Spot lock and I-pilot TMs?
I have an older 16.5 ft fiberglass bass boat that I am using a 12 v Motorguide X-3 55lb thrust TM. Planning to eventually going to a Spot Lock/I-Pilot setup with Spot Lock being the thing I will use the most. What are some recommendations from you guys for a TM I need to pair up with my 93sv Plus unit on my TM? 55lb thrust seems to be enough power and at present I have 2 12v batteries setup in Parallel but at times more thrust might be helpful. I have those 2 batteries for TM, then a 3rd one for my Garmins and then a 4th Starter battery.
Thanks

Is anyone using the Motorguide x5 24v 80 thrust TM. It seems to be the best price and I think it only has Spot Lock which is all I want and would not have to pay the extra money for i-Pilot stuff. I have always had Motorguide TM but seem Minn Kota is a TM most guys use a lot.

I have the MG Xi5 80lb 24v. I have only used it one season so far and have been pretty happy with it. I love the anchor mode and use it quite a bit. The only drawback for me is the pedal. It has taken me a while to get used to it and I have gotten better at it. There are times when I miss a cable steer. It is nice that it is wireless but I mostly have it in the pedal tray.
