Navigating

Before you can use autopilot features, you must calibrate the trolling motor (Calibrating the Trolling Motor Compass).

The trolling motor uses GPS to steer the boat to a waypoint location or to follow a route or a track.

  1. On the remote control, select an option:
    NOTE: You can also use the trolling motor to follow autoguidance paths when navigation is started from a connected chartplotter. See your chartplotter owner's manual for more information.

    Navigating is shown on the remote control screen, and the trolling motor automatically steers the boat to the destination.

  2. Adjust the speed as needed.
TIP: While using this autopilot mode, you can also maintain your speed using cruise control (Maintaining Your Speed).
