I have had several issues with my MK. It's been back for service and warranty work and it's still not right. Spot lock will keep you within 100 feet maybe if you are lucky. It will then just shut off , drift away and then kick in again at max speed.The unit will just lose power intermittent for no reason and the remote loses signal while the prop is still turning. Very unsafe when fishing close to shore rocks , docks etc. Have to rush and physically unplug it from the power source . Sometimes it can go a whole day with no issues and the next day it's almost unusable.
Dealer said its just the way it is with these . My next trolling mototr will be a motor guide
.
Good luck
More I look into it might go 4hp gas motor
THanks.

Thanks. Starting to think a 4hp gas motor might be better route
