Took it out Friday. The weather turned bad in the PM, with wind blowing around 20, barometer falling, temps falling, and even a little light rain. OK, so the fish weren't going bite... :x At least I got a chance to check out the trolling motor updates.
The i-Pilot works like a champ!
Holds course better than the old Autopilot did, and I really like the "Spot Lock." You hit spot lock and it holds the boat over that point regardless of wind or current. It will also save 3 spots, so if you come back, all you do is get within 1/4 mile and it will take you back to the saved spot and hold you there. On Friday, I used the depthfinder to locate a pile of old Christmas trees in about 20 feet of water, hit the spot lock, and the boat stayed over the spot - you don't have to worry about drifting off your spot. The spot lock controls motor speed and direction to keep you on the spot.
And one other thing I like - the remote floats.
I've dropped way to many things over the side already.
