CRUISE CONTROL H ow CRU I SE CON TROL Wo rks i-Pilot Link’s Cruise Control automatically sets the prop speed to maintain constant GPS speed. Because this controls only the prop speed, Cruise Control can be used in conjunction AutoPilot and iTrack Record as well as with navigating iTracks, LakeMaster contour lines, routes and Waypoints. Cruise Control is interfaced only through the remote. Caution: When Cruise Control is engaged, the prop will automatically be enabled if it is not already enabled.

Fr e qu e nt ly A s k e d Q u es ti o n s Q. Does i-Pilot Link record the speed I am traveling when recording a iTrack? A. No. i-Pilot Link only records its location during track record. It is up to the user to set the desired speed manually or with Cruise Control. Q. Why doesn’t my GPS Signal Strength icon always show all four bars? A.
Q. Does i-Pilot Link help to keep the coil cord from wrapping around the motor shaft? A. Yes and no. When in Spot-Lock, i-Pilot Link keeps track of how far it has rotated in either direction. If a new correction will cause the coil cord to wrap, it will rotate in the opposite direction in order to prevent the wrapping. In all other modes, it is up to the user to monitor the coil cord and to rotate the motor accordingly to avoid wrapping. Q. Does my i-Pilot remote work with i-Pilot Link? A. No Q.
T rou bl e s h ooti n g General Troubleshooting Problem: The motor is making erratic steering corrections while in AutoPilot, Spot-Lock or Track to Start/End. Solution: Be sure to keep all ferrous metallic objects away from the i-Pilot Link controller as they will have an impact on the built-in compass. Such objects include: anchors, metal framework, etc. Problem: When a key on the remote is pressed the motor doesn’t always respond. Solutions: Check the status of the battery charge icon on the remote.
Spot-Lock Problem: The boat doesn’t seem to keep close enough to the recorded Spot-Lock location. Solution: Verify the trolling motor batteries are sufficiently charged Solution: Check for weeds on the prop. Solution: In more extreme wind and current conditions, the boat will tend to stabilize a little ways down wind from the intended location. Relock the location the same distance upwind and expect that the boat will drift some in the downwind direction.
