Spot lock on minn kota has nothing To do with helix. The brains and gps locator is in the head of your trolling motor and you may have a separate heading sensor. But the hummingbird has nothing to do with it. If there is an update available it may help otherwise could be something in the head of the minn kota going. Which would be my guess. Wry good idea to mount a ram on the bow to stabilize the head of trolling while traveling and even turbulant water as things can get shook loose or damaged that way



Not so sure because the Helix communicates to the Minn Kota via an ethernet cable. from the input I got from Hummminbird, that to maintain lock the voltage to the Helix has a somewhat narrow operating range of operating voltage range. With out the brain (the Helix) the unit wont lock. as far as the unit is concerned. Yes the GPS puck is a integral factor and could be an issue.
