Can you recalibrate these after a battery swap? Seems like mine doesn't hold its spot well when in anchor mode. I switched out to a lithium battery now and the boat wants to drift off my original spot lock.
I’m replacing an old 12v MG w/12v Minn kota w/ spot lock w/ remote. Can I use the existing wiring and what else may I need to install properly. Thank you
It’s the same hookup. I just always make sure it’s the heaviest wire you can use for better amps to the motor. So most definitely you can use the same wire
Love your Channel. I just purchased the Minn Kota Power Drive blue tooth enabled from Bass Pro. My first trip out today on the water and the foot pedal won’t allow me to steer the trolling motor, and when I press the power button to move , the motor shuts off after about 15 seconds Help if you can please. Thank you in advance. Kyle
I have a power drive that I install spot lock and I pilot on, it's a 12 volt 50 pounds thrust. I wonder if I ran this on full for about 8 hrs what size battery would I need ? I'm thinking about going to lithium and wonder is a 12v 50 AH enough ? Thanks
I would absolutely believe so. Take a look at the ionic batteries. They have an app to monitor the battery. Go to my website and scroll down it has lots of info on the batteries. Www.thegarminguru.com
Can this be mounted on a kayak? Sportsman 120 PDL.
I would think so. It would be nice for a kayak
Thank you for sharing! 🐟🎣

Yes it’s pretty easy to calibrate. You use the remote to calibrate.
@@The_Garmin_Guru I didn't see that setting for calibrate on my powerdrive.
@@1davejames1 I’m sorry bud I was thinking of the ultrex. The power drive in this video doesn’t have spotlock

What size bolt do you use to mount it onto the deck?
I used the supplied bolts bud. Don’t know the exact size

It wasn’t meant to be an in depth install
