36v just no place to put 3 batteries

I went on a few seahunt sites same model as me say they run the 72 no issue maybe in bad chop they get the prop out of the water sometimes .. and the. Lithium 24v 50ah run around a grand saw some 100ah for the same price Amazon

As for reliable seems MK and others all have their fan boys and haters we will see

I haven't bought a trolling motor yet but keep thinking of doing it for this spot lock feature. It's quite the game changer for all kinds of fishing but a little pricey. In searching for info, alot of the problems I see online is with the auto deploy. Heard it's best to keep manual deploy.

Yes I was looking at a Manual deployment model. Another issue I’ll have to move my nav lights to the rub rail or a removable set on a post
