Already has ipilot. Debating the spend on a pro troll controller or not....
I am a BIG fan of an electronic anchor, it is a great tool for jigging lakers...
One of the best tools in my opinion. I am biased as my pb laker was landed jigging champlain while on spot lock.
I want it for my boat but would have to take it off for my salt excursions. sharps can vouch for how hard of a beating my 14ft sylvan takes. punching it thru 3 to 4ft swells. would break the trolling motor.
I often see braces put in to protect the shaft from excessive banging.
I think you will be fine. You add that to your boat and you are golden. My PB Largemouth and a ton of smallies would not be possible without it.
