Minn Kota CoPilot System f/PowerDrive V2 - Wireless
Minn Kota CoPilot System f/PowerDrive V2 - Wireless Product Description
Unlock Hands-Free Freedom on the Water
Picture this: you're in the thick of a bass bite, line in the water, and need to make a quick adjustment to your trolling motor without fumbling for the foot pedal. That's where the wireless CoPilot system shines for your PowerDrive V2 bow-mount trolling motor. This clever upgrade lets you steer left or right, dial in speed adjustments, and toggle the prop on or off—all from a compact key-fob remote clipped to your belt, wrist, or lanyard around your neck. No more awkward stretches or divided attention; stay locked on your target while keeping precise control over your boat's positioning.
Key Advantages for Serious Anglers
- Effortless Plug-and-Play Setup: The receiver snaps right onto the right side plate of your trolling motor mount, connecting seamlessly without tools or complicated wiring.
- Seamless Pedal Integration: Switch effortlessly between the remote and your existing corded foot pedal using the included plug—best of both worlds for different fishing styles.
- Multi-Remote Flexibility: Program the system to recognize several remotes or wireless pedals, perfect for team fishing trips or sharing with buddies on the boat.
- Rugged Reliability: Built to handle the demands of daily outings, with a solid one-year warranty backing its performance.
How the CoPilot Transforms Your Trolling Experience
Designed specifically for legacy PowerDrive V2 models (those made in 2016 or earlier), this system integrates like it was always meant to be there. The key-fob remote feels intuitive from the first use—simple buttons for steering, speed, and power keep your focus on the fish, not the motor. Whether you're drifting a jig along a weedline or holding position over a deep-water hump, the responsive controls give you confidence to maneuver in tight spots. Anglers report fewer tangles and quicker repositions, turning potential misses into hooksets.
Quick Setup Tips for Peak Performance
- Mount the receiver on the trolling motor's right side plate—it's a secure fit that withstands vibration and splashes.
- Pair the remote by following the straightforward programming sequence; it "learns" up to 10 devices for expanded use.
- Test in open water: Practice steering sweeps and speed ramps to dial in your comfort level before hitting prime spots.
- Store the remote on its included lanyard to keep it handy and secure during casts or net jobs.
Pro tip: Pair it with i-Pilot Link features if your setup allows, for even smarter spot-locking and route-following that complements the manual remote control.
Everything You Need, Right Out of the Box
- One durable CoPilot receiver for easy mounting.
- One ergonomic key-fob remote with neck lanyard for instant access.
- Plug adapter for hybrid foot pedal and remote operation.
This complete kit ensures you're up and running in minutes, minimizing downtime and maximizing time on the water.
Real-World Wins for Kayak, Bass Boat, and Multi-Species Fishing
From kayak anglers needing stealthy positioning in skinny water to bass boat captains managing tournament pressure, the CoPilot delivers. It excels in windy conditions where holding angles is tough, or when sight-fishing requires split-second repositions. Users love how it frees up deck space—no bulky cords tripping you up—and its wireless range keeps you effective from bow to stern. Enhance your setup's versatility without replacing your trusted PowerDrive V2.
