Any spot lock gurus on here?

[Dutch]

I run a 36 volt Ulterra.  My batteries are new everything has been working well.  However yesterday fishing into a 22 mph wind I noticed that even though I was on spot lock the boat would not hold on the spot.  It would sometimes be a couple of boat lengths down wind from where it was set.  Boat scale = 0

I run the 24v, and mine drifts a bit as well in a swell(LOZ) or in wind gusts, but will always work back to the WP.  I have noticed it seems to be because it ramps slowly - I’m assuming in part to keep from tossing my fat butt out of the boat, so I am OK with that as long as I am not to near a dock or very shallow water.

I’ve heard some guys recalibrate it.  Mine will drift a little in river current but will dart back to WP quickly sometimes.   But I think it’s because my Jon boat is light and flat bottom.   I run 24 volt 80 pound Ultrex.  And love it!

I run a 12v Motorguide X3 on my Tracker 17.5.  I use the remote on my vest to control, works like a charm.  When drifting on TN River, lock it in and retye a lure on if I break off or need to play a fish.

I want to use the autopilot more, just don't fish it enough to play with it.

It’s the best thing for river fishing ever.
