I have the standard i-Pilot, not the link, so mine works independently from my Helix 9. I wonder, can you test jog with the 'bird powered down, and see if that makes a difference? That's all I got, sorry!
Hey guys, I have an ultrex I pilot link. Its connected to a humminbird helix 7. I use spot lock a lot. I havent had any issues until now. When I try to jog the spot lock it shuts off the spot lock. I have the puck paired and calibrated. It has always worked before. I cant seem to find anything on line that helps me. Have any of you had this issue? Thanks for your help!

Are you 100% sure nothing got under the foot pedal?
That will cause the same thing.
Stick, jar of Crappie nibbles, power wire. Just a thought

Yeah I'm sure, I looked. Also spot locks works until you hit the Jog button.

I know you said the compass puck is OK. When running, it should flash every 3 seconds if all is OK, but I think the jog options on the remote go away when it isn't on, so this probably isn't it.

I’d call minn Kota. Let us know what it is, might help one of us one day.

Good read here. Couple of things in here you might check.

I fished today and it worked fine. This time I never turned the Helix on. I was fishing a tournament so I didn't push my luck. I use my garmin livescope so I didn't need the helix today anyway. Next time out I'll try with and without.

I have an Ultrex as well, non link. The spot lock works great most times, to be honest I've never tried the jog feature. I have had to re calibrate mine a few times and update boat scale and what not. If I'm not mistaken with the link function you could just place a way point and choose to "go to" so that may be the easiest option. I'm guessing it's something simple and being over looked and would be curious as to a follow up on your findings. These motors are also critical of speed settings, water conditions and so forth on how they respond.
