Is that your boat Wilbur
That sometimes use your big motor,you can steer from anywhere in the boat. I just got it mounted and it works fine. Now im going to buy a wireless remote for it so theres no cord to trip over.
Maybe i can get Cane Pole to help me hook it to GPS.

all I can see is the motor.
Just right speed. You have a actuator disconnect don't you? You can steer that sucker with the I pilot, but you will need 2 wires from Ipilot (troll motor steering motor wires) to actuator via current boost ckt. Simple. It will also work with my GPS circuit when I finish it that is.

That's nice Wilbur and I love the concept. One question, if no power is applied does the regular steering still work as normal?

Why couldnt I use the I Pilot GPS for following a track or recording one. The I Pilot wouldnt know it was connected to my actuator. Like you said connect the steer wires to my actuator. Maybe I can find a used I Pilot and mount in the back to just use for steering and recording, it would have its own remote. I will have to check with Minn Kota to see if I can just buy the circuit board. I already have an extra remote I can use.

I was just wondering because of loading in the wind. That's going to be great for pulling cranks. That second Ipilot sounds like the trick.

Cane pole is alot smarter than me,( well most everyone is) but would the GPS work on this set up, because the ipilot will turn 360 where the outboard wont, so the ipilot will keep trying to turn it one direction and the motor wont turn anymore.
