iPilot to suit Riptide ST

DESCRIPTION

Minn Kota introduces i-Pilot, a trolling motor control system which utilises GPS technology to automatically navigate and position the boat for anglers. This is a true breakthrough in trolling motor technology, as what better way is there to keep you on the fish than to have the trolling motor to position the boat for you.

This is the ultimate in hands free operation!

i-Pilot integrates GPS technology into Minn Kota Riptide Saltwater Terrova, Riptide Saltwater PowerDrive and PowerDrive V2 bow mount trolling motors. This creates a new level of versatility for the angler and offers several features that have never been available before on a trolling motor.

The Record a Track feature allows an entire track, up to a remarkable two miles in length, to be stored to memory for immediate retracing or a later return trip. As many as three different tracks can be recorded and stored at a time.

The revolutionary Spot-Lock feature works like an electric anchor, Holding the boat in place. If the boat drifts more than five feet from the Spot-Lock location, the i-Pilot will activate the trolling motor to keep the angler on the designated spot. It automatically corrects for wind, waves, current and drift. The äóìrecalläó feature for Spot-Lock provides the ability to return to that specific location at a later time. Up to three Spot-Lock locations can be stored at a time.

The i-Pilot system offers another groundbreaking innovation to anglers for the first time, Cruise Control. With Cruise Control, i-Pilot maintains real-time on the water boat speed in one-tenth mile per hour increments. This precise speed control allows the angler to dial in bait presentations in trolling applications.

Also included in the i-Pilot control system is the new GPS äóñ based Advanced AutoPilot which utilises a series of waypoints to maintain a true heading while adjusting for wind, waves, current and side drift.

Integrated into the i-Pilot remote control is Minn Kotaäó»s famous CoPilot Wireless trolling motor control system. With the remote, i-Pilot users will be able to control speed and steering from anywhere in the boat.
