    Default I-Pilot


    Got the new terrova and I-pilot out today for a good workout. Did some muskie fishing on Kinkaid Lake in IL. The fish didn't cooperate, but did figure out how to use some of the features. The track feature is fantastic, but I can't for the life of me figure out why they don't allow you to record a track with the trolling motor stowed. I kind of figured out a way around it however, if you have the motor in the stowed position and want to save a track with the gas motor, just push in the deploy button, hit record, run your track with the gas motor, when you are done use the trolling motor to retrace.

    I did this several times, would just slowly drive the shoreline that I wanted to cast to while recording, get to the end and run my track. Saves a lot of hassle, don't have to mess with the trolling motor at all. This is fantastic feature once you get it figured out.

    With the motor stowed, there is no power to the GPS receiver.

    However you can keep it in the up position, push the deploy button (don't actually deploy the motor), and drive slowly with the gas engine while recording a track

    Jason with a V2 plugged in could you record a track with the motor stowed?
    The power would be on to the motor as long as its plugged in.
    Thanks
    Fishing is a way of life. Teach your grandchildren to fish, hunt and enjoy the outdoors
