Took me a couple of years to use this feature. Doh. Luv it on rivers or in wind where trying to reset spot lock results in boat drifting away in the second between pressing buttons. Works great to keep your casting angle intact when fishing smaller spots like current seams.
*Great little trolling motor **enjoyable.fishing** recommend had it hooked up to my 15 foot old town canoe and it pushed it pretty good with me and my son (220 pounds each).*
Minn Kota needs to do a tutorial on every button on the remote, how to toggle from one command to another, what they do and so forth.
AGREED!!!!!!!
I mean they come with a card showing what ever single button does and it’s pretty self explanatory how to toggle from one command to the other. The screen tells u
@@trumpking4874the screen doesn’t tell you shit
I have the terrova with touch screen remote. What sequence of buttons to do this?
New user question on the Ultrex.. What determines the actual (compass) direction of a jog? I understand that you can jog in any of four directions - forward, backward, left or right - but relative to (or derived from) what? There are 360 degrees of possible bearings off of any Spot Lock location and both my boat and the head unit are constantly adjusting due to gusts of wind, wakes, current fluctuations, etc. How do I know which way a jog will go at any particular time?
MinnRick,
The heading sensor that comes with the motor is a compass and that is what gives you the Jog Feature. Below is how you set a Jog.
a. To engage Spot-Lock Jog, first engage Spot-Lock. The Spot-Lock Jog icon will look like the Spot Lock icon, but will also have directional indicators.
b. Use the Speed Down , Speed Up , Steer Left, Steer Right , buttons to move the boat 5
feet in the desired direction from the original
Spot-Lock.
c. The boat will be moved backwards for Speed Down , forward for Speed Up , left for Steer Left , and right for Steer Right, when the corresponding button is pressed in relation to the direction of the boat. Once the boat has jogged to the new location, the new location will be saved into a temporary Spot-Lock Memory and the boat will relate additional jogging with the temporary
Spot-Lock location.
Best regards,
Brenda
Crappie catching at 3 pound fishing. Using spot lock on the new uktrex
Something has happened to my jog feature on my terrova I pilot. When I am in spot lock mode, any arrow I hit just disengages my lock and drifts away. Ive tried recallibrating didn’t help???? . Absolutely an awesome motor, love it when it works well
Daniel,
Is the light on the Heading Sensor lit? Have you checked the fuse in the Heading Sensor?
Thanks!
Minn Kota Motors it was a short and I didn’t pair it before calibrating. It’s working now. Thanks for responding
@@danielshannon1784 Hey Daniel, how did you go about doing that? I seem to be having the same issue. Thanks in advance!
Hello I just bought a ulterra but I am so confused about the diploy button cause the only button I see on owner manual is the autopilot. Is that the one?
Ying,
The Auto Pilot button is not the deploy button. You will see the word deploy on the bottom of the remote screen. Underneath the screen there is a button on the left and a button on the right that have a white dot on them. Those are your soft keys. To deploy the motor you will double click really fast the button with the white dot under the word deploy.
Thanks!
If i don't have the Jog/ Heading sensor installed, could i just use the Autopilot to shift me 5 feet instead and then hit the Spot Lock?
Hi Jimbeaux,
Yes, you are going to need to re-engage Spot-Lock when you get to the desired location.
Thank you
MK I have a question. Here's the scenario - the trolling motor is working overtime in a ripping tide 10 feet away from jagged jetty rocks with wind and waves to contend with and I can't figure out the point of reference of where the 5 feet direction is established. 5 feet in a direction (FRRL) each button press from what point of reference? 5 feet in a direction from the trolling motor which is rotating all over the place in a spot lock holding position? Or in respect to where the bow of the boat is at the time of button press? Or is it eh...5ish feet in a forwardish direction and 5 feet give or take a foot in a rightish direction? Bonus question - is it additive with multiple directions? Where F button x 2 = 10 feet. How about F, F, R? will that move the boat forward 10 feet and right 5 feet?
Thank you for contacting Minn Kota. Please use the following link to submit your inquiry to our Technical Service Team: bit.ly/3cKz32z Thank you.
I have a saltwater ulterra and need help with pairing with the puck? The light comes on when power is applied but it does not blink as noted in the directions. I have tries to pair it again with no success. How should I proceed with correcting this issue?
Ken,
If you can please send us a DM on Facebook, we can have a member of our Technical Support Team give you a call.
Thank you
Hey there, I have a Terrova and for some reason the other day, every time I hit spot lock I started trolling backwards without me hitting anything. I unplugged it and tried again but kept doing the same thing. Never had that problem before. Any ideas on what could be the issue?
