If this cannot be done, it is highly recommended that system veri cation be done in an open area on a calm day with a fully operational outboard motor for a backup means of powering your boat. To verify that i-Pilot is working properly before going on the water, follow the steps below. 1. Trolling motor should be correctly installed and mounted to the bow of a boat. 2. The boat and trolling motor must be located outside and have a direct view of the sky to obtain GPS satellite signals. 3. Verify that all obstructions are away from the prop in all directions in both the stowed and deployed positions. 4. Connect power to the trolling motor. 5. Deploy the motor so the motor shaft is completely vertical. 6. i-Pilot will emit four short beeps on startup. 7. Press any button on the i-Pilot remote. 8. The i-Pilot remote LCD will come on; prop speed and the GPS antenna icon will be displayed. It should take no longer than two minutes to obtain a GPS signal strength of at least one bar. 28 minnkotamotors.com minnkotamotors.com INSTALLATION 9. When i-Pilot is powered up, it starts to gather satellite information about its location. A minimum satellite signal level must be achieved before all i-Pilot functionality is available. This minimum level is one bar on the GPS signal icon. At initial startup only manual functions will be available. 10. Verify all manual functions by pressing and

. 11. If you experience any problems with any of the steps above, or cannot obtain a GPS satellite signal, refer to the troubleshooting section beginning on page 64. minnkotamotors.com minnkotamotors.com 29 KNOWING YOUR REMOTE Layout The i-Pilot remote is divided into four sections: Manual Control, Tracks, Spot Lock, and Cruise Control/AutoPilot. Buttons in the Manual Control section of the remote do not require a GPS signal to operate and give you full, immediate control over steering, speed and prop functions similar to a CoPilot. All other buttons require a minimum GPS signal strength of one bar in order to operate. Buttons located in the Tracks section are used for track recording and playback. Spot Lock buttons are located in the Spot Lock section. Cruise Control/AutoPilot are located in the Cruise Control/AutoPilot section. Construction The remote is waterproof and oats in water. Range The range of the remote will be greatly reduced if it is used near or mounted to any metal object including aluminum or steel. It is also recommended that the front end of the remote not be obstructed during use.

FIGURE B FIGURE C 32 minnkotamotors.com minnkotamotors.com GETTING STARTED KNOWING YOUR I-PILOT CONTROLLER Construction The i-Pilot controller contains a very sensitive digital compass and is where all GPS satellite and i-Pilot remote signals are received. It is very important that the controller have a clear view of the sky in all directions and has a clear line of sight to the remote for optimum performance. All electronics within the controller enclosure are completely sealed. i-Pilot Speaker Remote Learn Button Remote Learning The i-Pilot remote is prelearned to the controller from the factory. The top of the controller has a single learn button to allow additional remotes to be added to the system. To learn additional remotes:

1. Power up the trolling motor. 2. Push and hold the learn button down. A steady audio tone will be heard while holding this button. 3. While holding the learn button down push any button on the remote being programmed. Three beeps will be heard when the remote is successfully learned. A remote can only be learned to one controller at a time. A controller can have an unlimited number of remotes learned to it. During the learn process, the remote must start out in the OFF condition. If necessary, the remote can be turned off by pressing and holding the Pause button for three seconds. minnkotamotors.com minnkotamotors.com 33 Audio Modes The i-Pilot Controller also contains an internal speaker which can be programmed to work in two different audio modes.

For Terrova and Riptide ST motors this is when the green system ready light is on. For PowerDrive V2 and Riptide SP motors this is whenever the motor is connected to power.

* For this reason it is very important to disconnect a PowerDrive V2 or Riptide SP motor from power when not in use or battery drain will occur. Accuracy The accuracy and responsiveness with which i-Pilot controls your boat is highly dependent upon many variables. Just a few of these variables and their general effects on responsiveness and accuracy are given below so that the behavior of the system can be understood. VARIABLE Ratio of motor thrust to boat weight Wind GPS signal strength Trolling motor battery power level EFFECT Excessive thrust on a smaller boat can cause i-Pilot to overcorrect. Not enough thrust on a large boat can cause i-Pilot to respond slowly. Excessive wind and/or current can reduce i-Pilots positioning accuracy. The greater number of GPS signal bars the greater the accuracy. A fully charged battery will give the best performance. 36 minnkotamotors.com minnkotamotors.com GETTING STARTED System Startup Once you have veri ed i-Pilots installation its time to start using it on the water. Follow these simple steps each time you power up your trolling motor for successful operation:

