I can sit back at the console reading my sonar chart 1ft contours on the maps in my chartplotter and navigate the water effectively for clients or friends to fish. The only downside is the 3A battery in the remote. As long as I have spare batteries with me now, it's not really a problem and the life does last a good while. I do wish it was a rechargeable type remote, but I can deal with it for I do love the trolling motor.
