I-Pilot question

[lawman]

I have a one year old Minnkota 80# Power Drive trolling motor. Can I add the i-pilot feature? Will my footpedal still work?

No foot pedal on the Powerdrive. Terrova, I believe yes, but not on the Powerdrive. From what I have heard from most, they never use the foot pedal when they go to iPilot. I just upgraded and thought long and hard if I wanted a foot pedal, and I went without the pedal.

Correct, V2 you use either the remote or pedal but not both, Terrova you can use both... Depending on your fishing style if you can live without the pedal, I use the pedal more than remote but I cast 99% of the time and to much trouble to stop working a bait to adjust the motor...

The others are correct ..... if it is a PowerDrive V2 with i-Pilot you will have the remote only, no foot pedal. If it is a Terrova with i-Pilot you will have foot pedal and remote.

As long as your PowerDrive is a PD V2, you can add the i-Pilot.

Regarding foot pedal vs. remote, I agree with Esox_Magnum ..... I use my foot pedal much more than I use my remote ..... but it all comes down to your style of fishing and what you're comfortable with.

I pitch jigs 100% of the time when my Terrova is in the water. Used the foot pad once.. Its been stowed in a rear compartment ever since..
