Trolling motor autopilot

If a MotorGuide Xi5 trolling motor with Pinpoint GPS is connected
to the NMEA 2000 network, then the SmartSteer (autopilot)
functionality is available on the ELITE-7Ti. It is not available for the
ELITE-5Ti.
To use trolling motor autopilot functionality, you need the
following:
• MotorGuide Xi5 trolling motor with Pinpoint GPS (available from
MotorGuide)
• MotorGuide Pinpoint GPS Gateway (available from MotorGuide)
• NMEA 2000 network
Connect the MotorGuide Pinpoint GPS Gateway to your NMEA
2000. For details about installing this equipment, refer to the
separate installation manuals that come with the equipment.
The Autopilot can automatically control the trolling motor to:
• Maintain a set heading
• Maintain the vessel's position
• Navigate to the cursor position, to a waypoint, or along a route
• Follow pre-defined turn patterns
• Control the speed of the trolling motor
Note:
Ú An autopilot is a useful navigational aid, but DOES
NOT replace a human navigator.
Xi5 trolling motor software
If at any time there is an update required for your Xi5 trolling motor,
instructions will be made available by MotorGuide, and posted on
