Calibrating the Trolling Motor
You must calibrate the compass in the trolling motor before you can use the autopilot features. For the best
results, you should calibrate the motor on a day with little or no wind on calm water. You can repeat the
calibration process if the autopilot features are not performing as expected.
1 Drive the boat to an open area of calm water and stop moving.
The boat must be stationary to begin the calibration process.
2 Make sure the trolling motor is deployed (Deploying the Motor from the Stowed Position, page2).
3 On the remote control, select > Settings > Trolling Motor > Calibrate > Compass.
A message appears on the display while the trolling motor prepares the calibration process, and you should
wait until instructed to begin.
4 Using a foot pedal, remote control, or outboard motor to steer, follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate
the compass.
Setting the Bow Offset
Based on the installation angle, the trolling motor may not align with the center line of your boat. For the best
results, you should set the bow offset.
1 Using the remote control, adjust the angle of the trolling motor so it aligns with the center line of your
boat , pointing straight forward.
2 On the remote control, select > Settings > Trolling Motor > Calibrate > Bow Offset.
3 Press or to adjust the bow offset.
4 Press to set the bow offset.
5 Repeat this procedure if necessary.
