    Looking to put an I pilot on my Minn Kota Powerdrive V2 with 42lb thrust which comes with the new Super Guide. When you go to there website their powerdrives start at 55 lb thrust and up. This one is not listed anywhere. I'm wondering if my motor is compatible with the i pilot?

    If you live in Canada do you have to have lifejackets that are Canadian Coast Guard Approved or can you buy your lifejackets in the U.S.A.? I realize lifejackets are lifejackets but I'm wondering about the legal aspect of it.
