Spot-Locks - Humminbird i-PILOT LINK Operation Manual

S -L
POT OCKS
Spot-Lock uses a single point as a reference for the spot you want to stay on. Around the Spot-Lock location, i-Pilot Link uses an
arrival circle to determine prop speed and direction. If i-Pilot Link sees it is within the circle, it will adjust the motor speed to zero.
If i-Pilot Link sees it is outside of the circle, it will control motor speed in an attempt to get the boat back into the circle. If you
select Spot-Lock while navigating a route, BackTrack, iTrack, or contour, navigation will be paused on the Spot-Lock.
Spot-Lock is based on the location of the motor, not the location or direction of the boat. Outside forces such as wind and current
will cause the boat to move. Spot-Lock will navigate to maintain the motor on the Spot-Lock location regardless of the position of
the boat.
WARNING! Watch for a turning propeller and be prepared for boat movement when working with Spot-Locks. The propeller will
automatically turn on when a Spot-Lock is engaged, even if the engagement is accidental. A turning propeller can cause injury.
The propeller will turn on for Spot-Locks regardless of the Prop Auto On setting.
Storage: Spot-Locks are saved with an alphanumeric name that can be edited. You can save a combination of 2,750 Spot-Locks
and waypoints on your HELIX control head. A waypoint can be converted to a Spot-Lock by changing its icon to the Spot-Lock icon
(see Manage your i-Pilot Link Navigation Data).
