Minn Kota was supposedly improving the spotlock on the Terrova and Ulterra models for this year (2017).

Has anyone purchased one of these trolling motors yet? I'm interested in hearing how it compares to the motorguide xi-5 in terms of holding position with the spotlock.

Right now I have Humminbird Electronics paired with a Motorguide Xi5 solely because the spotlock was better than the previous versions of the Minn Kota trolling motors. I have not been disappointed by the performance of my Motorguide. However, I am considering an Ulterra for the power trim options, as well as the tighter integration with my electronics.

Any information on this would be very helpful.


Thanks!
