iPilot - spot lock feature. Is it truly as good as it sounds

[speck-chaser]

I love mine too. Last month when we fished dularge, I used it both trips out offshore. Fished and hour the first time with spot lock on,never touched the remote till we were done catching. Second trip pretty much held our position again just moving occasionally, but ran it for about 3-4 hr. on anchor mode. Never touched an anchor rope last 3 outings. That self deploy does seem nice,but usually the more features you have, the more things to go wrong with it. My speed would be that it would deploy, then go out in the down mode,and I would have to unbolt the whole thing from the boat to come back in.
