I'm wondering if all the newer trolling motors now have spot lock features or is this just for the Minn Kota? Thanks

My spot lock is a rope tied to a tree

Spot lock and iTrack are my two favorite features. On the Tn River, I can record a route, play it back and just sit in the boat while the TM does all the work.
He is truly a sick individual.

If yours doesn't have it and all you have is a cheap 5 speed get the Autoboat GPS Pro Anchor System.

I got talked into an iPilot on my previous boat, even though I had specified a tiller model TM. I hated that thing. Spot Lock was the only feature I liked about that motor, but I rarely needed it. Working docks & rocks for snook, or chasing tarpon at the jetties or in the surf, a remote controlled TM is worse than useless; it's a hindrance. I preferred a tiller motor on the bass boat, and it's even better on my poling skiff. But most of my fishing is in less than a foot of water, and the TM is rarely mounted on the boat. And if any of you other TM part-time users are considering a Power Pux, I can heartily recommend it after over six months of using it. I love mine. It's so nice to have no plugs or wires on the deck to snag my fly line.

I bought the ultrex couple years ago. First time getting it on the water 2 weeks ago. Damn was I being spoiled. Throwing magdrafts for smallies and wind blowing 12-15mph....that was probably the funnest day on my magnum 197 boat handling wise. World of difference. Ain't no going back now.

Every brand has a spot lock feature in certain models.
