I-Pilot question

While I was using it my I-Pilot remote went blank. Press any button and all the remote icons come on for about two to three seconds. My remote does not have an icon for the remote battery, even though the book says it does. This happened twice and each time after two to three minutes the remote returned to normal. I thought it was the automatic circuit breakers popping and resetting. It happened a third time and it never reset. I went out the next morning and it worked fine. I did not have any time to use it more as I was pulling it for the year. Anybody have any ideas?

Ya Change remote battery, all though mine has been used for 3 seasons and have not changed it yet. You could also try unplugging the motor for a few seconds that might reset it also. Or there was no power to the troller, When there is no power the remote will act the same as yours did. Be carful and keep on fishing.

Was the motor running while remote was acting up or did the motor stop too?

The motor stopped also.

Dont forget to look at the power to the motor. I had same symptoms on a 24v system when my batteries were not charging.

1. is charger working

2. are all connections good and clean

3. Are you running the Terrova on high speed? Higher amp breakers (60a) are needed for some of them. 50a was common in most boats but will trip on med-high speeds.

4. Water levels good on battery

Just a few more things to look at besides remote battery.

I thought it was the breakers (they are automatic reset) because in a couple minutes it would be fine. The last time it quit it did not reset til overnight, fine in the morning.
