i'm fixin to pull the trigger on one myself but one thing im unsure of is the universal sonar for my bow unit (hbird 688di). my understanding is those built in transducers are only gonna give you sonar, the di is not going to function. is that right or wrong.Quote:

That is correct, 2D only no DIQuote:

The jog feature is going to be incredible too when wanting to really work an area over precisely. Coming from a cable drive motor my whole life their was absolutely no adjustment period for me and the foot pedal of this one which I thought was great

I have watched two videos and they spend most of the time discussing spot lock. However, they never mention or show using the remote to actually steer or adjust speed. SO is it exactly like my terrova meaning I do not need the foot control at all to do everything including steer.
It's exactly like a terrova and exactly like a fortrex. You can use the remote or foot pedal at any time. Does everything your terrova does plus steers easy, fast,& quiet like a cable steer when you decide to go poke grass. I like it because I can long line, push jigs, single pole,etc and not have to swap out motors like I have been having to do
