I am a disabled angler and I use it all the time love it. But I am still learning all the figures. 👍🏽

This motor pushes me 3.5mph on an intex seahawk 3. Motor is easy to hook up and mount. My only complaint is the battery cables are kinda short. No problems with it yet.

Now I just need an electronic fishing pole and an electronic beer opener. Nice demo. Thanks.

if your recording a route and hook a fish and press the spot lock to bring your fish in, can you resume the route you were recording?

When your trolling with your trolling motor, do you leave your outboard motor in the water or lift it up Thanks

@ValleyMarine1 5 жыл бұрын

You could do either, although keeping your main motor down can act as a rudder which may help keep your boat tracking.

Will the i-Pilot work with Lowrance electronics too? I see many videos with it working with Humminbird.

Another question, what pound thrust are you using on your trollers? I'm looking to get either a Lund Pro Guide or Crestliner 17 to 18' Deep V Tiller and was wondering if 70lb. thrust is good enough for spot anchor or auto pilot to work good or should I move towards to a 80lb.+ trolling motor.

How long motor shaft used on the big Lund?

@ValleyMarine1 6 жыл бұрын

This boat is a Lund 2025 Impact Sport and we equipped the boat with a 60" Minn Kota iPilot.

Dan 2 question's which motor are you running and when you have the I pilot a foot pedal is useless correct thanks and happy boating.

@ValleyMarine1 8 жыл бұрын

+Terry Graham Really good question Terry. The model we are using on this video is a 36V 112lb Terrova iPilot. If you purchase either the Terrova or the Ulterra you also get a foot control. Even if you have the foot control you will probably use the remote exclusively.

@slabseeker4627 8 жыл бұрын

+Terry Graham thanks for the answer Dan so if need be the foot pedal will work I just wondered the v2 power drive they say disconnect it because it won't work thanks again Dan.

@ValleyMarine1 8 жыл бұрын

Are you looking to put a iPilot head unit on a V2 power drive? If so you will not have the ability to use your foot pedal any longer. The foot control for the iPilot is different than the foot control you are currently running.

+Terry Graham No I'm just ordered the Terrova thanks.

The saleman DID NOT show any buttons being pressed. Is there a Pilot 1 video on KZfaq which shows button operation?

@ValleyMarine1 4 жыл бұрын

You can download a "Quick reference guide" straight from Minnkota's website. It shows and explains what each button does and how to operate the remote itself.

When you auto pilot how do you make it stop and hold that position? I thought hitting spot lock will disengage auto pilot

Push the anchor button.

I hit anchor lock on mine and it just spins in circles ? do you know why?

@ValleyMarine1 5 жыл бұрын

Sorry to hear that, it definitely sounds like some kind of a malfunction. Our suggestion would be to take it to your nearest Minnkota Dealer and have them take a look at it.

@rickv9560 5 жыл бұрын

Joey Latocha yes they have major problems with them trolling motors I just heard that they done more work to them supposed to be better. I had one it did nothing it suppose to do I sold one I had.

What's the difference in anchor mode and spot-lock?

@ValleyMarine1 7 жыл бұрын

Anchor Mode & Spot-Lock are actually the same thing. People tend to use different terms or one and not the other. Although confusing, they are the same thing.

I regret the hard-sell and saying ” technology “so many times And the poor editing at the end of the video. But other than that I think it’s a neat idea cheap not so much

Rob in the video we are about 25 to 30 yards at the furthest. We have ran the boat out to about 100 yards but that was the furthest. This video was for demonstration purposes only and we do not recommend not being in the boat when controlling your Minn Kota iPilot.
