Hello friends, just wanted to share my experience in hopes it may help someone else.

I bought a 55 lb MK Powerdrive for my 1436 jon. Overkill, perhaps but it was the cheapest trolling motor with spot lock. Spot lock is why I purchased.

First few trips out I was very disappointed in the performance. It was windy sure, but over corrected constantly and violently! Almost knocked me out of the boat lol.

After a couple weeks of wondering what Id wasted my money on, all I could think was maybe my boat was simply too light for the gps sensor to keep up.

BINGO! Apparently there is a boat scale feature in the remote where you can go up to +\- 2. Set it to -2 and am now satisfied with the performance. Seems to hold within 5-10 ft in 20 mph wind. About spot on in calm waters. I am now satisfied. Cant wait for them to go deep again!

Tight Lines,
SA
