Motor guide xi5 vs min Kotta I pilot

[cajun bill]

Just got back from a few days of fishing with my MK Ipilot and noticed something that I had noticed before, but I don't remember it being that bad. Yesterday, I was trying to fish a spot along a marsh bank and when I got the bow of the boat positioned into the wind where I wanted it, I hit the anchor button. While the wind was blowing pretty well, it should not have been unmanageable for the MK to hold me in position. Sooooo, what I observed was that after the boat would move off spot about 10-20 feet, the motor would bring me back, but it would take about 30-60 seconds to do so. It seemed that the motor would wait too long to kick in and would have to overcome the momentum of the boat moving with the wind before it could increase in rpm enough to make progress against the wind and get me back to where I started. Aggravating for sure.

I really want to get to the Ulterra for the stow/deploy and trim functions, but I wonder if MK has improved it's spot lock function that owners of the MG and Rhodan rave about? Anyone know?
