[QUOTE="RustyTackleBox, post: 155932, member: 282"] for what it's worth, I agree with most of the previous comments, especially the "older" spot lock on the minnkota, in a light breeze it works great if you point the nose into the wind, in a stiff wind get a real anchor, bigger and more power is better, for a 16' boat I would think the 24v terrova 80lb would be about perfect and you should be able to troll all day with that and at full throttle you might hit 3-3.5 mph, also the link is worth the upgrade if you have a compatable humminbird graph... imo if you are running anything other than a humminbird graph get a xi5 from motorguide, it'll do all the same stuff as the minnkota, cost a little less, and the spot lock is 100x better, dual gps in the head which is what the new minnkotas have.
