Spot Lock on trolling motors?

[pintail311]

Yes, there are a few settings to tell the motor to "sneak" up to the spot, and a couple to tell the motor the weight of the boat.

Without those being RIGHT, you're effed.

Thanks Geo. So I need to go into some settings on the unit? I assume that is on the hand control? I guess I will do some research.

They tend to go overboard if it's the Gen 2 and you do not have a compass linked to it. The puck makes a huge difference. And, yes, you can adjust the motor to compensate for having too much or too little motor on the boat. They have a chart where you can see if you need to change it or not based on the weight of your boat and the thrust of the motor.

Thank you everyone for the input on this. I probably will not be able to get it until next season; but being convinced it works; I am going to get one.
