[QUOTE="Ray Clark, post: 507585, member: 31103"] I have a 55# thrust Powerdrive on my 14' Lund. Boat's gross weight on the water with two fishermen and gear is about 1000 pounds. I'm using a ProNav unit for spotlock and TM control. I like the setup. Using spotlock effectively is a learned skill. I find that it's best to set the spotlock when facing the bow into the wind/breeze when nearly stopped. Otherwise, I can get some "pinwheeling" as the unit attempts to bring the boat to a stop and then return to the place where the button was pushed. Cord wrap needs to be managed as well. However, the better I am at setting the spot lock as described above, the less cord wrap I seem to deal with. Spotlock also seems to work better when there's a breeze to work against. It's smoother and less prone to cord wrap. [/QUOTE]
