Mostly, having i-Pilot allows you to concentrate on fishing. Pick a heading and speed and let the boat compensate for wind and current while you fish. Recording and playing back tracks is really useful, too, whether for trolling or to follow a shoreline or depth contour while you cast.
But it's worth the investment just for Spot-lock. Tap a button and the boat will hold position to within a few feet. I use while still fishing or casting a precise spot, to let the boat hold station while rigging up tackle, and while fighting fish. Pretty much the only time I use anchors is when still fishing with multiple lines, when I need to keep the boat from turning.
These motors can take a beating, and I'm especially impressed with the strength of their shafts. Installation is simple as long as you have a suitable level deck plate at the bow.
Deploying and stowing the motor takes a bit of effort, but once you're used to the process it's not a problem.
One drawback is that mounting a transducer for a sonar on the motor is complicated, since the whole shaft turns with the motor. If you search for videos about "PowerDrive transducer installation" you'll find some solutions using a tension spring to keep the cord close to the shaft while allowing enough freedom of movement for the head to rotate without excessive strain on the cord. It's workable, but not ideal.
