Thread: Terrova not working

in order to re-learn the remote the trolling motor has to be turned on !!! he can not get the trolling motor to power up !!!! that's is the problem !!!!

Remote Learning
The i-Pilot remote is prelearned to the controller from the factory. The top of
the controller has a single learn button to allow additional remotes to be added
to the system. To learn additional remotes:
1. Power up the trolling motor.
2. Push and hold the learn button down. A steady audio tone will be heard
while holding this button.
3. While holding the learn button down push any button on the remote
being programmed. Three short chirps will be heard when the remote is
successfully learned.
A remote can only be learned to one controller at a time. A controller can have
an unlimited number of remotes learned to it

Yeah strmwalker is correct. It won't power on at all. I will however try to re find it but I don't think it will do much good. Would love to be pulling some cranks right now

Two things to check when not getting power light on Terrova and you have proper voltage coming in. The sensor or switch that disengages when the motor is deployed and the next and more likely is the control board. These motors will go through a control board around the 5 year mark typically. Though, charging the batteries while the motor is getting power will shorten the life or get them sooner. A control board is a simple fix. It is 4-5 wires if my memory serves me right. I've changed them at the landing.

How do I check and know if they are bad and where are they?
