The indicator light will not come on, and I suspect I have a nonfunctional unit. In other words one without AP even though the foot pedal and base have the button and indicator light.
What should the decal on the control head say if it has AP?
Mine says digital maximizer.
You could try taking the cover off the head unit and see if there are any loose wire connections. Just a couple screws and the top cover will come off without issue. All Terrova's have the DM and has nothing to do with the AP function.
I called MK and found out it does not have AP, going back to BP tomorrow.
I was told they are no longer making this model.
Don't believe you have what you wanted.
Box & decal on box should say something like this:
1,000 Terrova 80/US2-60" w/i-Pilot
I have both hand-held remote and foot control unit
Can do everything except follow a contour navonics.
He wasn't wanting the I-Pilot, just Auto Pilot. His foot pedal was Auto Pilot equipped (or compatible for AP) but he didn't have the Auto Pilot in the head.Quote:

I had one but never again.
I have a Riptide 70 ap with the co-pilot. Didn't have the change to get the I-pilot at the time, and wish I had it now. I like the AP for trolling and slow rolling down a bank while casting. The AP keeps me fishing and not controlling. In the wind when fishing a brushpile I use it to keep the motor headed into the wind, saving the time to turn back into the windonce hitting the pedal. Having come from a first gen pd motor I like the features, maybe it'll go away one day and a terrova I-pilot will take it's place.
If someone said 'You can fish with all your poles but got to use the old foot-control trolling motor, "OR" you can keep your I-pilot with hand-held remote but only use two poles I would reply "Leave me 2 poles please!" Best money I ever spent!:biggrin:biggrin:biggrin:biggrinQuote:

The manual items were fairly easy to catch onto.

Any one experienced this , or am I doing something wrong, or is motor not performing properly. Auto pilot seemed to work better and I thought it was supposed to be the opposite.

Refer to page 50 - 55 in your I-PILOT owners manual.
That's just the opposite of how a Power Drive V2 works. But the PD doesn't work with GPS like the Terrova. Glad you pointed that out, John......I never read instructions or owner's manuals :RoflQuote:

Thanks for the information. My manual does not mention waiting a minute to
depress the autopilot button. I will try your suggestion etc. Need to make several practice runs next few days.

After studying the features and the way I fish both salt and fresh water, I decided this will enhance my fishing days. When you are a weekend warrior, quality counts!!
Tomorrow I rig up the batteries and mount the motor!
If you fish the pads or shallow water, you will be glad you got the foot pedal. :biggrin:biggrin:biggrinQuote:

40.99 and works great.

When just pressed one time the N button will have a circle around it, that's when your using GPS and it has a tendency to wander. How well it will maintain heading depends on cross wind and boat speed.Quote:

Another thing to do is get out by yourself and practice recording and following a track. That function also works off the GPS and calmer it is the better it works. There again boat speed and wind have a big impact on how well it can stay on course.
how does the cruise control work on these Terrovas? Also is the cruise control only on the i pilot model? thx
