CanePole's V2 ipilot foot pedal box - install....

Just got CanePoles box installed on my Powerdrive, works like a champ and really easy to put on. It only took about 15 minutes to connect, I just need to figure out where to screw it down and I'm done.

The wire out of the top goes to the trolling motor, the one out the left side goes to the ipilot wiring and the one out the bottom goes to the foot control, the switch on the top allows you to switch from the ipilot remote to the foot pedal. I took a couple of pics to show the size, it was smaller than I expected (insert joke here). Thanks again Tom!

Looks good. When you open the box, you will see the "thru holes" for mounting. Be sure the wires to the switch are inside the box before tightening back up so the wires don't get caught in the case and not seal good, Experience speaking.

Nice job there CP. How many of these have you done? You are a smart dude.:)

i have one,u right lynn canes a good smart dude

What does the Coke have to do with iPilot? Would a Mt Dew make it work better?

It's apparent I have missed something.
I do have the I Pilot with V2.
What does Mr. Poles box do?
How do I get one?

So you can still use your footcontrol with the I-PILOT PDV2

I am in front (16' Lund) and control with remote, usually 1/2 day.
Buddy in back with foot control.
I set speed on cruise using remote, or sometimes lay trak or follow track with remote.
Buddy steers boat, as well as setting auto pilot with foot control.
So how does Mr. Poles box change things then makes them better?

With most PD v2 that use I-Pilot you can not use the foot control , only the remote , with the terrova you can use both,but with CANE's box you use a switch to go from one to the other .

Thank you Harleyboy. I do have Terrova.

Coke can was for a size reference, that was a helpful question though.

Release, never seen a V2 or Terrova mounted that far outboard. Does it give you any problems as far as trailering or loading or getting in/out of the boat? What was your reasoning that led to the decision to mount that far off center line if ya don't mind me asking.

I didnt notice that I had to go back and look. You have a sharp eye there Chris. Dont know why you let them MS boys pick on you like that.

WB - It is actually as close to center as it would let me go and still be able to deploy it, I'm up against the side of the boat with the TM shaft when deployed, no daylight whatsoever. I am overhanging a little on the right side but the boat is pretty wide in the back end also, the head of the TM is still narrower than the back end of the boat when stowed, no issues getting on the trailer or anything. Basically, I wanted the TM as much out of the way in the front of the boat (when stowed) as I could get it, mission accomplished :) Don't you have fish to snag???

amen

Don't you have fish to snag??? See what im talkin bout WB

Thanks for catching that Wilbur, I meant it to read " ....8 1/2" spillway fish to snag " :):):)

9" thank you very much. Pffft.

When I mounted my Terrova to port, I kept the head just to the outside of the rub rail thinking I was trying to protect it as much as possible from hitting a stump or something when stowed. 'Course, if that ever actually happened, whether or not I tore up my trolling motor would be the last of my worries. Wish now, I had went against the grain and mounted it more off the center line. Doesn't crowd me too much now when stowed, but would rather reclaim that deck space.

Oh well, I'll get my next boat perfect. I just know it.

Yep. You can see how little space I've got on that front part of the deck, I have a ram mount you can see in one of the pics that holds an HB that couldn't go there if the troller went back at a normal angle. My boat has some "Yankee Boat" tendencies up on that front end, you just gotta find a way to make it work...I do like it when the wind blows though.
