Minn Kota i-Pilot V2 Power Drive and foot pedal

[Jarrod32]

I know that the Power Drive i-Pilot won't work with the foot pedal, unless the i-Pilot is disconnected. Then you can use the foot pedal, but not the i-Pilot. However, after disconnecting the i-Pilot and hooking up the foot pedal (purchased separately for the Power Drive V2), I find that the foot pedal does not work. The speed/prop engage works fine, but the turn functions do not work. After some experimentation in the store, I found that the foot pedals work fine on regular (non-iPilot) motors, but the turn function won't work on any of the units with pre-installed i-Pilot. This was the case with three foot pedals tested on different motor units.

Has anyone else come across this? Is there a fix for this, or is there a special foot pedal for the PDV2 i-Pilots?

I'm pretty sure the I Pilot has to be totaly removed since I think I read in my manuel someplace about having to cut and splice wires in the unit to install the I Pilot on the V2.
