Minn Kota power drive
« on: Jun 15, 2018, 10:05 PM »
I just bought a boat that came with a minn Kota power drive motor. My question is can I get the I pilot for it? I have seen it for the power drive v2.

Contact Minn Kota for a correct answer.
Not trying to be cute.
But you won’t know for sure unless it comes from them

Good luck

I know you can get a co-pilot but not sure on i-pilot. be warned, remotes are junk. going on #4 in 7 years. don't let them get wet if possible and ALWAYS  keep you're foot pad in the boat for when they die.

Do it in email form. That way if it’s wrong, it’s on them and you have proof of the interaction.

What year is the unit?  I know they habe instructions on how to add the ipilot for a lot of them.  You definetly want ipilot.  Best thing I ever added to my boat.

I've been through this and if it's the original PowerDrive unfortunately it's discontinued. I'm currently saving up for a Terrova.

Just put a Terrova on my boat and all I can say is "WOW". My wife hooked into a 10 lb. cat last weekend, and I was able to help her and not worry about the boat & wind getting us blown onto a shoal. Makes my job of boat handling easy and relaxing. Expensive.....yes, would I buy again...you bet. Don't have much time on it yet, but this is sure to be a game changer.

Thanks, I'm real pleased with that decision to buy. I have the 46# FW-FB MotorGuide cable steer that came with the boat on C list. If any local MFF member has a need for it I'd make you a great deal.

Next?  Panoptics unit up front!  :w00t:
