[QUOTE="Ray Clark, post: 496231, member: 31103"] I think the limiting factor on the Minn Kota Edge is the cable control for the foot pedal. There's no electronically controlled motor and throttle interface that the ProNav can use to manipulate motor direction and thrust. There is a motor compatibility page under the support tab on the ProNav site. Unfortunately for your Edge, I don't think you're going to be able to retrofit a spot-lock capability because of the mechanical nature of the control system. All of the systems that I saw with spot lock type capability, factory built OEM or the ProNav aftermarket add on, had more sophisticated electronic system controls that could be manipulated by the inputs from the spot lock and navigation software.