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. In simple terms, i-Pilot remembers and creates points to navigate your boat automatically. i-Pilot also uses a method of GPS navigation called arrival circles. These imaginary circles allow i-Pilot to understand when it has drifted away from a point and when it has arrived at a point. The size of the arrival circles vary depending on GPS signal strength, thus the greater the signal strength the smaller the arrival circles. Tracks Tracks are made of many points that i-Pilot records when recording a track. The distance between these points varies based on GPS signal strength and the speed at which you record the track. When a track is played back, i-Pilot uses the track points and arrival circles to navigate the track. 42 minnkotamotors.com minnkotamotors.com GPS MOTOR CONTROL Memory i-Pilot has the capability of storing up to six individual tracks (each two miles in length) and six 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 identi ed on the remote LCD with an icon shown as A, B, C, D, E or F. When the memory icon is ashing, a different location can be selected by pressing or

. minnkotamotors.com minnkotamotors.com 43 HOW SPOT LOCK WORKS Spot Lock 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 six 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. If i-Pilot sees it is outside of the circle, it will control motor speed in an attempt to get the boat back into the circle. 44 minnkotamotors.com minnkotamotors.com SPOT LOCK minnkotamotors.com minnkotamotors.com 45 ENGAGING SPOT LOCK on the remote. 1.

There are distinct differences between the two AutoPilots and how they control your boat. AutoPilot AutoPilot uses an internal compass to provide heading lock. When AutoPilot is on, it keeps the motor pointed in the same compass direction. If a manual steering correction is made, AutoPilot locks onto the new compass heading to which the boat was steered. This method of heading tracking does not take into account external forces such as a side wind or currents, which can allow side drift. 50 minnkotamotors.com minnkotamotors.com AUTOPILOT minnkotamotors.com minnkotamotors.com 51 HOW ADVANCED AUTOPILOT WORKS Advanced AutoPilot 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. When the user steers to a new heading, a new track line of GPS points are laid down in the new heading direction. 52 minnkotamotors.com minnkotamotors.com ADVANCED AUTOPILOT minnkotamotors.com minnkotamotors.com 53 ENGAGING ADVANCED AUTOPILOT AND AUTOPILOT 1. To engage Advanced AutoPilot, press once. To engage AutoPilot, press and hold 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 Using Advanced AutoPilot and AutoPilot with Other i-Pilot Functions Advanced AutoPilot and AutoPilot can be used in combination with Cruise Control and while recording a track. AutoPilot Advanced AutoPilot can be turned on by pressing the AP button on the foot pedal. 54 minnkotamotors.com minnkotamotors.com ADVANCED AUTOPILOT/AUTOPILOT Which AutoPilot Do I Use and When?

With all the external variables, this question can be dif cult to answer. Both AutoPilots have their bene ts based on the type of shing 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. In these extreme cases it may be best to use AutoPilot and let the boat move with the wind or current if the motor is not powerful enough to overcome it. AutoPilot helps you maintain a constant heading but does not compensate for wind or currents. Both Advanced AutoPilot and AutoPilot are valuable tools the sherman can use for accurate and precise bait presentation. We highly recommend getting on the water and trying both Advanced AutoPilot and AutoPilot in various shing situations and applications. With experimentation and time you will nd which AutoPilot works best for you in a given situation. AutoPilot cannot be turned on by using the AP button on the foot pedal. minnkotamotors.com minnkotamotors.com 55 HOW TRACK RECORDING AND PL AYBACK 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 rst 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. When a Track to Start or Track to End button is pushed, i-Pilot will navigate to the nearest track point. Once this nearest track point is reached, it will then follow the track points in sequence back to either the start or end based on which button was pressed. Once the end or start track point is reached, i-Pilot automatically exits from the Track to Start or Track to End function. During track playback, i-Pilot takes control over all steering functions;

speed can be manually controlled or the Cruise Control function can also 56 minnkotamotors.com minnkotamotors.com TRACK RECORDING / PLAYBACK 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. Due to the nature of pausing a recording, there may be a large separation distance between two track points or two track points lying on top of one another where the pause occurred. This can cause erratic motor steering therefore it is very important to know where the pause button was pressed and to resume the recording just ahead of that location. If while paused, the separation distance exceeds a quarter mile, the recording will automatically stop. minnkotamotors.com minnkotamotors.com 57 RECORDING A TRACK 1. Press 2.

