The used boat my father in law just bought has a PinPoint 3700 trolling motor...anyone know anything about them???

It is a 2000...so I believe that is before the motorguide buy out...

I looked them up on the internet and there is precious little information other than complaints.

I found it in a 1999 BPS catalog.  It was the first autopilot style trolling motor.  It also had a built in transducer but would only work with their sonars.  Those TM's were running between $1300 - 1600 back then. That didn't include the sonars which were $300-600.  The sonars could be networked together so your buddy in the back could have the console sonar displaying what the front sonar was displaying!!

It looks like if you bought the whole system you'd easily drop $2000 - 2200 on a complete setup.

I guess that and the fact you're seeing so many complaints is the reason that company isn't in business any more.

Use it to sink a brush pile with.

I would be interested in purchasing the unit from you if you are considering a change
