TROLLING MOTOR INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
Heading Lock—Course Mode Operation
IMPORTANT: If the trolling motor loses the GPS signal while in a heading lock
mode, the trolling motor will emit an error tone, automatically return to manual
mode, and continue running at the selected speed.
If Cruise control was operating while in a heading lock mode and the GPS
signal is lost, the trolling motor will emit an error tone, automatically return to
manual mode, and the trolling motor will stop.
To operate the trolling motor in heading lock—course mode:
1. Steer the trolling motor so it is pointing in the desired direction of travel.
2. Press the heading lock button on the handheld remote or foot pedal.
The trolling motor will drive the boat along the chosen heading, and will
automatically steer to compensate for wind, current, or tides to maintain course.
The trolling motor will emit an ascending chirp to indicate its status in heading
lock—course mode, and the GPS status indicator light will blink slowly.
The trolling motor will drive the bow of the boat along this course, while the
boat itself may be askew to the direction of travel due to current, tide, or wind
conditions. In heading lock—course mode, the trolling motor will automatically
steer to maintain course, and motor speed is user‑selectable. The operator can
use the left turn and right turn buttons or use the heel‑toe operation of the foot
pedal to navigate around obstacles. In extreme current or wind conditions, it
may be necessary to increase the motor speed to maintain the desired
heading.
To exit the heading lock mode from the foot pedal, press the heading lock
button. To exit the heading lock mode from the remote press the heading lock
or manual mode buttons on the remote. The trolling motor will emit a
descending chirp and the GPS status indicator light will stop blinking.
Adjusting Motor Speed
If a heading lock mode is selected from manual mode, the trolling motor will run
at the last selected speed. The motor speed can be adjusted by pressing the
increase speed (+) button or decrease speed (–) button on the remote or by
rotating the speed knob on the foot pedal counterclockwise to increase the
speed or clockwise to decrease the speed. The trolling motor will emit two
beeps when the user tries to exceed the available motor speed limits.
Cruise control can be used while in either heading lock mode. Refer to Using
Cruise Control.
Adjusting the Heading
While in a heading lock mode, the heading can be adjusted by pressing the left
turn or right turn buttons on the handheld remote or by holding the momentary
button down on the foot pedal while steering the foot pedal toe down on the
foot pedal toe down to steer right or heel down to steer left. The trolling motor
will resume heading lock—course mode navigation based on the new trolling
motor heading.
