Power-Pole Anchor System

Do not engage the Power-Pole^® Anchor System while underway. Doing so could cause result in an accident causing property damage, serious personal injury, or death.

If a compatible Power-Pole anchor system is connected to the NMEA 2000^® network, you can use the chartplotter to control the Power-Pole anchor. The chartplotter automatically detects the Power-Pole anchor system's C-Monster^® gateway on the NMEA 2000 network.

Enabling the Power-Pole Anchor or CHARGE Overlay

You must enable an overlay on the chartplotter to control the Power-Pole anchor system or a CHARGE™ power management system on your vessel.

From the page to which you will add the overlay, select Options > Edit Overlays.

TIP: To quickly select the overlay, select Toolbars then Anchor or Charge.
Select where you want to add the overlay.
Select Power-Pole® Anchor or Power-Pole® Charge.

After you enable the Power-Pole overlay on the chartplotter, you must set the Power-Pole installation mode to match the Power-Pole anchor installation on the boat (Setting Up the Power-Pole Anchor).

Setting Up the Power-Pole Anchor

Before you can use the chartplotter to control the Power-Pole anchor, you must select the required installation mode.

The default initial installation mode setting is None. While the installation mode is set to None, the chartplotter control of the Power-Pole anchor(s) is inactive.

From the Power-Pole toolbar, select > Installation.
Select the installation mode that matches the anchor installation on the boat.
- To control a single port side Power-Pole anchor, select Port .
- To control a single starboard side Power-Pole anchor, select Starboard.
- To control dual Power-Pole anchors, select Dual.
Use the slider to set the desired speed for the anchor to deploy and retract.

Power-Pole Overlay

Before you can control the Power-Pole anchor with the chartplotter, you must enable the overlay (Enabling the Power-Pole Anchor or CHARGE Overlay) and set the Power-Pole installation mode (Setting Up the Power-Pole Anchor).

The layout of the overlay varies based on the installation mode. Refer to your Power-Pole documentation for more information.

Power-Pole Advanced Boat Control

When the chartplotter is connected to a compatible Garmin trolling motor and a compatible Power-Pole anchor system, you can enable advanced boat control functions that use both the Power-Pole anchors and the trolling motor.

NOTE: You must enable Anchor Lock on the trolling motor before you can enable advanced boat control.

From the Power-Pole overlay, select

to enable these advanced boat control functions.

NOTE: The first time you enable advanced boat control, you must perform a one-time process to set the max depth and drag sensitivity. These settings can be adjusted later from the menu on the Power-Pole overlay.

Smart Anchor Selection: The system determines when to use the Anchor Lock function on the trolling motor or the Power-Pole anchor system.
Drag Detection: If the Power-Pole shallow water anchors fail to hold the vessel's position, the anchors are stowed automatically, the trolling motor attempts to return the vessel to the original position, and it redeploys the anchors.
Anchor Jog: When using the trolling motor to move to a different anchor location, the system automatically stows the anchors if necessary until the jog procedure is complete. The system then determines whether to redeploy the anchors or use the trolling motor Anchor Lock function depending on the depth.
Trolling Motor Direction Control: When the Power-Pole anchors are deployed, you can rotate the angle of the trolling motor as needed. This is helpful when you are using LiveScope™ on the trolling motor and you want to view a different angle while anchored.
Auto-Stow: The system automatically stows Power-Pole anchors when you stow the trolling motor.
NOTE: If you want to continue using the Power-Pole anchors when stowing the trolling motor, you must disable advanced boat control from the Power-Pole overlay.

CHARGE Overlay

Before you can add the CHARGE overlay, you must install a CHARGE power management system on your vessel and connect it to a C-Monster control system. Both of these systems are Power-Pole products and not produced by Garmin. After installing this hardware, you must configure the CHARGE power management system and the C-Monster control system so the chartplotter can access and control the charge functions. See the owner's manual provided with your CHARGE power management system for more information.

After installing and configuring the CHARGE power management system, you can enable the CHARGE overlay to control the system using the chartplotter (Enabling the Power-Pole Anchor or CHARGE Overlay).

The layout of the overlay varies based on the size of the chartplotter model. Smaller models may show less text, but the functions are the same.
