Frequently Asked Questions
What does the "Jog" feature actually do?
When you are anchored in Spot-Lock, pressing the Jog buttons on your remote will automatically move your boat exactly five feet forward, backward, left, or right, and then instantly re-engage Spot-Lock. This requires the heading sensor so the motor knows which physical direction the hull of the boat is pointing.
Where is the best place on my boat to mount this sensor?
It must be mounted completely flat with a clear, unobstructed line of sight to the sky. Crucially, because it is a magnetic compass, it must be mounted at least 24 inches away from any magnetic interference. This includes ferrous metals, trolling motor stow/deploy mechanisms, large wiring harnesses, and marine radios.
Do I need to pair this sensor to my motor every time I go fishing?
No. Once you perform the initial Bluetooth pairing process to sync the heading sensor to your specific trolling motor control head, it will automatically connect every time you power the system on.
