Trolling Motor Remote

Pairing Your Watch and Trolling Motor

You can use your watch as a remote control for your paired Garmin® trolling motor. Once the devices are paired, you can control the trolling motor using the Trolling Motor app, the Boat activity, or the Fish activity. For more information about using a remote control, see your trolling motor owner's manual.

  4. On the trolling motor display panel, press Power off three times to enter pairing mode.

    Connection arrows on the trolling motor display panel illuminates blue as it searches for a connection.

  5. On the watch, press Upper-right button to enter pairing mode.
  6. Verify that the passkey shown on your trolling motor remote control matches your watch.
  7. On the watch, press Upper-right button to confirm the passkey.
