I tried, and tried, and tried... to figure out how to edit the post from last night, then found that it can't.

I'm embarrassed that I got your name wrong,JAY! ( I know that Jim is your fishing buddy who tightlines from the front) My fingers were still numb, and my brain hadn't completely thawed back out yet.

Yes sir... whatever trolling motor that I decide on will have the autopilot feature (and that spot lock makes me drool.) I've never had a "drive by wire" TM, and the Terrova is expensive. The Ultrex is even more. I don't need the auto deploy feature, and don't know if the cable drive is worth the added expense.

Whichever I decide on, I'll be adding the HB 360 on the front as well...

After purchasing the boat new in August, I've added the Helix 10 Mega SI at the console (WOW,) and Helix 12 (not mega) DI at the bow. I'm ashamed to admit (not really) that I'm completely ignorant pertaining to any electronics (computers in general,) and can't take full advantage of what I've already gotten (yet.) My computer at home is a Mac, and isn't compatible with the HB... I've not gotten a card for the unit yet (screenshots,) and also have not installed Lakemaps, either.

I'd just like to pass along my appreciation for your willingness to pass along your knowledge concerning this passion we call crappie fishing. Whether you realize it or not, you do a great service to us "junior fellows" with respect to time and expense in our pursuit of the finest eating freshwater fish on the planet!

Thanks for your willingness to help others along!
