SPOT-LOCK
HOW SPOT-LOCK WORKS
Spot-Lock uses a single point of reference that is recorded when the
Spot-Lock button is pressed. The reference point is a set of GPS
coordinates that are captured at the location of the motor at the
moment the button is pressed. This point is recorded and can be
saved into one of the Spot-Lock memory locations. Spot-Lock works
by recognizing the GPS coordinates and will automatically navigate
the boat to keep it at the Spot-Lock location. If i-Pilot Link sees the
motor is not positioned at the Spot-Lock location, it will control motor speed and direction in an attempt to keep the motor on the
Spot-Lock. For more specific directions on how to use Spot-Lock, please refer to either the
i-Pilot
or
i-Pilot Link
Manual.

NOTICE:
Spot-Lock is based on the location of the motor, not on the location or direction of the boat. Outside forces such as
wind and current will cause the boat to move. Spot-Lock will navigate to maintain the motor on the Spot-Lock location regardless
of the position of the boat.

WARNING
Watch for a turning propeller when working with Spot- Lock. The propeller will automatically turn on when Spot-Lock is engaged, even if
the engagement is accidental. A turning propeller can cause injury. The propeller will turn "on" for Spot-Lock and regardless of the Prop
Auto On setting used on the i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link navigational system.
NOTICE:
The Spot-Lock button on the Ulterra Foot
Pedal will only work if your Ulterra motor comes with
Spot-Lock already installed on your motor. If your motor
does not already have this feature this button will be
non-functioning.
