You don't have to have the Link (where the TM is hooked with the Humminbird) to revisit a saved track or a spot-lock point. That's all saved on the iPilot remote.

I am very close to pulling the trigger on an Ultrex...I think. The problem I have is I have to decide for sure which to buy. I am a Humminbird guy and do a good bit of bass fishing as well which leads me toward the Ultrex bit I have heard and read a lot of good things about the X5i as well and it is a heck of a lot cheaper! Not sure I would be happy with the stow and deploy on it and not having a foot pedal.

Looks like I need to budget for the gen 2. I have the gen one and "spot lock" should have been named wander around and bash into something. I also have horrible problems keeping the gen 1 remote working. I need to see what All Star or others will give for my old unit and just get the new one. When my remote is working I really like the unit I have now. If it would spot lock better I would love it. There is just sometimes when I really need to be on a spot and cannot tie up to anything. Check and see if Minn Kota is offering the new head that you can upgrade with. I heard that they were going to offer it then I heard they weren't. In the beginning I know someone that said they sold him one. If they were to offer it, that would make for an affordable upgrade if your unit is still good.

I also have horrible problems keeping the gen 1 remote working. Had same problem with my Gen1 remote. Would give it a good wack on my leg and it would start working again. Put one of those small rubber feet/pads on top of battery and problem went away. Heard some say they put a dime on top of battery to keep it pushed down.

The original battery for the gen1 is 2450N. The 'N' is important for the battery to 'seat' correctly. A 2450 without the 'N' has a different edge and does not 'seat' correctly. You can mod the battery receptacle as some have done with above comments, or bend the tab connectors just a bit. When I found 2450N I would buy 4-5. They are also online.
