Page 8: Installation
Installation Use the following instructions to connect your Humminbird ﬁsh ﬁnder with an Advanced GPS Navigation system. Before proceeding with this installation, the Humminbird ﬁsh ﬁnder and Minn Kota trolling motor should be installed. To download the installation guides, visit minnkota.johnsonoutdoors.com and humminbird.johnsonoutdoors.com.
Page 9: Connect The Advanced Gps Navigation System To The Humminbird Fish Finder
| Connect the Advanced GPS Navigation System to the Humminbird Fish Finder Use the following instructions to connect the Advanced GPS Navigation System to the installed Humminbird ﬁsh ﬁnder. If you purchased the Humminbird Ethernet Switch, install it using the instructions in the included installation guide.
Page 10: Confirm Trolling Motor Connection On The Humminbird Fish Finder
| Conﬁrm Trolling Motor Connection on the Humminbird Fish Finder After connecting the trolling motor to the Humminbird ﬁsh ﬁnder, it is important to conﬁrm the connection. All equipment should be connected and powered before you turn on the ﬁsh ﬁnder. NOTE: If the trolling motor is connected during navigation, a message will display on-screen and navigation will be canceled.
Page 11: Confirm Gps Reception
| Conﬁrm GPS Reception Use the instructions in this section to conﬁrm the Humminbird has GPS reception. GPS is required to enable the navigation features on the ﬁsh ﬁnder. APEX/SOLIX Models Check the System Status Bar 1. In the Home screen, review the top, right corner of the status bar, and conﬁrm the GPS receiver is detected and active. GPS Status Icon Icon Description Detected and Active: The GPS receiver is detected and a GPS ﬁx has been obtained.
Page 12 Review Satellites From the Home screen, select the GPS tool. Tap the icon, or press the ENTER key, to open. Depending on your network conﬁguration, select GPS (1) > Satellites or GPS (2) > Satellites. NOTE: You can manually change which GPS receiver is the selected source for GPS (1) or GPS (2). For more information about GPS and selecting GPS sources, see your Humminbird operations manual.

Opening the Motor Arrival Submenu Setting the Motor Arrival Mode Tap to Select Select Confirm | Install a Map Card Use a Humminbird map card to provide detailed maps, depth contours, etc. on the chart views. To use Follow the Contour or Follow the Shoreline, a compatible Humminbird map card must be installed and selected as the map source.
Page 19: Set The Water Level Offset
| Set the Water Level Oﬀset Before starting navigation, set the Water Level Oﬀset setting to change the water level read by the Humminbird ﬁsh ﬁnder. For example, if the lake is down 5 feet, set the Water Level Oﬀset setting to -5. The displayed numbers on the Contour Lines will adjust from the Water Level Oﬀset setting, and the water level oﬀset will be highlighted in brown to extend the land visually on the display.

Page 21: Complete Motor Setup And Calibration
| Complete Motor Setup and Calibration Adjust Boat Scale Trolling motor performance can be impacted by factors including, but not limited to, wind, water conditions, boat speciﬁcations, battery health, wiring, etc. Boat Scale provides a method of adjusting how the trolling motor will perform to account for these and other variables.
Page 22 Set the Stow Orientation Adjust Keel Mount Oﬀset Set the Heading Sensor Calibration This function is only performed on motors with an external Heading Sensor. The process of calibrating the Heading Sensor must occur while your boat is on the water. Heading Sensor Calibration should always be performed after the trolling motor and Heading Sensor have been mounted, but before the Heading Sensor Oﬀset is performed.
Page 23: Set Straight On Deploy
| Set Straight on Deploy* Minn Kota recommends setting the Keel Oﬀset when the position of the Lower Unit is parallel with the Keel. Save the Keel Oﬀset before exploring the Straight on Deploy feature. Straight on Deploy uses the position recorded in Keel Oﬀset to know where to position the Lower Unit to be parallel with the Keel.

Page 121: Autopilot
AutoPilot Two versions of AutoPilot are available: Locked Course AutoPilot and Locked Heading AutoPilot. There are distinct diﬀerences between the two AutoPilots and how they control your boat. See below for details. NOTE: See your Humminbird operations manual for AutoPilot setup instructions. Locked Course AutoPilot Locked Course AutoPilot not only uses compass heading but also GPS data to correct for cross winds, current and other external forces to keep the boat on the intended course.
Page 122: Locked Heading Autopilot
Locked Heading AutoPilot Locked Heading AutoPilot uses an internal compass to provide heading lock. When Locked Heading AutoPilot is on, it keeps the motor pointed in the same compass direction. If a manual steering correction is made, Locked Heading AutoPilot locks onto the new compass heading to which the boat was steered.
Page 123: How To Determine When To Use Locked Course And When To Use Locked Heading
See Propeller Controls for more details. CAUTION! Advanced GPS Navigation uses a magnetic compass to detect direction of travel. The compass can be adversely aﬀected by magnets or large, ferrous metal objects near (within 24” of) the trolling motor control head.
