Trolling motor speed control
In Heading lock mode, Nav. mode and in Turn pattern steering the autopilot system can
control the trolling motor speed.
The set target speed is displayed in the autopilot controller.
There are two ways to control the target speed of the trolling motor:
• Propeller rate, set as a percentage of power (A)
• Cruise control speed (B)
Switch between the speed options by selecting the speed icon.
The speed is increased/decreased in preset steps by selecting the plus and minus buttons.
The speed can also be set manually by selecting the speed field (C).
Recording and saving a track
A track can be saved as a route from the autopilot controller. If track recording is disabled, the
function can be enabled from the autopilot controller.
For more information, refer to "Waypoints, routes, and tracks" on page 40.

Anchor point setup
The trolling motor can store a number of anchor points, labelled with MTG prefix. Anchor

These MTG anchor points can be saved as a waypoint in the MFD system. The position of an
MTG anchor point can be redefined to be identical to an existing waypoint, or to the current
vessel position.
