Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in Fishfinders
I have an older model Riptide with copilot. Really I think a foot pedal control would be better than the copilot. However this i-pilot is just the thing. You fish, you don't constantly fool with the trolling motor. It is the difference between catching fish and not catching fish on a windy day, plain and simple. I have used both the Advanced Auto Pilot mode and Auto Pilot mode (the first is GPS, the second is compass based) and both have their advantages in certain situations. The spot lock or anchor function works fine, but it's not something that you can expect to use when fishing because the motor invariably will run at full power briefly on Spot lock, and will spook fish. It's great if you're ready to eat lunch and don't want to anchor, or you need to tie on a new lure, etc. What I often do that is close to using Spot Lock when fishing is just to run it towards a lee shore on Advanced auto pilot and turn the speed down so that the motor is just compensating for the wind and I'm nearly motionless. On caveat with the i-pilot is that the electrical connection between the motor and battery needs to be very good, or the i-pilot will not be able to maintain GPS lock. This won't be obvious and the motor won't go on and off, but it'll just constantly loose GPS lock. I see I need to replace my 10 year old plug. Installation of this unit is extremely simple and easy. Just make sure you have the correct model i-pilot for your trolling motor. If you're not sure what model trolling motor you have you can go to Minn Kota's website and enter your serial number in the section of the website for buying parts, and it will tell you which model you have. You won't find the model number anywhere on the motor itself.Read full review
