ANCHOR MODE
To place the motor in Anchor Mode, press the button with the “A” symbol
on the wireless fob. The motor will instantly lock in the anchor coordinates
and begin maintaining position.
The motor will emit 1 “beep” to indicate
that it has entered Anchor Mode.
The motor will emit a “beep” and
two “growls” then exit this mode if
there is no GPS fix.
The Anchor Mode automatically controls the
steering and thruster speed to maintain the
position of the boat’s bow, acting as a “Virtual
Anchor”. It is recommended that the boat be
slowed or stopped prior to anchoring to minimize
any overshoot.
ADJUSTING THE ANCHOR LOCATION (JOGGING)
Pressing any of the directional controls on the wireless fob
(Up, Down, Left, or Right) moves the “Anchor Location” in
precise 5-foot (1.52M) increments relative to the boat’s heading.
For example, pressing the Right-Arrow once moves the
“Anchor Location” 5-feet (1.52M) to the right of the boat’s bow.
The motor will emit 1 “beep” for each
increment the Anchor location is moved.
STORING (OR OVERWRITING) AN ANCHOR SITE
From any mode, while holding down the “A” button,
press and hold a directional button for 5 seconds.
The buttons can then be released and your
boat will be anchored at this newly recorded site.
The motor will emit a 1 second “beep” to
indicate that the anchor site has been
successfully saved.
The embedded system computer will be operating the trolling
motor causing the bow of the boat to move as needed to maintain
its location in this mode. Unexpected movement of the boat may
tend to unbalance you. Be cautious until you have become familiar
with the system dynamics.
