I recently upgraded my trolling motor to a MinnKotta Ulterra and I was told that the first time I use the motor I need to do something to sync up the GPS to the motor or something like that, it involves driving around in a circle the first time the motor is used. I was told I could find how to do this in the owner’s manual. Well I am having no luck finding this and MinnKotta and customer service is not open on the weekend and I would like to get out on the water on Sunday. Does anyone know how to do this or what page of the owner’s manual I can find these instructions on?

SP my Terrova came with a small start up pamplet to get the motor and gps signal synced. Mine is in my boat still in storage so I can’t help right now.

March 17, 2018 at 11:43 am #1760336OK that sounds good as I did not get link because most of my fishing is on the river and yes I was looking at the manual that you download and was still not able to find the answer.
saddletrampPosts: 159March 17, 2018 at 12:13 pm #1760341Steve, the manual that tells about the circle thing is for the heading sensor.
saddletrampPosts: 159March 17, 2018 at 12:18 pm #1760343If you didn’t get the link, you’d have to buy the heading sensor separately. It’s an electronic compass, looks like a GPS puck.
March 17, 2018 at 12:49 pm #1760347Mine came with the heading sensor, so that is what I have to do the circle thing for correct?

Okay I found it in this link “Heading Sensor Calibration for i-Pilot” thanks for all the help guys!
