Detailed description

The Minn Kota i-Pilot kit for Terrova/Ultrex BT (2774157) is a GPS navigation system designed for Minn Kota Terrova and Ultrex electric motors with Bluetooth compatibility. It enables precise control of the electric thruster with automated positioning and navigation features.

Advanced navigation and positioning

This i-Pilot system integrates sophisticated navigation modes. The Spot-Lock function keeps the boat at a precise GPS location, acting as an electronic anchor. The iTrack system allows recording and following routes, with four distinct arrival modes. The Autopilot, in Legacy mode, maintains a set heading without automatic compensation for external forces. Additional functions such as speed control and "Go to max speed" provide extra propulsion control.

Integration and technical specifications

The i-Pilot system is compatible with the control heads of Ultrex, PowerDrive, Riptide PowerDrive, Terrova, and Riptide Terrova motors. For optimal operation, the system requires a heading sensor, proper installation, connection to a power source, and pairing with the thruster control head. Calibration of the heading sensor on the water is essential for accuracy. The system operates in the frequency range from 2402 MHz to 2480 MHz, with a maximum transmitted RF power of +10 dBm. Bluetooth connectivity enables pairing and control via the remote or the i-Pilot app.

Expert opinion

« Maîtrise du positionnement et de la navigation GPS avec i-Pilot »

L'intégration du kit i-Pilot Minn Kota sur un moteur Terrova ou Ultrex BT enrichit considérablement les capacités de navigation. Ce système va au-delà d'une simple télécommande, en dotant le moteur de fonctions de positionnement et de contrôle autonomes via GPS. La fonction Spot-Lock est un atout majeur pour les pêcheurs, permettant de maintenir une position fixe sur un point d'intérêt sans intervention constante, bien que des vents et courants trop puissants puissent réduire sa précision. C'est une capacité essentielle pour la pêche de précision ou le maintien sur des structures spécifiques.

Les fonctions Autopilot et iTracks offrent des options de navigation planifiée, permettant de suivre des parcours définis ou de maintenir un cap avec régularité. Il est crucial de souligner que la performance de ces systèmes dépend fortement de la puissance du signal GPS et de l'état de charge de la batterie du propulseur. Une installation méticuleuse du capteur de cap et sa calibration sur l'eau sont fondamentales pour assurer la précision du maintien de cap. Il convient de noter que l'Autopilot en mode Legacy ne compense pas automatiquement les dérives dues au vent ou au courant, ce qui doit être intégré dans la stratégie de navigation.

Ce kit représente une solution d'amélioration pour les propriétaires de moteurs Minn Kota compatibles, offrant des fonctionnalités de navigation avancées sans nécessiter le remplacement complet du propulseur. Il cible les utilisateurs qui recherchent une précision accrue dans le positionnement et une automatisation de la navigation pour optimiser leur temps sur l'eau.

Which electric trolling motors are compatible with the i-Pilot kit for Terrova/Ultrex BT?

The i-Pilot kit is designed to be compatible with the control heads of the following Minn Kota electric trolling motors:

UltrexPowerDriveRiptide PowerDriveTerrovaRiptide Terrova

What are the main navigation features offered by the i-Pilot system?

The i-Pilot system offers several advanced navigation modes:

Spot-Lock: Keeps the boat at a precise GPS location, acting like an electronic anchor.iTrack: Records and follows specific routes, with four distinct arrival modes.Legacy Autopilot: Maintains a set heading without automatically compensating for external forces such as wind or currents.Speed control: Provides precise control over propulsion speed.Go to max speed: Allows quick acceleration to the motor’s maximum speed.

How do I pair the i-Pilot Bluetooth remote with the motor?

To pair the i-Pilot Bluetooth remote with your motor, follow these steps:

Power on your motor. The method varies by model:For Ultrex: Press the foot pedal power button.For Terrova and Riptide Terrova: Press the power button located at the base of the motor.For PowerDrive and Riptide PowerDrive: Deploy the motor.Once the motor is powered on, follow the specific pairing instructions in the manual. Successful pairing is typically confirmed by three long beeps.

How does the Spot-Lock function of the i-Pilot system work?

The Spot-Lock function of the i-Pilot system acts like an electronic anchor. It uses GPS technology to memorize a precise location and automatically keeps the boat in that position, even in the presence of wind or current. This allows anglers to remain stationary over a point of interest without having to use a physical anchor.

Is it necessary to calibrate the heading sensor and how is this calibration performed?

Yes, it is necessary to calibrate the heading sensor to ensure optimal operation of the i-Pilot system. Calibration must be performed on the water after the electric thruster and heading sensor have been installed, the sensor has been connected to a power source, and the sensor has been paired with the electric thruster control head.

For the calibration process, the boat must make two complete circles. It is recommended to plan accordingly and read all warnings in the owner’s manual before starting.

What is the Autopilot Legacy mode and what are its characteristics?

Autopilot Legacy mode is one of the two Autopilot modes available with the i-Pilot system. In this mode, the system maintains a user-defined heading. However, it does not account for external forces such as wind or lateral currents, which can cause the boat to drift laterally from its initial course.
