Ulterra, Terrova and Riptide Terrova motors: When these models are equipped with either i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link you can still use your corded foot pedal to control the motor.
Beside above, can I-pilot be added to PowerDrive? i-Pilot Link can be added to Terrova, Riptide Terrova (ST), PowerDrive V2, Riptide PowerDrive V2 (SP), and Ulterra models. Different kits are needed depending on whether your model is Bluetooth compatible.
One may also ask, does Minn Kota have a wireless foot pedal?
You can use the CoPilot Wireless Foot Pedal on your trolling motor instead of the corded pedal only if your PowerDrive V2 or Riptide SP already has the Minn Kota CoPilot system installed. For directions on how this is done, refer to the CoPilot Wireless Foot Pedal instruction sheet.
What is the difference between Ipilot and Ipilot link?
