Have had mine for a few years, never had that problem.
Check all power sources first. Need more info, I am assuming it's an Ipilot or Ilink?
When mine has done that I have usually lost some of the satalite reception due to weather or something.
That's a really good idea Cray has brought up!!' Did you check signal strength when it was acting up?Quote:

It didn't work at All the whole day
Sounds like you need to find the nearest service center, sorry. P.s-Check your 1-pilot hand control battery.
I turned the remote control off and hooked the foot pedal up ....still had problems
Try this, pull head cover off, should be able to locate the fuse in there. Check and see if is blown. Have heard of that happening and causing nav problems.
I will try it as soon as I get home... hope it fixes the problem Thanks for helpQuote:

I had similar problems last summer. Mine was due to old TM batteries that drained quickly. Terrovas are extremely sensitive to low voltage from the either the remote or the TM battery supply. Also, you may need to ensure that you have the latest software update loaded on the motor.
How do you update software on a trolling motor?Quote:

I have the iPilot and link CL had to school me too, I blew the fuse in the head earlier this year the whole motor quit. Remote said I was running at 10 but the prop never moved, Also check the 3 amp fuse for your link in the head , if it blows you will lose navigation.Quote:
