent $100k, what's another few thousand.... :( . Yes it's a lot of money and I'm not rich. It's always easy to spend some else's money. 🙂

[@JohnCrews]

Got it!

[@jawsmod]

@@JohnCrews I will say this about PP and I purchased PP Blades for the Puma just because of this. I had an issue with my current PP and they took care of it immediately with ZERO hassle. Oh and it was out of warranty too.

[@Stinkybeard]

The Ghost is a great trolling motor, you will NOT be disappointed!!

[@bassngal3314]

Wish they made longer shaft lengths for saltwater

[@JohnCrews]

They make 72”

[@drewculbreth4805]

Seen any issues with interference on electronics?

[@JohnCrews]

Not yet. ZERO with Livescope

[@codyhooser3333]

Yes sir ❤

[@erehwon777]

Quiet, yes, but awkward to adjust trim, which has to be done manually. Needs to have remote auto trim to be effective for super shallow water.

[@JohnCrews]

Not possible to trim any TM up and down mechanically

[@erehwon777]

@@erehwon777different style of trolling motor. They don’t have the cable steer feel to them that most bass anglers prefer either.

[@TheWoodyem]

That display screen will blind you during night fishing.

[@JohnCrews]

You can control the brightness

[@grat8436]

Anybody have a 360 mount yet?

[@thenextstep5622]

I was looking forward to retiring and getting rid of my phone and just fishing.

[@JohnCrews]

Not yet. Heck, you need a phone if you get a newer car.

[@VernonReynoldsFishing]

20 seconds to calibrate when you drop it in the water??? Thats insane

[@stringoverbet2790]

Prob just one time

[@robbiesutton372]

Why don't you give your old to one of your subs?

[@JohnCrews]

I will have to do a giveaway for subs but it won't be the old one because it is sold.

[@codyhooser3333]

So quiet

[@johnm1619]

WOW $5K

[@Stinkybeard]

Definitely EXPENSIVE!! I think it may be worth it to someone who makes ALL of their money from fishing. Other than those guys it's going to be for the guys that have to have the very very best of everything. if you spend half of that money you can get a great trolling motor, but it will not have near the amount of features nor will it be nearly as quiet which maybe the difference between a few more bites throughout the day or throughout a tournament and it may matter for a professional tournament. angler.
