Location: Lafayette, IN | In fairness to the previous post about performance in wind, I haven't had a piece of electronics in my boat (or any boat for that matter) that didn't have some limitations. All I know is I fished on Vermilion solo for a week and spotlock was a wonderful feature in even moderate winds. Any safe and savvy boater knows they need to assess wind and current risks and always have an escape plan to avoid rock piles, shorelines and other boaters in the event of equipment failure. I keep my anchor handy and make sure my motor runs well so I can have a couple of backups. Thankfully, I've never had to use either one. Just my 2 cents. |
