Just what I needed., May 5, 2009
By Gotro71 from Gonzales, LA

"Very satisfied with the performance of this product. Just used it once, at this time, but in the worst conditions I would fish in. With a 20 mph wind, I was able to adjust the speed of the TM and hold positions. I really like the speed display. This TM is on a 17' Stratos center console. I have it connected to a 4 year old deep cycle battery. I ran it for about 6 hours total on that old battery with no recharge."

Failed on 2nd use, February 16, 2009
By Flamingofishing from Ft. Lauderdale, FL

"Used in brackish water of the everglades, on the second day the motor would turn on and off by itself (dangerous when motor is in stow position!), had disengage from battery. When I returned home the unit would not turn on at all."
