Existing MK Riptide 80 has been beat to hell and now works at its own convenience, so thinking about replacing it with an iPilot motor/system.

Anyone have one, feedback?

Where's the best selection and knowledgeable staff in BR area?

Got ours from bass pro. Best invention ever. If you have the money go for it.

We got our iPilot from BP as well. I don't have a single complaint about it. It's much more useful than I expected. I would recommend it to anyone

Cool deal, I'm really considering it...


Is it as hard to stow/lower as the reviews say, or are those older reviews?

Pro tip: cruise a bank with your big motor on while watching for reds. When you find an area holding a big concentration of them hit record on your ipilot as you drive the boat along the bank atthe same rout le that you would troll. Stop after a couple hundred yards and hit the backtrack button on your ipilot remote. You can troll and fish without ever having to worry about controlling the trolling motor.

My buddy has the iPilot. It is awesome. I'm just waiting for my 10 year old Motorguide to shite the bed so I have an excuse to go buy a new iPilot.

I want one so bad. Might get my dad one for Christmas. Which means getting myself one for Christmas.

Some guys on here think a power pole is useless.

Is it hard to wire a transducer on them?

That's crazy talk. Having said that, if I had to choose between having a power pole and iPilot on my boat, I would go with iPilot.
