| I recently just installed a new Terrova I pilot link system in my boat and my Humminbird 898c unit is not reading the trolling motor. I've triple checked the installation steps and all the connections and still am unable for my unit to read the trolling motor. I greatly appreciate all your help and suggestions. |

Location: Waukesha, WI, USA | Like Sam said, lower the trolling motor and wait about 30 seconds. A message will appear or go to start up menu to see if says it is connected. Gave latest software in head unit. Once it recognizes trolling motor, update remote (can't do this till it recognizes). I assume test Both wires coming out of trolling motor are hooked up. |

Location: Aurora IL | UF , another thought and I hope Its wrong but check the compatibility list on humminbirds site. Some high end machines will not link. If so you'll have to do everything with the handheld remote and wont get some features but still a great TM(wish I had one) Good Luck Bill |
