Anchor Mode
Anchor Mode uses satellite-based location tracking to automatically hold the boat in position without physical anchoring! Hit the button when you find the fish and let the motor work on keeping you planted on the mark.Cruise Mode
Cruise Mode maintains a consistent ground speed when wind or current tries to speed you up or slow you down! It is built for trolling and covering longer stretches of water with a steadier pace.Track Recording
Track Recording saves your fishing route so it can be automatically retraced later! That gives you a handy way to return to a productive drift line or trolling run once you know the fish are there.Navigate Mode
