[QUOTE="TNtroller, post: 312041, member: 4251"] have seen those you posted advertised but no 1st hand experience with 'em. Why not just get a MK with auto pilot or Ipilot depending on the type of fishing you do. I have a MK Terrova 55 12v w/Ipilot on my Tracker PT 175 and I troll/longline for crappie the majority of the time. With the gps abilities and all the other things it does, it frees me up to relax/enjoy my fishing trip more than just a foot controlled TM, and I can troll at .6mph up to 1.4mph/gps for 6-8 hrs on a single battery. when I get home, battery still has 50% or more charge. The IP has anchor lock (electronic gps anchor), cruise, gps heading control, can record trolling tracks along the shore line/over structure, and several other things that are nice and convenient. The autopilot has magnetic bearing cruise vs gps on IP, and speed control. Both are well worth the $$ IMO. I'm glad I upgraded to the IP, life is good on the water. :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
