I purchased a Lowrance HDS Live so a MG would now be my choice as the two communicate well.That being said....After I test out the MK TM, I'll decide if it's worth adding spot lock for ($500).....OR getting a more powerful MG TM.Since I troll at 2mph for 90% of my use (with 1-3 anglers aboard).....I'll need to decide if a 12V or 24V is the way to go.  I hate the added weight of two batteries, but everything is a trade off.  Even if I had a 12V, I would probably run 2 12V batts in parallel for the added troll time.  if I did that, then a 24V TM may the preferred option.  I'll post a new thread on 12V vs 24V once I test the new TM.Thanks for all of your input, as it will be very helpful even with the new heavier boat!</blockquote>
