Went this afternoon to check on my spot lock . The new batteries fixed the kicking off issue. Simply not enough voltage with one of the batteries deader than a door nail. It's a 24 volt system. So the one battery was doing the work of 2 as far as operating the foot pedal. I don't have to go up on the settings to move along at good clip.

Was very windy, and cold at 50 degree air and high winds. So I stopped in an exposed area on main lake and engaged spot lock and worked perfectly. Got some rods out and sat there tying baits. No problems.

Because the foot pedal worked before I was surprised this fixed it, thought sure the I-pilot head had to be replaced.

Have yet to have issues with power cord but because I do not run Humminbird I do have a power cord that would sync this motor to Humminbird. Just ty it up and it's out of the way too.

Best thing I've ever added to a boat--Ultrex.
