GLOSSARY
Accessory Connector: The accessory connector is a small sealed connector used on the Terrova and Riptide
ST family of motors. This connector allows for easy waterproof installation of any Minn Kota Terrova and
Riptide ST accessories.
Center Housing: A plastic center housing exists in the center of the trolling motor mount. This center housing
covers and protects mechanical and electrical components from the environment. The center housing is
temporarily removed from PowerDrive V2 and Riptide SP motors during i-Pilot Link installation.
CoPilot: Co-Pilot a wireless motor control accessory from Minn Kota available for all Terrova, PowerDrive V2,
Riptide ST and Riptide SP lines of motors. The accessory allows for wireless adjustment of all basic motor control
functions. The Co-Pilot accessory must be removed from a PowerDrive V2 and Riptide SP motor upon i-Pilot Link
installation. Any Co-Pilot accessory installed on a Terrova or Riptide ST motor is electrically disabled once i-Pilot
Link is installed.
Control Box Cover: The control box cover is a plastic cover installed on the top head of the motor. The cover
protects the inner wiring and electronics from the environment. This part is replaced by the i-Pilot Link controller.
GPS: GPS is an acronym for Global Positioning System. GPS provides accurate position (latitude, longitude,
altitude) information virtually anywhere on the earth through satellite technology and personal receivers on
the ground. A series of geosynchronous satellites broadcast a unique signal toward the earth once per second.
A GPS receiver, which is used in i-Pilot Link, receives the signals from these satellites and is able to determine
position based on very slight differences in the time each signal is received and the receiver’s knowledge of the
location of each of the satellites.
GPS Speed: The speed calculated by measuring the boat’s change in geographical location over a given time using
GPS data.
i-Pilot Link Controller: The i-Pilot Link controller is part of the i-Pilot Link system. The controller contains a GPS
receiver, compass and electronics to automatically navigate the trolling motor. The controller resembles a motor
control box cover and is completely sealed and waterproof. The controller replaces the existing control box cover
and AutoPilot controller if one is present.
