[QUOTE="Crow Terminator, post: 5340441, member: 220"] Spotlock is great in wind/current BUT it does position the boat to where it is facing into it. You have to take that into consideration and plan accordingly. Using your post about being upwind from the crappie and catching them...if you had spotlock you would have had to either spotlock down wind of them and try throwing into the wind from the front of the boat...or spotlock upwind from them, and just fish from the back of the boat instead of the front. It will always spin you around to where the bow is facing into the wind or current. It's by far the best upgrade I have put on the boat. It will expose bad or weak batteries though. Having the trolling motor constantly on and using variable speeds to maintain position, apparently draws a lot of amps. My boat is a 2021 and came with Interstate group 27 deep cycle batteries. I've already had to replace one of them; trolling motor would die after just 2-3 hrs. One of the batteries was dropping down to 9.3 volts. [/QUOTE]
