Calibrating the Compass
Before you can calibrate the compass, the transducer must be
installed on the shaft far enough away from the trolling motor to
avoid magnetic interference, and deployed in the water.
Calibration must be of sufficient quality to enable the internal
compass.
NOTE: To use the compass, you must mount the transducer on
the shaft. The compass does not work when you mount the
transducer on the motor.

NOTE: Compass calibration is available only for transducers
with an internal compass.
You can begin turning your boat before calibrating, but you must
fully rotate your boat 1.5 times during calibration.
