Thanks, Jim. The AutoPilot feature was tried and used just about all day. It's really cool watching the motor course-correct on it's own. The button with the 'N' is the AutoPilot on/off button. Just be making progress in the direction you want to maintain, then engage AP. When pointed into the wind, after engaging AP, I found I could decrease the speed until I virtually sat still. The other button (the rabbit) toggles between full speed and your previous speed. The best thing about all of this is that I just turned the most annoying thing about my fishing trips (previously being tied to the foot control) into a pleasure. While researching TMs, I searched this forum and found the good Capt. Clay once said he considered AP the most important feature.

Charles, it's totally 2 different world now isn't it.? I'm glad you got your trolling motor installed, It was a pain in the behind using the foot motor especially when fishing by yourself with some wind, I use to not go fishing when the wind was over 7mph cause of the foot motor now it's whatever with the wireless trolling motor. I too was at the C-Bay yesterday boated 4 nice strips 8-14 lbs.. started at 6a left at 11a I've notice that if you fish shallower depths the fish are smaller compared to those fished out of deeper depths

Great day of fun with her! Jimpal the extra buttons on a terrova are to go into auto pilot from the remote and to go into high speed from the remote I believe. I just got the powerdrive and put the co-pilot on it, as said, I will never be without it. I hope you are saving those pictures to drag out later!
