Check in the 711 and be sure it is selected as the source for heading data.<br /><br />- Outboard engines?<br /><br />- Is there a rudder (outboard position) sensor, or are you using phantom feedback?<br /><br />- Are you using the Peter Haydenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06586816406202219798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3086978695636448584.post-18798525342637728032016-08-26T12:56:56.539-04:002016-08-26T12:56:56.539-04:00Pete - I use the 711 on my boat and like it.

I am working to make the adjustments to on the reponsiveness setting, but it's difficult. My objective is to improve my trolling track to keep the boat straight.
