The more the I see the more I like but damn that trolling motor is going to get heavy with a 360 and this hanging off of it. Also about 10K in electronics hanging off the front of a boat now lol.

I just contacted my salesman and told him I need this on my new rig.
He said they have 5 on order and he will try and get my name on one.
Fingers crossed.

Good luck EPG! Hopefully you get one. I’d like to see something like this in action!

If you get it let me know, I would like to see this thing in action.
For those who can afford it, enjoy. As a friend says, ‘I’m not that mad at the fish.”
Definitely another technical advantage over the fish.
Hopefully all these fancy electronics aren’t a detriment to our fisheries in the long term.
I just didn’t have the patience to get to the point of that video. Might have been the accent.

It was…
Not as bad as I thought it would be.

The MEGA Live TargetLock Adapter Kit that includes TargetLock steering assembly, wireless foot pedal, heading sensor, ethernet cable, power cable, mounting bracket and hardware (no MEGA Live transducer) sells for $1,499.99.

lol. that boat has more $$$ hanging off the front end of it than my old boat, trailer, and truck cost combined.
More technology to give you fits.
Tech needs to slow down, lol. I’m still learning how to read SI and just got i-Pilot with spotlock this year. I’ll be checking this new stuff out in 2030.
I wonder if we’ll reach a point where the tech grows faster than batteries realistically can? Maybe they can install an AI that says “you’re welcome” when you catch the 30”er.
Very impressive tech and the guys with the coin should love it. More power to em, can’t wait to see some better videos.
Hopefully all these fancy electronics aren’t a detriment to our fisheries in the long term.
You know though, is it really that bad? Look how many people have wheel house’s now and just sit on the crappie/walleye holes all winter long taking limits out over and over vs something like this.

Bingo. Or – for the fisherman who loves tech more than fishing.

Totally agree with you. I’d put wheelhouses in the same category of “technological advancements” that are potentially going to be a detriment to our fisheries in the long term.
I just found out after 3 years that my Terrova has bluetooth! I thought I would use my mega DI at the bow more but I prefer fishing in the back of my boat more.
If you cast at fish a lot, it’s pretty sweet! At this point in my life, I go fishing to relax first, catch second. No clocks, no schedules, no stress. I imagine you need another $2k in batteries to run all this tech. Pretty neat I guess if that’s your thing?
There has been a few guys on different forums that took an old trolling motor with spot lock pulled the motor off and used it with Livescope, Mega Live etc. Ended up much cheaper then what Hbird is asking.
This tech has been going on for a few years now, well at least when Garmin Livescope came out. Livescanner, Rite Hite, and DIY have already made this tech. Humminbird just trying to catch up
Make this and future tech affordable and available to the masses then watch the fish disappear. I think it eventually needs to be regulated. Maybe not keep fish when using high tech? They certainly have many limitations when hunting to avoid overharvest. Maybe we’ll see some of the same for fishing?
For the boat you are buying, why not just go with the terrova ?
Why are you going cable drive ?

Ultrex is the only model that Target Lock is compatible with.
BTW – you sound like Sheldon. LOL
That’s a deal breaker
Not yet. I’m am expecting a 60″ compatible prototype for testing soon.

Sheldon is a smart man. I thought you just said target lock was not compatible with it.
I was just curious why your going ultrex over anything else. Only curious. I don’t run anything minnkota any ways lol curiosities were killing this cat. I don’t know what any of its compatible with. None of it peaks my interest.
I just with they could get the image to be on par with Garmin. Panoptix is leaps and bounds ahead of MEGA live IMO.
Taking back my Target Lock today.
I’ll give it a year for HB to iron out the wrinkles.

Always seems like rush, rush to be 1st to market.
Update after update to get the bugs out. Companies should combine with Raid. 
Kinda what set Marcum on their death spiral.
Long before target lock and whatnot came out, I would have the FW snorkel around structure and she would release a breath of air that would tell me where the fish were.
I would then cast just ahead of where I saw the bubbles come up and usually do pretty good at catching fish until one day a bunch of bubbles came up and I casted to the spot and hit her in the back of the head with the jig I was using.
Seems that bunch of bubbles was just a ways back of where they should of come up normally.
