If you like to fish from a boat, the I pilot makes life pretty nice but it definitely comes at a price. They're not getting any cheaper either, my terrova has went up $500 since I bought it.

I just bought the I- pilot upgrade for my powerdrive. Haven’t got to use it yet. Question for you. When you recorded a track running your big engine did you have to deploy the trolling motor? Since there is not an on off switch for the powerdrive.. thx

I have not ran a track yet with my outboard. I would say you would not run it with the trolling motor down. My head unit will run a track with the motor stowed. This weekend I will run one and let you know Thanks for watching.

@@earlybirdfishing no I would prefer to record a track with the trolling motor stored, but a guy at minn Kota dealer told me the trolling motor has to be in the deployed position because of some sensor in the head unit. But I don’t believe that to be true. I’m actually gonna try to get out tomorrow and try. Ty

??? does it have to connect in any way with a fish finder ??? for the GPS / Spot lock to work or is it all built into the motor system itself ??

It works all by itself. But you can buy a cable and attach it to a hummingbird as well.

Do you miss your foot pedal? That is my only "hang up" at this point. I have a powerdrive 55 non-ipilot but I can purchase the upgraded head; this also eliminates the foot pedal. There's times I have been casting and manuvering with my foot so not having that option anymore has me hesitant. That said, I'm certainly not going to buy the terrova to have both; my power drive is still semi-new.

I actually don't miss the foot petal at all. I do love the freedom of controlling the boat from anywhere. With the Due north mode and track mode for most of the time I'm actually fishing or just hanging out till we get something on. For me it was the best boating purchase I have ever bought.

I upgraded my 55lb and absolutely love the remote vs. foot pedal. I thought it would be odd to get used to but it really isn’t; it’s actually quite liberating not being tied down to the front of the boat. I never realized how much of my boat deck I didn’t use because of the foot pedal; I almost feel like I have a brand new boat being able to use all the deck space & not have to be close to the foot pedal. It’s great!

That's a wonderful question. I'm running maxx everstart. Maxx-29dc 800 Marine crank amp,105 amp hours@20hr. I get way more battery life with this motor vs the foot control allterian bow mount. I can get around 20 hours of running time depending on the weather conditions and of course higher speeds with lessen by some but not to much. Thanks for watching.
