Pointing the boat into the wind and hitting the anchor lock allowed us to work our baits in the area around the boat in search of scattered Crappie. Once that area is worked, would just hit the foward button on the remote twice to move us up 10'. I've fished a boat with an XI5 and one with a Terrova with anchor. The XI5 reacts if the TM moves about 2'. The Terrova was slow to react and at times we were 15-20' from the marker bouy before it fired up. I really like the Motor Guide!
Reaper, that is really great to hear! MG beats MK hands down, no contest, not even close!!!
