Calibrating the Trolling Motor

You must calibrate the compass in the trolling motor before you can use the autopilot features. For the best results, you should calibrate the motor on a day with little or no wind on calm water. You can repeat the calibration process if the autopilot features are not performing as expected.

Drive the boat to an open area of calm water and stop moving.

The boat must be stationary to begin the calibration process.
Make sure the trolling motor is deployed (Deploying the Motor from the Stowed Position).
On the remote control, select > Settings > Trolling Motor > Calibrate > Compass.

A message appears on the display while the trolling motor prepares the calibration process, and you should wait until instructed to begin.
Using a foot pedal, remote control, or outboard motor to steer, follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate the compass.
