    Force Tm anchor lock

    My foot pedal works as designed now.
    Next issue that my TM moves the boat back about 10 ft when I hit anchor lock from a dead stop in calm water. Then it turns around and goes back to were I originally engaged the anchor lock.
    I have the latest up dates. I have recalibrated the Tm numerous times. The gain is set at 1. The TM doesn’t hunt once it gets back to were it started.
    I’ve even pointed the Tm toward the rear of the boat before I engage anchor lock just to see if it would go the opposite way. It didn’t. Still straight back.
    This hadn’t been an issue as I fish offshore most of the time. I was in tight quarters yesterday and engaged anchor lock and the Tm pushed me Backward just missing some boulders.

    Any idea if Garmin support was able to fix the problem.

    He didn't have a fix for it. He does a run down on his youtube channel talking about it.

    For all my Garmin Brothers. Support got back with me today via Email. This problem is known and at this time Garmin does not have a fix. The solution will come in the form of an update at some point.
