U N D E R S TA N D I N G H OW T H E I - P I LOT SYS T E M WO R KS Navigation i-Pilot uses GPS satellite signals as well as digital compass data to know where it is, where it is heading and the direction the motor is pointing. Since i-Pilot depends on GPS satellite signals for navigation, a minimum GPS signal level of one bar is required in order for GPS navigation controls to be enabled. Best results are achieved when a GPS signal level of four bars can be obtained.
GPS MOTOR CONTROL Memory i-Pilot has the capability of storing up to three individual tracks (each two miles in length) and three individual Spot Lock locations. These locations are stored in memory even when power is removed from the system. Spot Lock and Track memory locations are separate from each other and they cannot over write each other. Memory locations are identified on the remote LCD with an icon shown as A, B or C.
HOW S POT LO C K WO RKS Spot Lock START END 44 m i n n kot a m ot o r s . c o m Spot Lock uses a single point as a reference for the spot you want to stay on. This point is recorded and stored into one of the three memory locations when the Spot Lock button is pushed. Around the Spot Lock location i-Pilot uses an arrival circle to determine prop speed and direction. If i-Pilot sees it is within the circle, it will adjust the motor speed to zero.

HOW AUTOPILOT WO RKS Two different versions of AutoPilot are available Advanced AutoPilot and AutoPilot. There are distinct differences between the two AutoPilots and how they control your boat. AutoPilot START END 50 m i n n kot a m ot o r ss.c minnkot .co om m AutoPilot uses an internal compass to provide heading lock. When AutoPilot is on, it keeps the motor pointed in the same compass direction.

HOW ADVAN C ED AUTOPILOT WO RKS Advanced AutoPilot START END 52 m i n n kot a m ot o r ss.c minnkot .co om m Advanced AutoPilot not only uses compass heading but also GPS signal data to correct for cross winds, current and other external forces to keep the boat on a straight line. When Advanced AutoPilot is turned on, it generates a set of GPS points in a straight track line in the heading direction. i-Pilot now navigates to each individual point on this track line.

ENGAGING ADVANCED AUTOPILOT AND AUTOPILOT 1. To engage Advanced AutoPilot, press AutoPilot, press and hold once. To engage for two seconds. 2. The Advanced AutoPilot or AutoPilot icon will be displayed on the remote LCD. 3. To adjust desired heading, manually steer motor to new heading. i-Pilot will lock onto new heading.
ADVANCED AUTOPILOT/AUTOPILOT Which AutoPilot Do I Use and When? With all the external variables, this question can be difficult to answer. Both AutoPilots have their benefits based on the type of fishing and bait presentation desired. Advanced AutoPilot will keep the boat on a true straight path in most conditions. When very extreme conditions exists such as very strong winds or current, the trolling motor may not have enough power to control the boat smoothly.
H OW T R AC K R E CO R D I N G A N D PL AYBAC K WORK Track Recording and Playback When the Track Record button is pressed, i-Pilot starts to record GPS position data in the form of track points. The distance between these points varies based on the speed of the boat and the GPS signal strength. The very first track point recorded is called the start. The last point recorded is called the end. i-Pilot sees a recorded track as a series of these track points.
TRACK RECORDING / PLAYBACK RECORDED TRACK START END be used. The motor speed must be set high enough in order to stay on the track given wind, current and other external forces. i-Pilot can also pause the recording of a track. When the recording is paused, i-Pilot temporarily stops recording any new track points. When track recording is resumed, i-Pilot records new track points.
RECORDING A TRACK 1. Press on the remote. 2. The Memory Location icon will flash on the remote LCD for three seconds, allowing you to choose a memory location by pressing or Pressing again or waiting for three seconds accepts the memory location. 3. The REC icon will be displayed on the remote LCD. Remember this will be the start point on the track. 4. Navigate the boat along the desired path or course. AutoPilot and/or Cruise Control can be used while recording a track. 5.

If the boat moves farther than a quarter mile from where was pressed, the recorded track will be ended and saved to the memory location previously selected. 5. When ready to resume recording, navigate the boat just was pushed. Failure to do this may ahead of where cause erratic play back of a track. 6.

F R E Q U E N T LY A S K E D Q U E S T I O N S Q. Does i-Pilot record the speed I am traveling when recording a track? A. No. i-Pilot only records its location during track record. It is up to the user to set the desired speed manually or with Cruise Control. Q. Why doesn’t my GPS Signal Strength icon always show all four bars? A.
Q. Can I use multiple remotes with my i-Pilot? A. Yes, you can use an unlimited number of remotes simultaneously. Remember to learn each new remote to the i-Pilot controller. Q. Why does the LCD screen of the remote have dark blotches on it when I wear my sunglasses? A. Polarized sunglasses can dramatically affect the way an LCD looks to the human eye. Q. Can I control how fast i-Pilot takes me back to a Spot Lock location when using Spot Lock Recall? A.
T RO U B L E S H O OT I N G General Troubleshooting Problem: The motor is making erratic steering corrections while in AutoPilot, Spot Lock or Track to Start/End. Solution: Be sure to keep all ferrous metallic objects away from the i-Pilot controller as they will have an impact on the built-in compass. Such objects include: anchors, metal framework, etc. Problem: When a button on the remote is pressed the motor doesn’t always respond. Solutions: Check if the low battery indicator is on.
Problem: The remote LCD backlighting will not come on. Solution: Check if the low battery indicator icon is on. Backlighting is disabled when a low battery level is detected. Replace the battery. Solution: The Backlight will not come on if the remote is not currently communicating with the i-Pilot Controller. Spot Lock Problem: The boat doesn’t seem to keep close enough to the recorded Spot Lock location.
AutoPilot Problem: When in Advanced AutoPilot in strong winds, there is quite a bit of back and forth movement in the boat. Solution: While Advanced AutoPilot will keep your boat on a true heading, it may be at the expense of the boat having to continuously move to get back on the correct course. In these extreme conditions you may be better off using AutoPilot and correcting for the wind manually.
Terrova/Riptide ST: Problem: Pressing a button on the remote causes all the icons to come on for a few seconds then they all go off. Solution: Ensure the motor is deployed and that the System Ready light on the motor is illuminated. Solution: Verify that the i-Pilot controller is properly plugged in. Solution: Try to relearn the remote to the controller.
