minnkota bluetooth i pilot heading sensor install?

[Wayne P.]

The heading sensor has nothing to do with i pilot. It just tells the tm which direction is the front of your boat. You can put it in a rod locker so long as the arrow is pointing towards the front. It is only used by the tm for the jog feature while on spot lock so if your not using a remote or your h bird screen to jog you dont even need to install it.

Just run it off something that only has power when your master power is switched on, no separate switching needed.

If its iPilot LINK, both the iPilot GPS and Heading Sensor can the used with a display for both functions=same as the Humminbird AS GPS HS.

I don’t think it was a correction. Wayne added other reasons you might want to install it. By the way in a in a compartment is ok if it is relatively horizontal and still has Bluetooth signal to the trolling motor. JMO Bob
