) and sets

the trolling motor bow offset (

Setting the Bow Offset, page 82

).

Anchor Gain: Sets the response of the trolling motor when in anchor lock mode. If you need the trolling motor

to be more responsive and move quicker, increase the value. If the motor is moving too much, decrease the
value.

Navigation Gain: Sets the response of the trolling motor when navigating. If you need the trolling motor to be

more responsive and move quicker, increase the value. If the motor is moving too much, decrease the value.

Heading Hold Mode: Sets the heading hold mode. The Vessel Align option attempts to keep the boat pointing

in the same direction regardless of drift. The Navigate To option attempts to navigate a straight line in the
requested direction.

Arrival Mode: Sets the behavior of the trolling motor when you reach the end of a route. With the Anchor Lock

setting, the trolling motor holds the position using the anchor lock feature when the boat reaches the end of
the route. With the Manual setting, the propeller turns off when the boat reaches the end of the route.

CAUTION

You are responsible for the safe operation of your boat. When using the Manual setting for the Arrival Mode
option, you must be ready to take control of the boat.

Auto Power On: Turns on the trolling motor when you apply power to the system.
Prop. Stow Side: Sets which side of the trolling motor the propellor rotates to when stowing the trolling motor.

This is helpful when you store other items near the stowed propellor.

chartplotter. The keys work with only one chartplotter at a time.

Restore Defaults: Resets the trolling motor settings to the factory default values.

Assigning a Shortcut to the Trolling Motor Remote Control Shortcut Keys

You can quickly open commonly used screens by assigning a shortcut key on the trolling motor remote control.
You can create a shortcut to screens, such as sonar screens and charts.
NOTE: If you have more than one chartplotter on the network, you can assign shortcut keys to one chartplotter
only.
1 Open a screen.
2 Hold a shortcut key.

TIP: The shortcut is also saved to the Frequently Used category with the shortcut key number.

Calibrating the Trolling Motor Compass

You must calibrate the compass in the trolling motor before you can use the autopilot features.
