"Rivers and the inhabitants of the watery elements are for wise men to contemplate and for fools to pass by without consideration" -Izaak Walton
I have that exact TM on my Scout flats boat, I came from a long background on foot control and bow tiller models- have had it 1 year
My likes-cruise control keeps you at a set movement speed regardless of wind and current, heading keeps you on a course same way, spot lock anchor holds your TM in a 5' circle- want to move 10' to the right while anchored- just push the jog right arrow twice, you can drive the boat with the TM from anywhere with the remote
My dislikes- the designer put the throttle on the top and the steering on the bottom when looking at the remote- totally backwards, when you're using the anchor feature in shallow water- it can suddenly blow out the spot you are fishing as it hits full speed to return you to the GPS point instead of slowly increasing power- also if you have variable winds it sometimes works overtime spinning in different directions to hold you in place-- a foot control is 50x more precise without looking for fine boat positioning- like when bass fishing cypress trees- it also makes you look at the remote and use one hand to do anything.
I jumped in the bow in my buddies Ranger yesterday bass fishing with a foot control TM and never had to look down, use a hand or push the wrong button once.
My satisfaction is 90%- they have an optional foot control that just plugs in , I'm going to get one just for bass, panfish and close range dock fishing
I’ve been looking for one with spotlock and it seems nobody has one, has anyone found an online shop that has them in stock?
Make sure you get the saltwater model. I heard the warranty is voided of you take a freshwater model in the salt.
