Hold heading

Hold heading mode aligns the motor initially with the boat’s current heading and then maintains that thrust 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.

Important

In Hold heading mode the thrust level is user selected. In extreme wind or current it is necessary for the user to select a speed setting with adequate thrust to remain on course.

Note

Speed/thrust and steering range and increments are determined by the Trolling motor and as such could be different or change.
