This is a great point.
I know that I check to ensure the boat is not already drifting fast when I hit spot lock. It’s pretty much subconscious now and rarely will I let the trolling motor do all the work. At the end of the day it’s just a dumb machine. It has no context and will 100% blow out the water column if it means achieving it’s single, menial task. I really only ask anything of it in deeper water, no shallower than 4-6ft, and am comfortable asking it to spot lock in 10-13ft+.
