Help ! I am torn between getting iPilot or coPilot

[maachuu]

for my new trolling motor, I cant decide which way to go, I dont really care for the fact that the iPilot will not let you have the foot controller along with the remote, and of course the coPilot will let you. I do like the fact of the iPilot is kinda "point and shoot" tho. Im just wandering if I will be using the remote most of the time and if so that makes me think I might as well go ahead and get the iPilot. Just looking from input from some of you guys that have these and what the pro's and con's are. Thanks for all help

The i-Pilot WILL allow use of the foot control on the Terrova, but not the the PowerDrive V2

I think even the copilot disables the foot control on the V2.

I moved up from an older PowerDrive (not the V2) to the Terrova so I could have all the functions of the pedal AND use the i-Pilot... glad I did.

Thanks Paddle, mine is the powerdrive V2

I have the terrova which means that I still have the foot pedal operable.. The foot pedal is currently stored. Once you get acclimated to the I-Pilot remote, there's no need to have the foot pedal in your way.

Thanks Quick, just what I kinda thought. Where do you keep you remote, I mean on the fishing road on the lanyard or belt clip

thanks

I'm in the process of mounting 2 Handheld GPS holders on my boat (similar to the automotive cell phone holders of yesteryear). I will be putting one on the center console and one on a rod holder up front.. This will work out nicely for holding the I-Pilot remote. The one on the console will be used while guiding for hybrids. The one of front will be used while spider rigging.

Are you talking about a ram mount? I have been trying to find a cradle for my remote so that I can mount the same was as you are.

It may end up being a ram mount if I can't find a "cheaper" version of what I want. lol

Go with the IPilot for sure.
