Ok. On reflection this evening (after a day of over-the-phone blank stares from minn kota and lenco dealers when asked about fitting L actuators to a MK control system) - I think I concur with the 'out with the old system, in with a new' philosophy.

To me - it seems both Lenco and Bennets are well regarded brands. The Lenco system appeals due to it's similarity to the MK sytem - ie without the need for a hydraulic pump.

May I ask - it sems that [at least in this thread] their seems to be a majority recomending Bennets. MAy I ask why those recomending Bennets are so passionate (it seems) about the Bennets. Is it more than 'never let me down' - is there a known history of Lenco failures that you guys know about etc?

Thanks.
