I pilot link not tracking straight at slower speeds
I know I have asked this question before, and several of y’all have answered but I’m still looking for solutions for Ipilot link. I have an 859 down image hummingbird on the front with the transducer mounted on trolling motor , I have an 899 side image hummingbird at the steering wheel with transom mount transducer. They are Ethernet linked. I have latest software on remote and controller of ipilot as well as on my birds. I know and my fishing partner can verify that when i first got the setup the unit tracked straight if i set a waypoint out in front going against wind and i could go 0.3 or so and it would go straight to the waypoint with reasonable variance for wind gusts. Now if i try the same thing or zig zags all over the place. So much so that i have given up setting the speed and just adjust the speed by 1 2 3 etc. i know about the north button. I have reset factory defaults. I don’t have external gps puck and since i do remember it working better on the beginning i don’t want to possibly waste money and it should work anyway. Anybody have any suggestions. I talked to hbird guy i grizzly jig last year. No real answers. Maybe it’s just the best this thing can do. If so i am disappointed.

Yes, just the i-Pilot on my ultrex, wind will push you all around on a line if you aren’t going directly with it. Into a stiff wind is a fight with the light front end of my boat unless at 4 or higher tm speed.
I think it has more to do with my boat being aluminum and lighter than a glass boat, but even in the 21 foot ranger I fish out of, the link did not perform as planned. Have heard MK is coming out with some new technology on it, may change the game.

Ipilot does not weave as bad, I may get off track a bit but it just keeps heading same general direction. Only speeds up when I make pretty significant turns with the remote. And yes, I have the puck
