Calibrating the Compass
Before you can calibrate the compass, the transducer must be installed on the shaft far enough away from the trolling motor to avoid magnetic interference, and deployed in the water. Calibration must be of sufficient quality to enable the internal compass.
NOTE:
To use the compass, you must mount the transducer on the transom or the trolling motor shaft. The compass may not work when you mount the transducer on the motor.
NOTE:
For best results, you should use a heading sensor such as the
SteadyCast™ heading sensor. The heading sensor shows the direction the transducer is pointing relative to the boat.
NOTE:
Compass calibration is available only for transducers with an internal compass, such as the
PS21-TR transducer.
You can begin turning your boat before calibrating, but you must fully rotate your boat 1.5 times during calibration.
