Thanks....Well I have the Ulterra. It is all electric.....push a button and it deploys...push a button and it stows. Now all that is nice but if my batteries get too low...which will not happen under normal fishing for me......but if battery goes bad on water I have to take the cover off where the motor mounts to boat and engage a lever to get it stowed back. Not something I would look forward to doing. Hopefully it won't happen. As for the iPilot itself it is an amazing tool. Spot lock works great in a current or wind....works OK on flat calm water but the bow may...or may not stay pointed in the direction you first set it to. The boat however stays within a few feet of where you want it to...just the bow may not be pointing where you want. In current or wind though it stays where you put it. Also love the auto pilot....cruise control.
