When the trolling motor is powered up and deployed, it is immediately capable
of operating as a conventional trolling motor. The trolling motor will require
approximately 30 seconds to acquire a fixed GPS position. Having a clear view
of the sky overhead, with no large trees, power lines, bridges, or buildings to
interfere with the GPS signal, will improve the GPS accuracy and reduce the
amount of time required to obtain a fixed GPS position. Once the unit has
acquired a fixed GPS position, the GPS accuracy will continually improve for
several minutes. It is recommended to power up the trolling motor as soon as
possible before operation to allow the fixed GPS position to become as
accurate as possible.
Power up the trolling motor by connecting the battery cables to the trolling
motor batteries, or plugging the trolling motor into the trolling motor power plug
(if equipped). The trolling motor will emit audio signals to make the operator
aware of its status.
•
The trolling motor will emit one beep when it is powered up.
•
The trolling motor will emit a three‑beep tune once it has acquired a fixed
GPS position, and the GPS status indicator light will illuminate.
OPERATING IN MANUAL MODE
In manual mode, the trolling motor operates like a conventional trolling motor. It
allows the operator to manually control the direction of travel and thrust level of
the trolling motor, using the directional controls on the handheld remote or
wireless foot pedal. Refer to the following illustration and instructions to operate
the trolling motor in manual mode with the handheld remote.
Once the trolling motor is powered up, it is ready to operate in manual mode.
Manual mode is the default mode after power‑up, and also if the GPS signal is
lost while in a GPS operating mode. The trolling motor will emit one beep to
indicate its status in manual mode. To enter manual mode from another mode,
press the
