Calibrating the Compass
Before you can calibrate the compass, the transducer must be
installed on the shaft far enough away from the trolling motor to
avoid magnetic interference, and deployed in the water.
Calibration must be of sufficient quality to enable the internal
compass.
NOTE:
To use the compass, you must mount the transducer on
the shaft. The compass does not work when you mount the
transducer on the motor.
You can begin turning your boat before calibrating, but you must
fully rotate your boat 1.5 times during calibration.

Maintenance
Cleaning the Transducer
Aquatic fouling accumulates quickly and can reduce your
device's performance.
1
Remove the fouling with a soft cloth and mild detergent.
2
If the fouling is severe, use a scouring pad or putty knife to
remove growth.
3
Wipe the device dry.
Anti-Fouling Paint
To prevent corrosion on metal hulls and to slow the growth of
organisms that can affect a vessel's performance and durability,
you should apply a water-based anti-fouling paint to the hull of
your vessel every six months.
NOTE:
Never apply ketone-based anti-fouling paint to your
vessel, because ketones attack many types of plastic and could
damage or destroy your transducer.
