AAUUTTOOPPIILLOOTT™™ CCOONNTTRROOLLSS::
The MINN KOTA AutoPilot uses a magnetic
compass and a microprocessor chip to keep
the trolling motor pointed in the direction you
want to go. Each time the wind or water cur-
rent moves the boat off course, the AutoPilot
senses the change and steers itself back to
the original heading. The AutoPilot direction
is set every time a steering change is made.
To change direction, steer until the control
head points to the desired course. The
AutoPilot will pull the bow of the boat around
and correct automatically until the boat is
moving in the direction you chose.
The AutoPilot push button on the control head
turns the automatic steering on or off.

Enclosed with your
motor are four (4) rubber bumpers. If the foot
pedal is to be used primarily on non-carpeted
surfaces, peel off the backing and install the
bumpers on the circular indented standoffs on
the underside of the pedal.
CCoonnttrrooll CCoorrdd--
The foot pedal cord is flexible and
long enough to allow the pedal to be posi-
tioned almost anywhere on your boat.
