    Default I-Pilot problem


    A friend of mine put a I Pilot on his boat. he took it out this week and it ran great for about 3 hours. For some reason it quit steering from left to right,. You can not get it to turn with the foot pedal or with the remote. When you try to turn it, you dont even hear the motor running. The only thing it will do is run/ turn the prop. Any ideas from you all?

    Thanks

    Check your steering motor connections.

    when connecting the IP to a TM, there are only 2 screws to remove and one, two electrical connections at the most to make. The electrical connections are the snap together type and hard to mess up. May just have a loose connection, will have to remove the cover via 2 screws to have access. UNPLUG the TM from power 1st for safety.
    GO BIG ORANGE !

    I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.
