It works just fine. I didn't get to do much break in (beta testing) as we had yard work as the priority.
I will say after 4 hours and 50 fish, it was still working.;)

Do you guarantee 50 fish to everyong that installs one?
That is amazing. Minnkota should be willing to compensate someone for a device like that. Good job.
Way to go CANE ! Like RCC said Minn. should pay you for that, like it should come with the new I-pilot anyway, I also like the 50 fish thing also
i agree with RCC and Harleyboy,good job
I would love to have one, maybe a short production run for your cdc friends...pretty please?
have you done anymore testing,them minn kota connectors are sure hard to find,no luck yet
I know. I have no direct replacement, but looking at an alternative. My unit works pretty good, but the kids have my boat this weekend. Keep my fingers crossed.:eek::eek:Quote:

These will probably work. Trying for samples. Might have to buy before try. I am out of the work loop now.

Canepole, back when TnT and I were building those hand control boxes for the V2 I found some round waterproof conn. real similar to the ones that come on MinnKota but I can't remember where I found them... I will try to find that site again. Don't remember the price either but I don't think it was that much.Quote:

Yep. Keep looking. Price of gold is up and the pins are gold flashed. Probably 1 dollar of gold for 40 bucks. Good deal for someone. 30 years ago, I could have gotten the connectors for free. World is full of greedy butts and paranoids nowadays. Too many lawyers I guess.:eek::eek:Quote:
