    Please don't stop carrying an anchor whether or not you get spot lock capabilities. You never know when you could lose power to components, or something stops working for whatever reason. Also 25' of anchor line is not nearly enough, unless you don't go in water over about 6'. Anchors aren't designed to be used vertically. Please do a little research on anchoring properly, before you get some inexperienced boater in a dangerous situation. And make sure the anchor line is strong enough to handle waves and wind much stronger than you plan on encountering, and that the anchor is of adequate size to hold your boat, and don't forget your PFF, and other safety equipment. Safety first, THEN fun, otherwise, it's... NO FUN!
