    Does anyone do this? My old man is a healthy 70, mom is too. But with a big Skeeter, I wonder if he would fish more if it was easier to launch by himself.

    I would assume you should just be able to spot lock and hold a position (assuming no current). What kind of range do the remotes have?

    Personally, I think it looks like a horrible idea and eventually you will lose your boat. But it would be cool if things worked smoothly.

    i have done this on certain occasion. First that boat ramp can not be busy. Second no or very little wind. Third need to turn unit on at house so gps has time to acquire. Fourth go slow just enough to get boat off trailer than use spot lock to hold there. Tested the remote easily 300 foot range. but at that distance is hard to see which way unit is going.
