Case II. The boat doesn’t seem to keep close enough to the recorded Spot-Lock
location.
Step 1.
Verify the trolling motor batteries are sufficiently charged.
Step 2.
Check for weeds wrapped around and under the prop.
Step 3.
In more extreme wind and current conditions, the boat will tend to stabilize a little downwind from the intended
location. Relock the location the same distance upwind and expect that the boat will drift some in the
downwind direction.
Step 4.
See Case I.
Case III. When in Advanced AutoPilot in strong winds, there is quite a bit of
back and forth movement in the boat.
Step 1.
While Advanced AutoPilot will keep your boat on a true heading, it may be at the expense of the boat having to
continuously move to get back on the correct course. In these extreme conditions you may be better off using
Legacy AutoPilot and correcting for the wind manually.
Step 2.
See Case I.
Case IV. Under AutoPilot mode, I have Advanced selected as the default mode.
However, when I engage AutoPilot, it goes into Legacy AutoPilot instead of
Advanced.
Step 1.
If the GPS signal strength indicator shows no bars or is flashing, then Link will automatically engage Legacy
AutoPilot regardless of the Mode selected. Wait for your GPS signal strength to reach at least one bar, then re-
engage AutoPilot.
Case V. i-Pilot won’t let me turn on certain features like Advanced AutoPilot,
Record, Track to Start/End, or Spot-Lock.
Step 1.
Verify that the GPS signal strength icon on the remote’s LCD shows at least one bar. If there are no bars, i-
Pilot will not allow these GPS-based features to be enabled.
remote version 1.0
remote version 1.5
remote version 1.6
This GPS icon should have 1-4 bars next to it displaying GPS signal strength.
If there are no bars present then all GPS features will be disabled.
A.
Ensure that the motor has a clear view of the sky so it can obtain GPS reception. (Motor cannot be
indoors or under a roof, bridge, or tree canopy.)
B.
Ensure the minimum voltage requirements at the motor are met.
C.
Replace the i-Pilot Controller.
