Trolling Motor Question

My folks may be getting themselves a new pontoon, and it has a Minnkota Riptide TM on it. Would I be able to add the iPilot (or copilot) to that so they could operate it by the foot control OR the remote control? And if so, what would I need to buy to do this???

TIA!!

Call Minn Kota, 800-227-6433. 7-4:30 mon-fri. Serial # should be all you need.

Might get more info on the main board they have a mechanical question site.
