Another vote for Scotty electric's. Very trouble free,(they carry a free lifetime warranty) I have had mine for 3 years now and only had 1 switch go bad and one counter, John's Sporting Goods in Everett is a service center and I paid $3.00 postage and got them back in the same week. I bought my 1105 adjustables at the HUB in Abbotsford for around $300 Canadian and you get your GST back at the border and you are allowed $200 (American) duty free, so take you wife or who ever for a drive and a nice lunch and save a bunch of money.
If you use a kicker for fishing, spend 40-50 bucks on a prop guard on you will not have to worry about hanging up in the prop. Plus w/electrics, you can check your bait often w/o wearing out your arm.
