PRODUCT INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

eng

1. Power up and deploy the trolling motor. Adjust the motor height so that the

motor is clear of any obstructions while turning.

IMPORTANT: Stay a safe distance away from the propeller—the trolling motor is in

an operational mode.

!

WARNING

Rotating propellers can cause serious injury or death. Never start or operate the

motor out of water.

2. Use the left turn and right turn buttons to steer the unit so that it is facing

straight ahead, parallel with the keel of the boat, with the nose cone of the lower

unit facing forward and the propeller facing aft.

3. Once the lower unit is positioned as close to parallel with the keel as possible,

press and hold the manual mode button, then press and release the 1, 1, then
2

buttons in sequence. The trolling motor will emit an audible tune, flash the

status indicator light, and then return to manual mode, completing the mounting

angle calibration.

COMPASS CALIBRATION

IMPORTANT: This calibration is completed at the factory. It should only be repeated

if the Pinpoint GPS system is not responding properly. This calibration must be done

with the boat in the water, using the primary propulsion engine.
