If the Minn Kota Steer feature is not working or is intermittent, please check the following:
- Ensure the Minn Kota Ultrex is an i-Pilot Link model. Minn Kota Steer is not available for i-Pilot only.
- This can be identified by checking the serial number label on your motor.
- We also have a compatibility chart for a reference of what features are available on which motors.
- Check to ensure the software version for the Humminbird, MEGA Live, MEGA Live TargetLock, and the i-Pilot Link are up to date. Versions should be as follows:
- Humminbird HELIX: Version 2.750 or higher
- Humminbird APEX/SOLIX: Version 4.070 or higher
- MEGA Live: Version 1.170 or higher
- MEGA Live TargetLock: Version 1.140 or higher
- i-Pilot Link: Version 1.430 or higher
- Heading sensors for the i-Pilot Link and the MEGA Live Target Lock must be paired and functioning.
- Installation and pairing Instructions:
- Check the Humminbird Accessory Test view (HELIX) or Network Info page (SOLIX and APEX), and make sure Trolling Motor shows CONNECTED.
- If showing UNCONNECTED, check for power and make sure ethernet connections are secure.
- Ensure there are no network or power cables that have been disconnected, pinched or damaged.
- If all of the above is correctly installed, updated and functioning, but Minn Kota Steer is not responding, reboot all Humminbird and Minn Kota products in your network.
