Spot lock jog

(1/2) > >>

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.
