[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 162606, member: 1523"] It might be staying power. My 55lb doesn't even phase the battery after two hours trolling so other than maintaining two batteries for a 70 I really don't notice. I fish mostly slack water but start out at the bottom of a chute and use the troller to hold over the bottom so I can fish the holes and chute discharges. The autopilot makes it really nice down below. I just aim it and forget about it. Have to walk to the back to help the kid and the troller keeps us on track. Only problem I've had with it is during slow running, the wind can screw with it by pushing the boat around. The AP will start searching back and forth trying to figure out why it's not in control. You can get the copilot and I pilot on eBay for decent prices. That's where I got my troller. Jamie [/QUOTE]