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 doesnt my GPS Signal Strength icon always show all four bars?

A. GPS signal strength is impacted by many inuences including:

i-Pilot controller having a clear view of the sky (especially to the southern sky), boat being located alongside a high bank and your geographic location. Is i-Pilot compatible with CoPilot?

Q. A. No. None of the components between the two systems are compatible with each other. Q. Does the remote oat?

A. Yes. Q. How long of a track can I record?

A. Each individual track location (A, B, C, D, E or F) can be up to two miles in length. 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. 62 minnkotamotors.com minnkotamotors.com Q. Can I control how fast i-Pilot takes me back to a Spot Lock location when using Spot Lock Recall?

A. No, Spot Lock and Spot Lock Recall are fully automatic functions that take full control of motor steering and speed. Q. Where can I purchase additional remotes?

A. Your local Minn Kota retailer should carry additional remotes. If I turn off the remote, will i-Pilot continue to operate?

Q. A. Yes. The i-Pilot Controller will continue in its current state of operation until the user makes a change either with the remote or foot pedal (Terrova only). Q. Where are the six tracks and Spot Lock locations stored?

A. In the i-Pilot Controller. Q. Does i-Pilot help to keep the coil cord from wrapping around the motor shaft?

A. Yes and no. When in Spot Lock, i-Pilot keeps track of how far it has rotated in either direction. If a new correction will cause the coil cord to wrap, it will rotate in the opposite direction in order to prevent the wrapping. In all other modes, it is up to the user to monitor the coil cord and to rotate the motor accordingly to avoid wrapping. minnkotamotors.com minnkotamotors.com 63 TROUBLESHOOTING 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 doesnt always respond. Solutions: Check if the low battery indicator is on. If so, replace the remotes battery. Check for large obstructions between the remote and the motor. Problem:

Solution: Could be a dead battery in the remote. If the battery was just I press a button on the remote and nothing happens. replaced, open the remote case and verify that all the internal components were properly reinstalled. If 3 seconds to unlock the keypad. is displayed, the keypad is locked. Press and hold for Solution:

Problem: I press a button on the remote and all the icons come on for a few seconds then it shuts off. Solutions: Verify that the motor is powered up (for Terrova and Riptide ST, it must also have its system ready light on). Go through the learn process for the remote (see page 33 for the procedure). Problem: i-Pilot wont let me turn on certain features like: Advanced AutoPilot, Record, Track to Start/End or Spot Lock. Solution: Verify that the GPS Signal Strength icon on the LCD shows at least one bar. If there are no bars, i-Pilot will not allow these GPS-based features to be enabled. 64 minnkotamotors.com minnkotamotors.com 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. The Backlight will not come on if the remote is not currently communicating with the i-Pilot Controller. Solution:

Spot Lock Problem: The boat doesnt seem to keep close enough to the recorded Solution:

Solution:

Solution:

Spot Lock location. Verify the trolling motor batteries are sufciently charged Check for weeds on the prop. In more extreme wind and current conditions, the boat will tend to stabilize a little ways down wind from the intended location. Relock the location the same distance upwind and expect that the boat will drift some in the downwind direction. Cruise Control Problem: The GPS speed displayed on the remote is different than Solution:

what my other GPS system shows. If you are using Cruise Control with Advanced AutoPilot or Track to Start/End, i-Pilot calculates the actual speed in the intended direction of travel which may differ from your GPS reported speed. Problem: Cruise Control isnt holding the target speed close enough. Solution:

Verify the trolling motor batteries are sufciently charged. minnkotamotors.com minnkotamotors.com 65 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. Problem:

Solution:

I press and release the Advanced AutoPilot button and the system goes into AutoPilot instead of Advanced AutoPilot. If the GPS Signal Strength indicator shows no bars, then pressing and releasing the AutoPilot button will enable AutoPilot automatically instead of requiring that the button be held for two to three seconds like when GPS is present. Track Record and Playback Problem: While in Track to Start/End the propeller suddenly stopped. Verify you did not accidentally enable another automatic feature Solution:

such as AutoPilot or Spot Lock. Solution: When the end (or start) of the track is achieved during playback, i-Pilot will automatically turn off the motor along with canceling Track to Start/End. Problem: While in Record mode, the recording suddenly stopped. Solution:

You may have reached the two mile limit for recording a track. 66 minnkotamotors.com minnkotamotors.com Terrova/Riptide ST:
