Minn Kota Corded Foot Pedal Terrova & Riptide Terrova 2017+
Minn Kota Corded Foot Pedal Terrova & Riptide Terrova 2017+ — Product description
The Minn Kota corded foot pedal for Terrova and Riptide Terrova bow-mount trolling motors built in 2017 or later. Low-profile waterproof design with two steering options (heel/toe pedal plus left/right buttons), one-touch Spot-Lock and AutoPilot toggles with LED indicators, momentary / constant on toggle, rotary speed dial, and the 18-foot cable with waterproof connector plug. Plug-and-play with Terrova and Riptide Terrova, fully compatible with CoPilot, i-Pilot, i-Pilot Link, and modern GPS navigation systems.
The Minn Kota corded foot pedal (part 1866077) is the OEM low-profile foot pedal for Terrova and Riptide Terrova bow-mount trolling motors built model year 2017 and after. Two steering options in one pedal (heel/toe rocking action plus left/right steering buttons), Spot-Lock activation built into the pedal, AutoPilot toggle built into the pedal, momentary / constant toggle built into the pedal, a rotary speed dial built into the pedal, and the 18-foot cable with waterproof connector plug for cable runs from the bow deck down to the trolling motor mount. The pedal that lets you stay focused on the fish while controlling the boat completely with your foot.
Two steering modes in one pedal. Traditional heel/toe rocking gives the analog feel anglers grew up with: rock forward to point the bow forward, rock aft to point the bow back, lean left or right to steer that direction. Left / right steering buttons add precision-tap control for situations where the heel/toe rocker is too coarse or where you want to bump the heading by a few degrees without rocking the whole pedal. You don't pick one or the other at install. Both modes are live at all times. Use whichever fits the moment.
Spot-Lock activation built into the pedal. The dedicated Spot-Lock button with LED indicator drops a GPS waypoint and locks the boat to that exact position. The trolling motor handles all the corrections automatically: thrust forward, thrust back, steer left, steer right to fight wind and current and hold the boat over the spot. One-touch on the foot pedal means you can drop Spot-Lock the instant you feel a fish or see structure on the sonar without taking either hand off the rod. Press it again to release.
AutoPilot toggle built into the pedal. The AutoPilot button with LED indicator turns on heading-hold mode: the trolling motor maintains the heading you set regardless of wind side-load. Toggle it on for a long structure run, toggle it off when you want to steer manually again. The LED indicator confirms which mode you're in at a glance.
Momentary / Constant ON toggle. The momentary button gives you short prop bursts only while you hold the button (great for shallow-water hopping over stumps or for short repositioning bumps without changing the speed setting). Constant ON keeps the prop running continuously at the dial-set speed. The toggle puts both modes a foot-tap away.
Rotary speed dial right on the pedal. Spin the dial up for more speed, spin it down for less. No reaching for the head unit, no fumbling with a remote, just a thumb of the foot to roll the dial as conditions change. Combined with the constant / momentary toggle, you get full speed control from the deck.
Low-profile design that doesn't snag. Older trolling motor foot pedals were tall blocks that grabbed line, snagged boots, and got knocked around. The 1866077 is a low-profile design with the controls integrated into the deck-mounted base. Lower kick-over risk, less snag, easier deck cleanup. Anglers running rod tubes and lots of deck rigging especially appreciate the low profile.
Waterproof construction. Sealed against rain, spray, splash, and standing water on the deck. The waterproof connector plug at the end of the 18-foot cable makes the same waterproof seal at the trolling motor connection. Saltwater spray, rain shower, freshwater splash, the pedal keeps working.
18-foot cable for clean routing. The 18-foot length covers the cable run from a typical bow deck pedal location down through the deck, around the bow mount footing, and to the trolling motor's pedal connection. The waterproof connector at the trolling motor end is the locking style that resists vibration disconnect during rough-water running.
Plug-and-play with Terrova and Riptide Terrova. No wiring, no programming, no setup. Plug the connector into the trolling motor's pedal port, mount the pedal to the deck, you're fishing. The OEM-correct connector means the pedal communicates fully with the trolling motor including all the integrated features (Spot-Lock, AutoPilot, momentary, constant, speed control).
Works with CoPilot, i-Pilot, i-Pilot Link, and modern GPS navigation systems. The corded foot pedal isn't an alternative to the wireless remotes (you can run both at once). Drop Spot-Lock from the pedal, set a route from the i-Pilot Link, follow contours from the chartplotter, and the trolling motor responds to all of them. The pedal is the always-there backup that doesn't need batteries and doesn't drop signal.
