Description
Minn Kota changed fishing permanently with the introduction of the original i-Pilot GPS-based trolling system. Anywhere there is water, anglers can use i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link systems for easier boat control and positioning, so they can focus their attention on bait presentation and catching fish.
At this year’s ICAST, Minn Kota unveils innovative enhancements to i-Pilot and i-Pilot Link systems, including all-new remotes and the most accurate Spot-Lock ever, making them even more powerful and versatile.
- Remote: Compact design with larger full-color touchscreen LCD
