NathanW Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Thanks guys. I think the belt loop holster seems like a good idea. I think Ill give the I-Pilot a shot. Quote
cadman Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Nathan, I have my remote on my belt loop. Doesn't hamper fishing and no problem. Easy to use and once you get used to it you will rarely if ever use a pedal. I would not do without my Terrova and I-pilot. Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted January 29, 2014 Super User Posted January 29, 2014 Spot lock is worth its weight in gold. Other than that, I would have a cable steer. But I don't because spot lock is that great of a feature! Jeff 1 Quote
NathanW Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Do any of you guys thinks its worth it to spend the extra $150 to get the Gen-2 Ipilot with the updated remote vs. the Gen-1 Ipilot. Just curious... Quote

Just curious... Sent you a PM The Gen 1 remotes will eventually need to be replaced. The buttons break. Quote
Bamacapsfan Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Great information I'm about ready to buy a used boat with a Minn Kota Terrova with i-Pilot, 24 volt, 80 lb thrust trolling motor with GPS, foot pad and remote control. Good to get these reviews. Thanks Quote
scrutch Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 I use my Terrova in a lake full of trees and stumps. There IS a short learning curve but I can take my boat anywhere in those stump fields just as easy as a cable steer. The trick is to go slow, set the autopilot, and make small course corrections with the right and left buttons on the front of the foot pedal. I almost never use the foot pedal itself. Just an easy toe tap right or left to miss a stump and you're picking your way through the stumps no problem! Also, a toe tap will turn on or off the autopilot and/or the constant speed cruise control. It takes some practice but it is verrrry easy once you get the hang of it Quote
