Nice.....
Uhhh...
Just as meaningless as the last time too. 
I have seen them advertised for as low as $349 - albeit they (just like you ) have vaporware for sale....
I should just CALL Lee & see if he has it installed yet....LOL
I'll be getting mine from Uncle Jim & Dick Cabela , but it won't be until after the first quarter of 2010 - I have a dream!!
The Minn Kota techs told Lee & I both that the big boyZ would have them for Distro 1st and you can bet Cabela's will always have stock before West does.

Why is it you refuse to shop and buy anything locally Robert? I can meet or beat any major retailer's advertised price on Minn Kota products. Humminbird and Lowrance too.
By the way, the $1499 Humminbird 997 with NVB advertised on Cabelas website is a misprint/mistake. My friend Marc ordered one and it does NOT have the NVB, which Cabelas admitted to him was a misprint that would be revised asap. They did however send him a Platinum Navionics chip to make it up to him.

My understanding is that West has actually shipped some units. My local wests didn't even know what I was talking about. I have a couple months to go, lakes is going to be hard for a while........

That's because of all the store managers in Michigan, I am the only fisherman (and I do know all the other managers). Therefore I "know things" most of the others won't. Much of which I learn here!

0' , QUIT whining about your motor Justin , if you were as serious about getting it remedied as you are about b!tchin' about it - you would have had it taken care of MONTHS ago.
SCREW the incompetent idiots @ D&R , right in the eye socket. Deal directly with Minn Kota , I always have & have NOTHING but great things to say about JOI.
I shop & buy PLENTY of things "here" Mike. But when I go to the "local" suppliers and ALL I get are dumb looks & shoulder shrugs , I go to who will get me what I want.
Go to Gander for Triple Grip trebles , "Uh - that's all we got , what's on the shelf" 
Try to find some 5" Super Rogues in this damn Dutch$@$$z town (GR).
Try to find a #10 Purple Gold Deep X-Rap.... I dare ya.
How about a 6'6" Shimano Compre that's NOT $20 over list price??
If somebody has what I want & they are not trying to pull down my red flannels at the same time , I buy it.
Plain & Simple.
As far as what you 'heard' Paul , "VaporWare" - - until I see it myself.
I think I am supposed to get a special 'gift' next quarter if things work out - then I will be right there with my buddy brigeton - trollin' along and lovin' the new technology , I won't be the first on the block - but that's OK too.
Cable steer is nice , but this is NICER - at least for what I do.

I made a deal with a kid at work today. He gets me an Ipilot and spare remote, and I will give him a long shaft 70# Minn auto pilot with copilot and two remotes. I might even throw in a couple of big Delco Voyagers if he hits me in the right mood......

RAS - i emailed your boy and he told me to submit a form via the minn kota website... so i did. they said to mail it directly to the service center and they would fix it.
i'll probably just drop it off somewhere else locally.. i'm not paying shipping on that thing even if i do get reimbursed.
Doesn't change the fact the thing breaks every season.. thus making it a hunk of

Dude... Call Grand Rapids Communications (West River Drive east of the ballpark). They are the only local authorized Minn Kota repair facility. I've had good luck sending customers there and he's helped me out the two times I've had Minn Kota issues in the past. Have him fix it on MK's tab then sell it BEFORE you put it back on your boat!!
