NOTE:
After steering to a new direction, there is a
short delay before the direction is locked in to allow
the compass to stabilize. When broad speed changes
are made, the AutoPilot heading may change slightly.
This is normal.
When the AutoPilot is on and the trolling motor is pulled out of the water to the stow position, the steering motor will continue to
run. Turn off the AutoPilot switch to stop the steering motor. If the switch is left on, the steering motor will shut off automatically
after 10 seconds. The motor should not be stored in this condition for long periods as power is still being applied to all electronics.
Always turn the Autopilot switch off and disconnect your motor from the battery when storing your boat.
