I was about to break out the fluke and make a y cable, but this was so much easier.

Watch the follow up video. I have paper diagram even a caveman can follow

LOL. Im no electrician for sure.

The wires that come from the steering motor. They are usually black and white for all the motors I have worked on. It may be going to the main board instead of power head.

No you still have switch plugs. The switch is there so you don't have to remove cover to swap steering wires inside.

The middle terminal of switch go to the steering motor, then one side of switch goes to the wires coming from board the other side of switch go to the I-pilot wires.

You can run one or the other not in parallel Have to change out the round plug for I-pilot or foot pedal.

Will get diagram drawn up and uploaded by end of day.

Thank you

Every figure this out? I’m running into same situation I have red and green plugged in and can get the motor to turn right but can’t get it to go left. Any tips would help

@@josephschweikhardt Nope. Been waiting for reply. If you find anything let me know!

It should be black and white from the board as well. Match the black to black and white to white on the switch. Ignore my green yellow just wires I had laying around.

@omieyouknowme thanks. I think we must have a later model board bcx we don't have a black and white coming from the board.

I used what I had which just 16gauge trailer wire. Pretty sure the wires in there are 18gauge

Thanks!

@@omieyouknowme So, have any way to hook up so the wiring always stays connected for ipikot and the foot pedal? I was think of building a Y adapter coming from the trolling motor and splitting so I can connect each control. So all I have to do is flip the switch and tooth the door control and ipikot remote are already to go. Not sure if it can work that way. Also not sure how hard it would be to make a Y adapter with the minnkota plugs

@@robherrmann1180 I looked at this building a y cable the cost effort is not worth it. Buy the terrova control board it comes with y cable

Couldn’t you just cut the wires going to the plug and slice in another plug so you have two plugs coming off the cord

Ya it's in my list of video to make. Right now my boat is down once it's in water I'll.get one drawn up and show hos this works.

You should be able to, as long as you have the foot pedal with matching 5 pin plug. The internals for power drive with and without I pilot is same. If you have co pilot those are different

Did you do it. I just bought ipilot Powerdrive I haven’t looked at it yet but it might not have the end for the foot pedal that come out of the motor

@@jost6953 no it's snowing here and 16 deg right now

@@jost6953 if your I-pilot from the head goes to main control panel has a round connection that you can unscrew that's where foot pedal would go. Then you would need to add a dpdt switch inline. I'll make another video of this soon as it warms up

I meant to ask Benjamin if he did it to his ipilot after looking at it, it does have the plug so I would have to assume that it is %100 able to be done to factory ipilot. Mine is brand new though and I’m not sure I want to void the warranty so I don’t think I will do it after giving it some thought

There is only a black and white wire that's steering motor wire from the board to motor. Those are the only two that matter

@@omieyouknowme can you post a picture I took the black and white and connected it to one side of my switch then done the other 2 wires then when it come to the wires for the steering of my foot pedal I can only get it to turn one direction not both

@@omieyouknowme your board wires are white and red correct? I have a red ,brown, green, yellow coming off my board that’s available unless I splice into the set that I assume is for the remote functions

@@evanblackwell7008 those are for auto pilot or other features. Don't touch those

@@evanblackwell7008 your black and white from motor go to middle of switch on either side. Then the black white from board goes to one side of switch same for wires from I-pilot. I can draw up a diagram this weekend

I am not the expert, just posted how I did this. What is he having issues with? Is he upgrading from an older motor like I did to full Bluetooth and new control board?
