PowerDrive V2 70/i-Pilot

**feelay** · 09-08-2010, 11:58 AM

My polarkraft is 18' with a 60" bottom. I would not want less than the Terrova 80 that I have. On a calm day, I can pull for about 6 to 7 hours at 2mph with the group 29's. I usually use the big motor and steer with the trolling motor into the wind, trolling motor only with the wind, never run out of juice. With less thrust, the motor is going to have to work harder, therefore using more power.

I can promise you one thing, you will forget your i-pilot remote or the battery will be dead. When that happens, you are dead in the water with the Pd. With the Terrova you just pull the foot control out, plug it in and continue fishing. Well worth the extra money, to me anyway.

Thanks G3...

So feelay... if I bought a separate foot petal for the PowerDrive V2... I would not be able to use it for the I-Pilot to continue? So the PD foot petal will not control the I-Pilot but just works as a normal foot control? Thanks for the info man.... Sounds like the terrova will last a long time!

I believe with the V2 foot pedal plugged in the Ipilot remote is disabled. Disconnnect the foot pedal and the Ipilot remote is re-enabled. Check me on that, but I think that's how it works.

Wrong, wrong, wrong! With i-pilot installed, foot pedal will not work at all. You would have to open the head of the motor and uninstall the i-pilot for the pedal to work.

I knew that....I just wanted to see if you were paying attention. Plus, I like for you to feel useful every now and then. I'm just that nice of a guy.

Thanks G3... I appreciate it.. How much do yall thing a maxxum 55 SC 12 volt is worth? It looks brand new.. I need to try and sell that sucker... $200 or $300?

Listed a MK Maxxum 65# 24V in good shape for $350 here. Not much interest until I got down to $300. Limited market here, so you might have better luck with the $300 on Craigslist or a Bass board.

Yep, since the i-pilots came out there are LOTS of used Maxxums out there to be had on the cheap.
