Works great....I liked it because it was automatic.....did not have a cable to pull when you got through trolling....Its spring loaded and all you got to do when you get through trolling is take off. Satdoc used one like this for years....I used one for two years.....my boat came unhooked from my truck in my yard and the boat hit my shop and damaged it....I bought a new one but never used it....I traded boats and got a Terrova to pull crankbaits with so I have a new trolling plate that I do not need. I will make you a deal on it....send me a PM.
