[QUOTE="Allen, post: 155929, member: 389"] I am guessing a 6ft shaft on a 16 ft boat is not necessary, especially since I once had a 16 ft Smokercraft and wouldn't want to be out in waves that require a 6 ft shaft. The spotlock is good if the wind isn't howling. The older models struggled with it in high winds, mine did anyway. Otherwise, the Ipilot is pretty nifty on big water and trolling long shorelines. The 24V, while always better than a 12V, is probably not easy in your boat either as I'm guessing the trolling battery storage is for a single 12V battery. Not sure what the cost is for what you seek, but I liked the Ipilot enough to just recently buy another (upgrade) for my boat. [/QUOTE]
