You will learn to accommodate spot locks uniqueness as you use it. I often fast forward the boat to get to a waypoint but slow down just before arriving and sometimes turn the prop off, pivot the TM in the opposite direction I am coasting to, start the prop and when completely stopped hit spot lock. The TM head will, of course, rotate back forward once it is settled. I find this technique very helpful allowing me to approach quickly, slow appropriately, and be on the waypoint (or brush) without undue turbulence from the TM prop, all without taking a lot of time to do it.
