I bought this for my husband after he had complained about how bad he wanted it but didn't want the expense of having to convert his old Hummingbird system to Garmin. He has wanted it for about a year now, so I went ahead and got him everything he would need to go to a Garmin system. The Force trolling motor, Panoptics Live Scope and the Echomap 126sv. I gave it to him as an early Christmas present. He installed everything last Saturday and said the set up was EASY. He tested everything out last weekend and called me multiple times from the lake to tell he how unbelievable the system is. Very easy to use and learn. His old spot lock just wasn't doing the trick anymore. This new motor's spot lock kept his boat in a 2 ft circle of the shaft. The motor is very quiet and very fast. It is keeping his very heavy 22ft Skeeter moving at 4.5 miles per hour with limited battery usage. The frame and lift system is solid and so easy to use. He has heard of people complaining of the foot system, but he absolutely loves it too. I even got a text from his fishing partner telling me how amazing everything is. If you are a fisherman or a spouse of a fisherman and they are even contemplating making the leap, stop thinking and just do it already!!
