OldestCityLocal Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Going to be upgrading my trolling motor as mine has just blown up. Looking into getting a I pilot or a co pilot minn Kota. Either the 70 lb or the 80lb but don't know if the extra 3-400$ is worth it. And the auto stow and deploy is outta my price range looking at 1000-1700$. Thanks local guy here in Saint Augustine says he can get a riptide terrova 80lb I pilot 54" for about 1500$. Good deal or pass? Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryH Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Consider digging deep or saving for the Ulterra. The auto deploy/sto/trim alone is worth the price of admission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubble Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 Larry, are you using an Hbird with your Ulterra iPilot Link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linesider 159 Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 I'm supposed to be buying a boat tomorrow with an 80 copilot. If I do, I will be selling it if you are interested since I already have an ipilot in my garage. IMO the only advantage of an ipilot is spotlock, the navigation feature on the copilot and ipilot is why I have a remote trolling motor. Ipilot link to me is useless. Ulterra is nice but just more to break. I may order one and then have my regular ipilot as a spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldestCityLocal Posted November 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 Does I pilot work with garmin. From what I've been researching it only works with hummingbird correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All new to me. Mine is latest gen with the Bluetooth puck. Honestly I wanted it for the deploy-sto-trim-steer feature. Everything else it does will be lagniappe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