Phil,
The only reason it would go backwards is if the motor was hooked up reverse polarity at the batteries or if someone had the Lower Motor Unit apart and it was put back together incorrectly.
Thanks!
Minn Kota Motors thanks for the reply. Ive used it several times prior including that same morning. For some reason it started happening out of nowhere.
This post has been awhile but for anyone reading now. It's not going backwards... well literally it is but it's stopping your forward momentum. That's why the head swings around and hits reverse.
I try to be going as slow as possible before I hit spotlock. Keeps motor from going crazy trying to get me back to spot from 2.5 mph
Hello,
I have question related MINN KOTA RIPTIDE RT_TERROVA 55/IP_BT 60".
Just bought it but there I can’t find heading sensor in the box. Is this model by Bluetooth option and I can buy additional heading sensor and connect it? Or no?
Hi Aigars, Thank you for contacting Minn Kota. Unfortunately, due to component availability, we are unable to supply heading sensors upon purchase. We are doing everything possible to secure critical components and provide anglers with their heading sensors. In the interim the only affected motor feature is "jog". Please redeem your heading sensor here: bit.ly/3Ib1nZm
How do you calibrate a minn kota powerdrive trolling motor?
David,
In order to calibrate a PowerDrive Motor you would have to have the Blue Tooth Model and you would have to purchase a Heading Sensor.
Below is the link to the Heading Sensor.

Thanks.
when I spotlock and hit the arrow, it beeps and quits spotlock. What am i doing wrong?
i_fish,
We believe you have the new Blue Tooth Motor and you are on Spot Lock trying to use the Jog Feature. If this is the case and when you hit the arrow the Spot Lock shuts off that would tell us that your Heading Sensor isn't paired to your trolling motor.
Thanks!
Minn Kota Motors wow, didnt even know about pairing with the trolling motor. Thank you!
Hard to tell what you’re doing on the remote
Do you need the PUCK for spot lock jog mode ?
Livinoutdoors,
You must have a Blue Tooth compatible motor with I-Pilot or I-Pilot Link to use the Heading Sensor. You do need to have the Heading Sensor to have the Jog Feature.
Best Regards!
Ok I know you can but how? Did I miss how to do it?
Is there a monthly fee or subscription for using GPS?
There are no additional fees for using GPS on the i-Pilot systems.
10-4 Thks
Minn Kota Motors . Hi can the riptide st do the same ??? . Just bought one .
Hi Jorgen, if your RTST has the new BT i-Pilot sytem with the heading sensor, you can use the Jog feature. Here's a link to the i-Pilot manual and it explains how to use Jog on page 15.

Minn Kota Motors does the power drive v2 with I pilot, come with spot lock feature?
My anchor mode goes crazy will not work ?
when I jog my remote it just cancels my spot lock. What is wrong. and I have a puck installed.
You may have lost the pairing between the heading sensor puck and the trolling motor. Please try pairing it again.
@@MinnKotaMotors So if the heading sensor is correctly paired, simply pressing a directional button will toggle from SL TMP (temporary) to spot lock jog(without disengaging spot-lock)? The instructions above just say "The Spot-Lock Jog icon will look like the Spot Lock icon, but will also have directional indicators", but doesn't really say how to switch between spot-lock and spot-lock jog.
Isn’t he hitting the go to button ?
Less marketing and more information on how the feature actually works while showing the sequence of buttons pushed would have been valuable. This video does not add anything new.
Exactly why I came here only to hear about how to move x amount of feet. I wanted to see a sequence of how to do things just like you.
Hit nail right on head. Can't even see the button he hits. Slow down, show us the up close and break it down.
Minn Kota you do a great Sales Pitch how about doing Tutorial? Your manuals don't even cover all the features of the remote... How about getting this guy to do video with a I-Pilot Link remote tutorial top to bottom?
Is the jog feature not a standard thing on these motors? Motorguide has that feature without a heading sensor.
The jog function requires the heading sensor be paired to the motor and calibrated. The heading sensor comes standard with all models that have i-Pilot with the exception of Powerdrive and Riptide Powerdrive models.
Thank you
@@MinnKotaMotors Thanks, I just purchased a used 2012 55lb riptide ipilot motor but waiting for parts to fix. Does that mean mine won't have jog function?
Kizz jd,
Only the BlueTooth i-Pilots have the Jog Feature. If your motor is Non-BlueTooth it will not have the jog feature. If you have a Serial # of your motor, we can tell you if it is BlueTooth or not.
Thank you
Didn't show which buttons to use.
Terrible. All talk did not show anything
Useless
