"If you have a Lowrance unit I suggest getting the Gateway. Its the cat's meow. Everything you want to do with the motor is on a large display and right at your finger tips. Set the speed (either MPH or Prop %), course, anchor point, etc super easy. "

That sounds like the way to go! If I upgrade Lowrance units this winter I will get the gateway. That would eliminate the need for the remote and limit the steering input to just the pedal.
I am thinking that many guys do not use the configuration that I do, use remote to set heading lock then use the remote pedal to make steering inputs.

Like I said I think my problem stems from a software glitch where the trolling motor cannot determine what steering command to follow.

To clear something up when I said Navigation mode I meant heading lock.

Never did try cruise.

If I can get the heading lock problem fixed it will be a great trolling motor! Everything else puts previous trolling motors to shame, unfortunately for me the heading mode is a big part of how I like to fish.

Thanks!
