Installed a new Ulterra iPilot Link Bluetooth on the bow of a Sylvan Pro Select V16. Downloaded the App, upgraded the software, performed sensor calibration, and sensor offset. When using spot lock, the motor will rev to full speed to port and then full speed to starboard thus overshooting the GPS location continuously. The 80#thrust will just about throw you out of the boat. The forum on In-Depth Outdoors speaks about this issue back in 2016. Supposedly, the external puck in 2017 eliminated the problem. Clearly it has not. Has anyone experienced this and found a solution? MK is standing by a software upgrade as the solution. It has been upgraded and the results remain the same.

 

BTW the calibrations were done in varying conditions from dead calm to 25+ MPH wind. I have videos of the problem but they are too large to post.

 

I've also seen videos of the calibration process. One used the trolling motor to perform the 2 circles while the other used the outboard. Will either one work?

 

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

I believe there’s a thread or two discussing this in the marine electronics section
