    Lonnie, at my age, I buy what improves my quality of life. Since my life evolves around water, it is a natural response to seek that what improves my pleasures of life.

    The above comment sounds good, even to me.

    I am disappointed that there isn't an upgrade path. The least they could do is offer a coupon $500.00 off or something to the loyal customer that bought the first spot lock.

    To me it seems to be the "norm" now days with Johnson Outdoors products. Just like with software issues. I'm gonna have a hard time justifying anything from them next time I'm ready to upgrade. I've spent a ton of money on SI fishfinders (1198 and 898) that I fought software issues/upgrades with. $1800 on a Terrova/w Spot Lock that litteraly JERKS my boat around the lake I don't think it has ever truly worked right.

    As a 40yr old dad with a family these are major purchases and I can't afford to just buy new. I would be happy with some sort of upgrade kit that I could swap out.

    These new units are new technology---not compatible with the old technology. There has been quite a gap between TM next gen units. I sold my old Terrova 112 and now am upgrading to the new Ultrex. I don't see how this should anger people, it been a long time since they have upgraded into a next Gen unit. Technology always moves forward.

    Maybe it is something they will offer later ..... Sure seems like they could set up a kit to change out the entire trolling motor head if they need to .... The motor is just a motor.

    If the first Terrova had worked as advertised, I could agree with you.

    I never had to many issues myself but, have heard the tales of others. The new one is supposed to be the best on the market---can't wait.

    I have an Ulterra that is a year old. MK told me no upgrade for this unit to the new GPS spotlock. They suggested I sell mine and buy a new model. This is pure B/S.
