Pinpoint Trolling Motors ????

Anyone ever own one of these ? I love to spider rig and sidepull. This seems like this would be the IDEAL motor for either of these applications.

I have looked at these for a l-o-n-g time. I have never bought one being put off by the high price. I see where Motorguide has bought them out too.

So are they worth the bucks or no ? That creek and depth auto-tracking always got me to salvitating over buying one.

The good, they are great to fish with they track channels have a lot of power great battery conservation and best of all have 5 transducer views with a finder. The bad, they quit working and your screwed. The ugly is its almost always $350 or more plus shipping to fix. I bought the stand alone finder hooked it to my motor and could split the screen and read back and front, front and side, left or right. I loved it I just got tired of it quiting (usually prefishing a tournament). I still have mine but its not working I was going to repair it but now im going to buy a new si humminbird instead. If I was rich id have 2 and be happy. I noticed that there are several on ebay pretty cheap right now. I used mine for 5 years and repaired it 2 times. I liked it so much I still might fix it.

DON'T DO IT!!! I don't have time to go in to it now but have had 2 of them. When they work they are great but they don't stay working. And there are only 3 places in the country that work on them.

had one when they work they are nice but down time is bad and quality has gone down hill with motor guide, much prefer minnkota auto pilot for crappie fishing.

Thanks guys . Thats exactly what I wanted to know. You would think someone could build a RELIABLE one of these and at an reasonable price. Thanks for your honesty it will prevent me from throwing money away on an useless item.
