Thread: Last minute boat project

You gonna float the loan? I only use the money I make from satellite sales to fund my fishin and it looks like next month before that happens.

Here's the deal. The peddle sits flat to the floor, so when you're in your seat, there is no angle when the motor is turned making it tought to have leverage to actuate the direction. You'll end up sitting on the edge of your seat to get some weight on your foot.

Next, you get no feedback on the peddle, it's just a pressure switch on the toe and on the heal. Either on or off, so you have to look down at the motor, steer towards the appropriate direction, then cut it off.

There are buttons on the front for steer left/right and a momentary switch. When I used it, I actually used those...so steer direction, momentary on, then steer some more.

What I'm not sure of is if you get the autopilot function without buying the co-pilot remote because there is an autopilot button on the foot pedal. If you will have that, then you can probably make do.

It may not be as bad as I'm thinking if you're planning on spider rigging with it for the Big Mama. Assuming you have no auto-pilot, you could turn on the constant run, turn it way down, then just steer left/right for course corrections. It's gonnabe a mess when you run over something and get 2 or 3 poles tangled up though.

Get Torch to chip in for it. He's rich on account of not having to spend money on hair care products.

Seriously, without the remote, the Terrova is just an annoying way to get from a to b.

Hence, my Terrova (without I-pilot) is hangin in the basement!

Amen Brother! I'm so broke I can't pay attention!

Get the IPilot, and stow the foot control.

Here's the deal.
The wrist control with the co-pilot is very very nice. After a while of using it you will be able to control your boat fom any position by feel, the controls are always exactly where you expect them to be (on your wrist). You can also get a second co-pilot so each one of you could control the boat if need be from your wrist. The remote for the i-pilot is to big to put on your wrist comfortably. Most use a lanyard around their neck which means it will be flopping around every time you move an you will have to look to make sure it's facing up before you can push buttons. I would live to have the features associated with the i-pilot but loosing the wrist control is to much to ask.

WB is correct in that without the co-pilot or the i-pilot the foot control can get annoying.
