Hold COG

Hold COG mode aligns the motor initially with the boat’s current heading and then maintains that heading regardless of the boat’s position. Actual boat heading and COG may differ to the motor’s fixed direction due to tide and wind conditions.

Note

Hold COG mode is currently only available on Power-Pole® trolling motors.
