Great video. Minnkota has same thing but call it boat scale and has settings of plus 3 to minus 3 and zero for total of 7 settings. Garmin has 10 so some advantage there. I like to run mine as low as possible to keep noise down when one poling.
Good to know. In a calm situation it was literally wiggling the back end of my 1860 grizzly. Good to go once i dialed it down to 1 and honestly that may be all I need for my boat. Can always bump it up to 3 in over 15 mph winds.
Another great video! Quick question, when we put the trolling motor in "achor" lock, will it keep the entire boat in the exact spot? Or will it just keep the trolling motor in one spot while the back of the boat still move around and rotate?
Here is the main problem with that. I had a light boat, a 13 footer. Even at anchor gain of 1 the trolling motor was way too aggressive. I called and called multiple times and get lessor settings for guys with small boats but did Garmin listen, no. Absolute fail for their engineering department!
A 24/36 volt trolling motor for a boat of that length is definitely overkill. I don’t know how they could give you lesser power in this particular trolling motor. As far as develop a smaller one maybe they could do that. So I don’t know how this is a fail.
This tip is extremely helpful. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed
awesome . Thanks for showing us this.
Thanks for watching bud
Great content with real differences that are visual in the settings change
Yes sir and thank you for watching
That really helps and people need to read the manual in these new high tech products.
You are correct but I like the visualization

Yes 100 percent it definitely shows how changing the settings really makes it work correctly.

Agreed. Same here brother.
Thanks man!
No problem bud

It will eventually turn into the wind and the back of the boat will swing downwind.

What adapter did you get to go from your force sonar to your 1222 my 1222 doesn’t have a 12 pin plug
Not sure what you’re asking bud cause my trolling motor transducer isn’t hooked to my 1222
Oh ok I wonder if they make a adapter so I can use it with my 1222
@@nickhenley5612 the 1222 is a non sonar unit. You’ll need a xsv unit to display sonar
Do you think this trolling motor is too much for a 16ft lowe aluminum bass boat?
No and if you get a bigger boat you can put it on it
@@The_Garmin_Guru thanks a lot man
What is the unit on top of the trolling motor?
Live foot
My remote doesn’t have anchor gain as a option
It’s in there
Mine is set on 3 and mine looks like your 10
