Minn Kota iPilot GPS control system the ultimate in
hands-free operation is a GPS-enabled replacement head for current MinnKota
electric drive bow-mount trolling motors, including the Terrova, Powerdrive
V2, and Riptide ST/SP motors. Minn Kota iPilot is compatible with motors
manufactured in 2007 and forward. The installation is easy enough that
anyone should be able to accomplish it quite easily.
Simply push the Record button and fish along your desired course. i-Pilot
will store that track to memory (up to three separate tracks). When you want
to retrace a course, i-Pilot’s Playback functions will automatically guide
your boat down the track. With the Record Track feature you can fish up to a
2 mile track while recording the trip and store it in memory so you can go
back to it later. Up to 3 different tracks can be saved at once. i-Pilot can
record your track (A to B), and then retrace the path automatically. To
retrace your path in either direction, just press the Track to Start or
Track to End buttons.
Spot-Lock works like an electronic anchor. With the push of a button,
Spot-Lock will keep you on the fish. Spot-Lock Recall lets you return to
that spot later. If your boat happens to drift 5 ft from you position, the i-Pilot
will make the trolling motor go back to the designated spot. You can save up
to 3 Spot Lock locations.
Select and maintain a consistent speed for optimum bait presentation with
cruise control, and use the legendary speed and steering functions of Minn
Kota® CoPilot™ to precisely control your boat. Another new feature that
comes with this units is Cruise Control. It maintains on the water speed in
1/10 mph increments.
Just point your trolling motor in the
direction you want to head and activate Advanced GPS based AutoPilot™
i-Pilot will keep you on your heading and delivers you there with GPS
accuracy, compensating for wind, waves, currents or drift. Advanced GPS
AutoPilot™uses a series of waypoints to maintain a heading, even through
waves and wind. The remote control will allow anglers to control speed and
direction from anywhere in the boat.
