i-Pilot Link
i-Pilot Link allows your Minn Kota trolling motor and Humminbird to communicate with each other to change the way you fish. i-Pilot Link
delivers a large array of GPS capabilities including controlling speed, steering, Spot-Lock, and the ability to record and retrace paths on
the water, all at your fingertips. To learn more about the GPS capabilities available with your i-Pilot Link navigation system, please refer to
the Owner’s Manual by visiting
.
The i-Pilot Link remote and controller make up the i-Pilot Link
navigation system. The i-Pilot Link remote comes paired to the
controller from the factory. The i-Pilot Link controller contains a
very sensitive compass and is where all GPS satellite and i-Pilot Link remote signals are received. The i-Pilot Link controller is
contained in the trolling motor Control Head and is connected to a fish finder from a connection cable that exits the Control Head.
NOTICE:
The i-Pilot Link system needs an external wired
connection. The i-Pilot system does not need an external
wired connection.
