| I have 2 seasons on my Pin Point. The first weekend on the water it would had a mind of it's own. It would start going in circles and back and forth on it's own. I learned later that it wasn't uncommon. Of course I called one of the crtified service centers (there are only 3 in the country) and they talked me into giving it a chance to "settle in". The next week it only did it once and hasn't done it since (knock on wood). Then it started losing contact with the bottom and wouldn't read depth. At first it was for 10 - 15 seconds at a time, but by the end of the season it wouldn't read depth at all. I know I should have sent it in right away, but I was afraid of not having a trolling motor for a month or two. I sent it in at the end of the season. They had it for 2 months and fixed with no questions asked. I now have a full season on it without any problems (again, "knock on wood"). Was it worth the extra money? I'm not sure yet. The only time I use the tracking is in the wind when it will hold the structure for you. If the wind is gusting the depth adjustments can be quik enough to throw you off balance (heart stopping at times). It is nice for mapping structure on a calm day because it follows the exact depth that you tell it to. Knowing what I know now, I probably wouldn't buy another one. Nothing against MOTOR GUIDE, I just don't think the extra features are worth that much extra cash.
Just my experience. Hope it helps. | |
