New - old PinPoint 3700

[Whoaru99]

reading some past posts - post facto, I just bought a brand new PinPoint 3700 60lb/60" shaft for a tick over $400 with heavy negotiation. Bought from a reputable retailer with "satisfaction guaranteed, 1 year warranty".

It seemed like a deal at the time, but after reading some posts I'm not sure. Perhaps I'm just looking for a bit of reassurance that I didn't waste $400. Will likely be installing this weekend.

How are you getting along with your Pinpoint?

I've been looking for one (3700 or 2700) but having a hard time locating them. Where did you get yours?

I have the same unit. Bought it from Cabelas 2 years ago for substantially more $. It's a great unit. Be sure your go through the calibration - straight ahead routine and don't expect it to work on very gradual slopes. The motor is very efficient and the bracket/shaft are TOUGH.

You can hardly go wrong for $400. Those went for over $1500.

That being said, I've had a lot of problems with my 2700. Nice trolling motor when working, but has not been reliable.

fishnAddict,

What kinds of problems are you having with your 2700?
