Questions & Answers

My powerdrive 38 PD is compatible with this. Is this the right one for it?

The Copilot for 2017 Powerdrive motors is shown here. Here is a sample sentence from the manual Accessed February 17, 2019. COMPATIBLE WITH POWERDRIVE MOTORS MADE IN 2017 OR LATER. There is no compatibility with the PowerDrive V2 or Legacy PowerDrive motors with this remote. The name of the model on your serial number tag should always include "BT"*br>to ensure that the product is compatible. A remote controlled that does not use the "BT" ending is not compatible with this model. *2015 and 2016 vehicles don't have the R prefix on their serial numbers. It's impossible to upgrade items that have a serial number that starts with a letter in the alphabet before R. This applies to all devices manufactured before 2017.

Is it capable of functioning both momentarily and continuously?

There's no turning it off or on. A momentary pause is not needed.

Where can I find the batteries used in it?

My understanding is that CR2032 is a secure chip

I love using the Minn Kota trolling motor with this! You will not be disappointed
5/5

Two years ago I got a new Minn Kota Power Drive, and while it worked fine, the foot pedal control tended to be awkward, and small adjustments were difficult. the opportunity to go boating/fishing as much as I would like, and it took me half a day to get used to the foot pedal each time. A screwdriver was required for this wireless controller to be installed it took no more than 15 minutes. Right away, it worked like a charm. A handheld remote makes it much easier to control the direction and speed of the trolling motor. My only regret is that I didn't purchase this 2 years ago. It is much more enjoyable when fishing. Fits nicely in the center console of my 18' boat. The only issue I had was when a few passengers got in the way the motor would not respond. A step to my left fixed the problem. It is not yet possible to comment on the battery life of the remote, but I have used it on just one 4 day fishing trip without any issues. The foot pedal stays in the boat just in case and is not.

The advertised item is what you get
4/5

During the weekend I installed it on a Powerdrive 50. So far, everything has worked just fine in the driveway, but I haven't tried it on water yet. Taking only about 15 minutes for the installation. There is a new CoPilot accessory for the Powerdrive motors for 2017. On those motors that are older, a different type of plug will be installed.

I couldn't get it to The item did not work when it was received
3/5

In this case, the refund was approved. Send it by mail, it'll be delivered by the post office. We are still waiting for a refund one month later. Sometimes products do not work and I can understand that. We should have received the refund, but we didn't. My time would be wasted if I worked with them. A very disappointed person.

I like it very much! It's all good
5/5

It was the wrong one I ordered. It never occurred to me that this only applies to 2017 and up. The year I was born In place of Amazon, I found that there is a copilot version for Powerdrive versions older than 5. You can buy it for a cheaper price. Cabellas ended up being the best place to buy from. Amazon would have to match my price, so I would have to purchase from them! Oh my gosh. I believe I have given you this item (even though it is incorrect), but it is essentially the same as the previous one. As far as I am concerned, I have stopped using the foot pedal. I like it very much!.

Minnkota remains an excellent product, except that it doesn't steer, so I’m forced to repair or replace it right out of

The quality is the same as always with In addition to using this product and the flexibility it offers in terms of boat control, I use Powerdrive. Regardless of where I am on the boat, I can operate the trolling motor. On several occasions I have even brought the boat to me on the.
