Adjusting Boat Scale with the Wireless Remote
BOAT SCALE
Trolling motor performance can be impacted by factors including, but not limited to, wind, water conditions, boat specifications,
battery health, wiring, etc. Boat Scale provides a method of adjusting how the trolling motor will perform to account for these and other
variables. The Riptide Instinct QUEST comes from the factory with Boat Scale set to zero. Boat Scale can be adjusted up (+2) or down
(-2) to increase or decrease how the motor control software applies power while using a navigation mode like Spot-Lock.
An example showing the need to reduce Boat Scale would be while using Spot-Lock and the motor is over-correcting or making frequent
adjustments. In this case, try reducing Boat Scale -1 to reduce this behavior. If the behavior continues, reduce Boat Scale to -2. An
example showing the need to increase Boat Scale while using Spot-Lock would be the motor is drifting away from its target location
frequently or needs help to make corrections. Try increasing Boat Scale to +1 to help improve the trolling motor accuracy in this case. If
the behavior continues, increase Boat Scale to +2.
