Calibrating the Trolling Motor Compass

Before calibrating the trolling motor compass, you must move to an open area of calm water, with enough space to maneuver the kayak in a circle.

Calibrating the trolling motor compass in rough water and wind conditions may negatively affect autopilot performance.

Make sure the trolling motor is in the deployed position (Deploying the Motor).
On the remote control, select > Settings > Trolling Motor > Calibrate > Compass.
When prompted, follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate the compass.

NOTICE

While calibrating the compass, you should use the trolling motor to steer the kayak at low speed. Using a paddle to steer the kayak to calibrate the compass may cause excessive movement, leading to poor autopilot performance.

If the autopilot features do not perform as expected, you should repeat the calibration process.
