Hot foot

[jgreco]

Guys any thoughts about using a hot foot. I have a bullet bass boat and never used one. Good or bad Idea.
Thanks for any input.

I am on my seventh bass boat and this is the first one I have had with a hot foot. Man, I love that thing. emoThumbsupI have it on my Ranger 519VX with a 200. Should have got one years ago. It makes a big difference once you get use to it, you can keep both hands on the wheel and slow down without moving anything but your foot. I strongly suggest getting one.emoToast Jmax

I agree. My current boat had one when I purchased it. I could not imagine having a high performance boat without one.

the only way to go with the speed we go now,keeps both hands on the wheel emoToast

I have a Stratos with a 150 Johnson , I think it is great.because you can control it with both hands on the
wheel.No problem running at high speed as most of us do.

Have one on my Stratos and do like it alot. One down side can be those long runs my old leg gets to cramping up and at that time wish I did not have it. But the good outweighs the bad.

One thing hard for me to get use to with my hotfoot was trying to find the brake pedal.LOL

I found mine on e-gay. I had to use the over the top model and all the local dealers wanted $50.00 + more than what I paid on line.

I will never own a boat with out one.

I would not have a go fast fishin' boat without one! Both hands on the wheel is nice when you're flyin' across the pond.

Started to use hotfoots for safety, throttle resets in case that kill cord is not attached. I love it and wouldn't have it anyway. If you do get one, make sure you put it on the floor just right or get the adjustable plate.

it is the safest thing you can put on a boat! if you fall out or get thrown out the engine goes to an idle which will keep it from turning and running over you (which it always seems to do if it has the old type hand throttle. and always use your kill switch attached to you!! believe me if i hadn't i would not be here to tell you today!
