Configuring Bow Lock

If your model is mounted on the stern of the vessel, such as a Force® Current trolling motor, the Anchor Mode feature can use either the installed location or the bow as the anchor point. You can configure the specifications of your vessel to help improve the accuracy of the point used when anchoring with the bow instead of the stern.

  1. From the trolling motor bar, select Menu symbol > Anchor Mode.
  2. If necessary, select Bow Lock to use the bow instead of the stern as the anchor point.
  3. From the trolling motor bar, select Menu symbol > Vessel Length.
  4. Enter the length of the vessel from the bow to the stern, and select Back.

Bow lock appears on the trolling motor bar. When selected, this engages Bow Lock instead of Anchor Lock.
