Spot lock jog
Jig Man:
I use spot lock a lot but had not used the jog function until this week.
I was fishing with a strong wind about 45° off my port side. I came to an area that gave up a couple of bites so turned the boat into the wind and set the spot lock so I could cover the area better.
After I was ready to move I decided to try the jog function. It moved the boat 5 feet then reset. I did this for about 1/2 mile. If wanted to move more all I had to do was hit the direction arrow twice. I was able to fish without doing anything to control the boat.
It also can go forward and backward. Greatest thing since sliced bread.
Nightmare:
Nice when you pay good money for something that actually functions the way you expect it to, huh?! (yes)
Curt:
@Jig Man That's really awesome! Can you refresh my memory as to which TM you have? Is it the Ultrex?
Jig Man:
No. I have the Ulterra. I bought it because it will stow and deploy by itself. I have ipilot link along with Humminbird Solix units.
JackJ:
Those are some sweet features. Wish I had one of those.
