Overriding the MOB Tag

If the trolling motor loses its connection to the MOB tag, but you have not left the kayak, you can override the MOB function to temporarily resume normal operation.

WARNING

You must make sure the area around the trolling motor is clear before resuming normal operation of the motor. Resuming normal operation while others are near the trolling motor could result in serious personal injury or death.

After the motor has lost its connection with the MOB tag, and the propeller has stopped, select an option:
  • On the trolling motor remote, select Menu icon > Settings > Trolling Motor > MOB Tag Override Mode.

  • Hold the MOB OVERRIDE button on the top of the trolling motor housing for five seconds.

The trolling motor emits a long beep when you turn MOB Tag Override Mode on or off. The trolling motor beeps periodically, and the MOB (man overboard) icon status LED flashes yellow when MOB Tag Override Mode is on.

If you recover the MOB tag and its connection to the trolling motor is restored, the trolling motor automatically turns off MOB Tag Override Mode. To resume normal operation, you must press the MOB button on the MOB tag, or dismiss the MOB message on the remote control or a connected chartplotter.
