Minn Kota Terrova IPilot problems

Post by Rodster14 » Wed Aug 02, 2017 10:59 am

Has anyone else had difficulty with this product? Mine is freezing up and get stuck on the speed of 8 and won't turn right or left. Once it did that and would only go in circles. It looks like I'm gonna have to remove the trolling motor, take it in for service. It is only six months old. From what I see online, it seems like this is a recurring problem.

Have you checked your TM batteries are good and that you remote battery is fully charged? Have you updated the software on the TM? I'd check those things first to see if it's really the TM that's faulty. They do weird things if they don't have enough juice.

Tim,
I've tried the app and my phone never finds the Minn Kota. Any ideas?

Downloaded software update and it appears to be working again.
