IPILOT noise

In or out of water? I can't hear good, so I use a tick stick to check it.

I would also say transducer working, I can hear mine on the rear of the boat a lot of times
How so you like the Ipilot

If it is the transducer, it should go away if you turn off the fish finder.

It does it when the tolling motor is in the water and depth finder is on, but its ticking in the head of the motor and I hope its not translating all the way down to motor head (making noise and spooking fish). Didn't know if anyone else has experienced this. Outside of that it seems that when your in the anchor mode it takes it a while to navigate back on spot, but I was in some high wind and I think its going to work great in calmer waters. Just going to take some time to get used to. Thanks for any input guys.

In regards to the anchor comment. Listen to the motor next time you are in anchor position. You will be able to hear the motor speed ramping up, to try to overcome the wind. It is a bit sluggish, but if it was more agressive, then you would have massive overshoot during calm conditions.
I like the ipilot but find that in adverse conditions, I sometimes need to take manual control to get a quicker response. I don't have a problem with this as the majority of the time it is fine in auto.

The is an echo up the hollow shaft from the transducer. What you hear is short bursts of the sonar frequency (usually 200khz) called the ping.

Ok so the ping (ticking noise) is normal? It kinda gets on the nerves. The depth finder works fine but is there any adjustment to help or is it just the normal? Stymie I just got unit installed and even though the wind was blowing hard I just had to go and try it out. Now I dont fish in hard winds like that but can already see where its going to help with fishing, and the record a track is the bomb for trolling! Thanks for the info