What this pedal isn't. It's not a wireless remote (it's the corded foot pedal). It's not for older Terrova motors built before 2017 (the connector and protocol changed in 2017, you need the older-style pedal for those motors). It's not for Ulterra, Ultrex, Edge, PowerDrive, or other Minn Kota platforms (those use different pedals or wireless remote controls only). It's not for Riptide ST, Riptide SP, or Riptide Powerdrive (those are different motor lines). For Terrova and Riptide Terrova built 2017 and after, this is the OEM corded foot pedal.
Common upgrade path. Anglers replacing a worn-out OE pedal that came with their 2017+ Terrova or Riptide Terrova drop in this 1866077 directly. Anglers who bought a used 2017+ Terrova / Riptide Terrova that came without a pedal install this 1866077 to add full foot-control capability. Anglers who want a pedal in addition to their wireless remote add this 1866077 for the always-on backup.

Frequently asked questions
Will this fit my Terrova?
It fits Terrova and Riptide Terrova trolling motors built model year 2017 and after. The connector and motor-pedal protocol changed in the 2017 generation, so this pedal does NOT fit pre-2017 Terrovas. If you don't know your motor's year, look at the model decal on the side of the motor head or at the original purchase receipt. The OEM pre-2017 corded pedal is a different part number.
Is this a wireless remote?
No, this is a corded foot pedal. It connects to the trolling motor via the included 18-foot cable and the waterproof connector plug. The corded design is what makes it always-on (no batteries to die, no signal to drop). For wireless remote control, see the Minn Kota i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link remotes.
Can I use this AND my i-Pilot wireless remote?
Yes. The corded foot pedal and the wireless remote both work at the same time. You can drop Spot-Lock from the foot pedal, set a route from the i-Pilot Link remote, and follow a contour from your chartplotter all on the same trip. The trolling motor accepts commands from any of the connected control inputs.
How does the heel/toe steering work?
Rock the pedal forward (toes down) to point the trolling motor forward, rock the pedal back (heel down) to point the motor back, lean the pedal left or right to steer that direction. It's the analog rocking action that traditional foot pedals have used for decades. The added left / right steering buttons let you bump the heading by smaller increments without rocking the whole pedal.
What does Spot-Lock do?
Spot-Lock drops a GPS waypoint at your current position and uses the trolling motor's GPS-corrected thrust and steering to hold the boat on that exact spot regardless of wind and current. Press the button again to release. Activation is one-touch from the foot pedal so you can drop it the instant you feel a fish or see structure on the sonar without taking your hands off the rod.
What does AutoPilot do?
AutoPilot is heading-hold mode. Set a heading, tap the AutoPilot button, and the trolling motor maintains that heading regardless of wind side-load. Tap the button again to disengage and steer manually again. The LED indicator confirms which mode you're in at a glance.
What does momentary vs. constant ON mean?
Momentary ON runs the prop only while you press and hold the momentary button. The instant you release the button, the prop stops. Great for short bursts (hopping over a stump in shallow water, repositioning a few feet without changing the speed setting). Constant ON runs the prop continuously at the dial-set speed until you turn it off again.
How long is the cable?
18 feet, with a waterproof locking connector at the trolling motor end. The 18-foot length covers a typical cable run from a bow deck pedal location down through the deck, around the bow mount footing, and to the trolling motor's pedal port.
Is it waterproof?
Yes. The pedal housing, the cable, and the connector plug are all sealed against rain, spray, splash, and standing water on the deck. Saltwater spray won't kill it. Standing rain won't kill it. The waterproof construction is OEM-grade for the Minn Kota Terrova platform.
Will this work with my Ulterra / Ultrex / Edge / PowerDrive?
No. This pedal is specifically for Terrova and Riptide Terrova. Ulterra and Ultrex have different control architectures. Edge and PowerDrive use different pedals or wireless remote controls. Each Minn Kota platform has its OEM-specific pedal. For your motor's correct pedal, check the Minn Kota parts catalog or ask us with your motor's model and year.
How do I install it?
Plug the cable's waterproof connector into the trolling motor's pedal port (it's the same port the OE pedal that came with the motor uses). Mount the pedal to the deck in your preferred position using the screws and the mounting hardware that come with the pedal. There's no wiring to splice, no programming step, no Bluetooth pairing. Total install time is typically 10 minutes.
What if I just bought a used Terrova that didn't come with a pedal?
This is the right pedal for that situation as long as the motor is model year 2017 or after. Check the model decal on the motor head for the model year. If the motor is 2017+, the 1866077 plugs in and works. If the motor is pre-2017, you need the older-generation OEM pedal (different part number).
What's the warranty?
2-year limited Minn Kota warranty. Service runs through the Minn Kota authorized dealer network in the U.S.
