Foot control troll motor on bay boat?

[Judge]

Not sure if I've ever seen a foot control (cables) trolling motor on bay boat. Can anyone think of why. What are pros and cons?

[Ron Fogelson]

quick google search showed Ranger, Nitro, Kenner all with foot control and skeeter a mix of both,,,, never had one Mike but would think its just mostly preference but would say that could be backed by larger waves/swells more often and the anglers liking both feet firmly planted.

Also I see them locked down with power pole type anchors for longer times rather then trolling cypress trees

I was always told that they didn't have foot controls because of corrosion. The cables would corrode and eventually break. Life sux after a long drive out just to have it break... But they are pretty easy to change and a person could carry spares. Most cables are only about $25 each side.
