Im looking to upgrade my trolling motor.I have a minn kota maxxum 70 thrust and I was looking to upgrade to the I pilot 80 terrova.just wondering if it is worth the 1400$ price tag. I have not had any problems with the maxxum other than when its turned up its hard to control.I am a river fisherman and wonder if the gps will keep its path in the anchoring mode? Any help would be appreciated

I have that very one you are considering. I love it and it works phenomenal in a river setting!

Go to this site to learn more about the Ipilot.
Jason explains all the features. Some with videos.
I really like mine.

The anchor and cruise control feature are unbelievable! You will not be sorry.

Does anchor function hold your boat in place well in say 15 mph winds? Stronger? Same with following a trail in high winds?

I have had mine for a year. I did have trouble with the I-pilot not working but minn-cota sent a new one within 4 days. with shipping to replace the old. I have also had trouble with the footpad with the two footpad buttons sticking down on the left side. At times I will have to go down and manualy pull the buttons up so continues stops.
I use the i pilot alot when I take the kid fishing so she can be in front. The anchor saves me alot when fishing alone and boating a fish in strong winds. I know it has done well up to 25 mph winds.
So I have had my problems but I still like the unit. The trouble I had made me buy the 2 year warr.
