smerchly Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 .....only $999.99 ......lol .....translation.....$1300.00 I have a few buds who have the auto pilots and they loved them . Even with a good breeze they will stay on course . There may be others who don't like them or had problems with them .......would like to hear what can go wrong with them . As time goes on , like most electronics , these will probably come down in price . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banker66 Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 I was fishing on Erie yesterday beside a guy with one. He loves his, I was busy on my electric staying close to him, he was busy fishing. He said once he got it he would never go back. totally worth the investment, he split the cost with his fishing buddy. He is the one over my shoulder..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdnvizsla Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 I love my Ipilot, though there are days I miss a foot pedal as well. They are worth the money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeks Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Well cdnvizsla, that means you have powerdrive v2 then, sell me your ipilot and buy the Terrova, then you will get both ipilot and foot pedal, just saying haha... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevy Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 I pilots are awesome. Really love the spot lock for perch fishing. Never have to pull up 100 feet of anchor rope again. Lol really it is a great investment . If you get on make sure its a longer shaft it helps when the lake is rough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoomie Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 I love mine, I set that spot lock and forget about it. It silently does it's job. Other boats around me are constantly maneuvering around in the wind and I just stay in one spot and fish. Cruise control also works very well, It adjust motor power to keep a steady speed regardless of the wind or current. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisher1 Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 I use it when trolling for salmon set the big motor an steer with the ipilot. Hands free to fish ,set lines , and land fish.Best thing I have bought for my boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
