I Pilot Circuit Board?

It seems that my terrova I Pilot board has gone bad.... does anyone know where the cheapest place to get a new one is?

Are you talking about the board in the head of the terrova or the main board down near the battert tester switch

The one in the head.

I'd be interested in your old non working board. I assume since you are looking for best price it is no longer under warranty.

I'd call Brian at BBG Marine and see what he could do for you. There are times when he sells for less than MAP.

Just curious what you would do with the old board?
Thanks

Fix it if possible, if not scavenge components of it. Why do you think it is not working, is not working completely or is some function not working?

When I start to use it the remote will come on then go off. After trying this several times it will slowly start to stay on longer where I can push one of the buttons but go off again. After a while I can get the motor to respond a little. Somtimes the remote shows the prop not spinning when it is and vise versa. It is as if it has to warm up to work and once it does it will work fine.
I called Minn Kota and described all this so they had me plug my foot control in and see if it worked okay and it did, so they are telling me My circuit board is bad.

Did you verify your input voltages to the unit?

I'd check voltage at the boat side of the plug and check voltage on the TM side of the plug.

I checked it at the plug but not inside the motor. I will try this today.
Thanks!

I've got the right voltage at the motor.

The only things I can think of is to relearn the remote, test current remote on another ipilot, or test a different remote with your ipilot. Other than that it is down to component level testing.

I have done both of those things.
Thanks!

Check wires in head.

Sounds like it will need to be replaced.

Thanks to all for the help. I called a service center today and described everything I have done and they think it is the circuit board at the base of the trolling motor.
I just wish I knew how to test it myself and save a hour drive one way and pay lord knows what for the repair.

Control board is an easy fix yourself. $120 part Should be $45 for labor.

Please tell me where you are finding a 80lb. terrova board for that price! I can change the circuit board, but would like to know for sure before I buy a $225.00 (what I was quoted) part that can't be returned.

Terrova board is $225. V2 only $120.

here it is for 190. they have both 24/36 and 12v boards.

Thank you for the link!:cheers2

Just wondering if you got your issue fixed?

No, I have not had time to take it anywhere. I have been fishing with the foot control that works fine.
Thanks.

I love my remote. Dont think I could do without it long anymore.

I can't take it anymore! I'm taking my Terrova in for repair this week. I have tried fishing without it by using the foot control and it is driving me nuts:bash

I hate you are having trouble with yours but I could not handle it either!! If my i pilot quit today, I would have to have another one tomorrow!

I,m still without it as of today. I was going to take it this week but the person that will do the work had a death in the family.
