TROLLING MOTOR INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
When heading lock—compass mode is selected, the trolling motor will drive
the boat along the trolling motor's compass heading. The boat will drift with the
wind, tide, and current, but the trolling motor will maintain a constant compass
heading. The operator can adjust the speed and the heading by using the
handheld remote or foot pedal.

Both heading lock modes offer advantages to the angler. You can tailor the bait
presentation depending on the species of fish, type of bait, underwater terrain,
structures, water depth, or environmental conditions. MotorGuide recommends
that you experiment with each heading lock mode in different conditions to
learn what works best for you.
The operator can toggle between either heading lock modes. Refer to the
following procedures for operating instructions and how to toggle between each
mode.
