I have ordered a Torqeedo for my PA12. I wanted to install it on the rear deck where it can be raised or lowered but not steered, but the folks at the store were concerned that it would not steer very well, especially in a crosswind. The advantages, at least for me, are that it will kick up if it hits something whereas it is fixed in place in the Mirage port and more likely to sustain damage, and I could peddle and use the motor together. If anyone has experience or an opinion on this I can still select either one so you would help me. Thanks.
