FAQS

What’s in the box?

Minn Kota 1866560 i-Pilot Micro Remote for i-Pilot and i-Pilot Link – Bluetooth Systems

Will this work with the Minn Kota Terrova?

Yes it will

Can this be paired on more than one boat?

Yes Pairing is done at the head unit end not the remote. Wouldn’t recommend using when both boats are in range of rack other though.

Does anyone know if this will do the “jog” feature when you’re in “anchor” mode?

Believe you can. Just like you do with the remote that come with the Ultex, by hitting one of the directional arrows while you are in spot lock……

Does this work with the ulterra model ?

Yes

Does this work with the ultrex?

Yes it should. As long it’s bluetooth enabled.

Will this remote float?

Don’t know for sure but it’s pretty light and guessing it will. Keep mine on a lanyard around my neck. Same for Power pole controller. Store it all in a have size tackle tray along with spare batteries.

Is this compatiblw with the ultrxx trolling motor?

This remote is compatible with any iPilot and iPilot Link unit that is Bluetooth enabled – https://minnkotamotors.johnsonoutdoors.com/accessories/trolling-motor/micro-remote-bluetooth – So it should be compatible with the Ulterra. Refer to manufacturers website to verify. Works great with my Riptide Terrova that is GPS and Bluetooth. 

Well this work with my V2?

Yes it does

Will this remote work with this trolling motor-minn kota 1358790 powerdrive 45_bt bowmount trolling motor with bluetooth?

My trolling motor is a prowerdrive 70 with Bluetooth,it works on mine

Does this remote need a charging cable and does it come with one if so?

No, no charging required. Operates off a battery, lasted me 2 years before replacing. Batteries are readily available.

What about stow and deploy? Does this remote work with that feature?

No. must use the remote that came with the Ulterra to deploy and stow

Does the remote work with a Turbo Pro 824?

This remote is for a blue tooth equipped trolling motor with i-Pilot fitted, due to the age of the 824 I very much doubt it has blue tooth or the i-Pilot fitted or be upgraded to take it.

Since this unit is so simple, no LED, what is the pairing method from the remote to the motor?

While holding down the pair button on the top of the motor hold the two buttons at the same time at the top of the remote the rabbit and the N with the arrow. It will beep three times when it is paired.
