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 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 installation. Any Co-Pilot
accessory installed on a Terrova or Riptide ST motor is electrically disabled
once i-Pilot 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 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, 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 Controller: The i-Pilot controller is part of the i-Pilot system. The
controller contains a GPS receiver, compass and electronics to automatically
navigate the trolling motor. The controller resembles a motor control box
