MINN KOTA AUTOPILOT | ADVANCED MODE OR LEGACY???

[@chazzzj1]

You are the first I’ve seen to actually show a very visible close up of your screen. What a big help to a new I pilot user. Many thanks!

[@4wheelliving132]

What your motor was doing in the garage is exactly what mine does on the water, it moves all over the place. Can't wait to try the legacy mode on the water. Great video

[@jamiesypula5500]

Hell yeah… First time in my boat last night, thought I was losing my mind. Been using an old auto pilot for a decade, hit auto pilot last night and it did just that motor went nuts and I’m drifting backwards in a river trying to hold a track. Thank God and thank you… I watched this video before I got back on the River today.

[@bluegrassstateofmind4542]

Glad it helped

[@egorone0408]

Very useful information. Very good presentation.

[@JungleJimAB9AB]

Man, did I enjoy the way you explain using your iPilot troll motor programs and how it works. Yes, I did. I appreciate your knowledge and the effort you made to post this video. You've helped me better understand this feature, which I never used because I didn't get into the program. Please make more of these videos about how to use this troll motor's other features. Thanks again.

[@baffinplugger]

Excellent video. I learned a lot and appreciate you taking the time to explain the two modes. The information about ensuring that you have the trolling motor powered on when selecting the auto pilot mode was particularly helpful. 👍

[@flatpicker75]

Wish I would have seen this last year. Learned about the two modes the hard way pulling 6-8 lines 1.6 MPH while crankbaiting for crappie. Advanced is decent on a calm day but a strong crosswind would make a mess. Switched to legacy and it's night and day better.

[@bluegrassstateofmind4542]

You would think there would be more infor from minn kota.

[@jackmanjls]

You gave an excellent comparison of the 2 modes. I think I'm convinced for my type of fishing that legacy is the correct mode.

[@meadrenalinejunkie]

thank you soooo sooo much for posting this. My friend has an older Terrova with no BT and I just bought the new one and we couldn't get it to keep working good while trolling for salmon. This definitely fixs my issue. Thanks!

[@charleshuffstutler1937]

Thanks so much for this. I nearly returned my motor I was getting so frustrated. I had an old I-Pilot Riptide and it held course like a champ. Could not figure out for the world what was going on with this one. Now I know! Thanks again and catch 'em up!

[@bluegrassstateofmind4542]

Thanks for watching!! You would think Minn Kota would do a little better about explaining this.

[@tomaeschleman9622]

Excellent video. I just replaced my old '04 Auto-Pilot with a new i-Pilot w/remote....unfortunately Minnkota doesn't give you very good explanations of the remote control "in the box". Heading to our annual Minnesota fishing trip in 10 day and now I at least know to get it into "legacy mode" and how to do it. We do a lot of "long line" trolling. You can't believe how glad I am I found your video. Thank You!!!!

[@bluegrassstateofmind4542]

Spot lock needs something to work against like wind or current. You can spot lock on still water but your boat will likely spin in circles. Anything in particular you wanna see?

[@WeekendPursuitOutdoors]

I cant wait to get home and check this because my motor acts like its in advanced mode and Im always fighting it while dragging baits!

It comes in advanced by default. I would say thats your issue. Thanks for watching

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I just got my Terrova installed and have a question, can the foot pedal be removed and operated with only the remote?

[@bluegrassstateofmind4542]

Absolutely

[@62gipper]

I saw a KZbin video that showed the problem using Advanced Mode vs Legacy mode is the AM depends on a connection to a satellite and the LM is using direction NOT from a satellite. So since you're boat is in your garage for the demo (like it would be under a bridge in a lake), the the AM has trouble connecting to the Satellite if it can connect at all. For example, using spot lock in AM under a bridge (or your garage) it doesn't know exactly where the boat is. So it's constantly moving/searching. Does that make sense?

[@bluegrassstateofmind4542]

That very well could be true as well. This biggest difference though is how the boat react when it loses its line in the 2 different modes

[@62gipper]

@@bluegrassstateofmind4542 I agree completely. It definitely depends on the situation and I bet thats why the engineers at Minn Kota left both in the box. Thanks for your video and your response.

[@chadschafer1723]

Its funny because one of the reasons I upgraded to the new one was the advanced mode.

[@bluegrassstateofmind4542]

It may have its applications, but I dont like it

[@mikechamberlain5672]

To clarify, I have a 2020 Riptide Ulterra, 112#, 36V. When I use Spot Lock on Advanced mode, the TM head constantly adjusts left and right, especially in calmer conditions with little current. Yes it holds well but the constant 25-90 degree head rotation is irritating and seemingly unnecessary. If I switch to Legacy mode and use Spot Lock---will all of this head rotation and adjusting stop? I'm talking Spot Lock only. Thank You.

[@bluegrassstateofmind4542]

We noticed the biggest difference with itracks but it would be easy enough to try. Spotlock is tough in still conditions in general though

[@chriskinard5018]

Great information. We always hear to use legacy mode. But what applications is advanced mode used in?

[@bluegrassstateofmind4542]

Honestly, I dont know. I just know its not good for what I do

[@assmsn]

Keep making videos that makes it a little bit simpler I got a brand new one haven't even hit the water yet and I'm still playing with the remote trying to figure out where I how it works so it's a different ball game when you're playing with something like this it's not a regular trolling motor

[@Gssmallenginerepair]

Do you know what the default setting is with the micro remote? I’m looking to upgrade my powerdrive to I pilot but I really don’t want that big remote, because I lose the foot pedal with the upgrade. Thx

[@bluegrassstateofmind4542]

Honestly Im not sure. Ours was defailted to advanced and will sometimes default back. I would try to get that big remote if possible. Even if you have to pay up to get the foot pedal. The big remote opens up alot of options the best I can tell

I'm guessing this is for Terrovas only? I have 2016-17 Ulterra w/out Link. My remote looks similar to yours but doesn't have "home" button like yours? Instructions does say I have Advanced AutoPilot AND AutoPilot, to engage Advanced AP press button once, to engage only AP press and hold button for 2 seconds? Do you think this is "legacy" mode? Thanks

[@bluegrassstateofmind4542]

Im really not sure on that one, i would imagine all ipilots would be the same unless your is a different version year wise. We bought ours last year

[@chasewagner6554]

Do I need a heading sensor to use auto pilot????

No, just for spotlock jog

Advanced I find uses more battery juice to keep correcting the course. Eh legacy works just fine
