I'm picking up my 06 170CC tomorrow. Ordered a Minnkota saltwater 55 with autopilot. Mainly got the autopilot because it allows you to use an optional "copilot" control that mounts on your fishing rod and communicates with the trolling motor via radio freq. Its about the size of one those key-fobs that unlock car doors, beep the horn etc. remotely. I think it also includes a footpedal, but if the copilot system works, I won't be using it much.
No bow rails on my boat, so that wasnt an issue. We do a lot of shallow water casting in Chesapeake Bay creeks.
