Humminbird i-Pilot Link System - Powerdrive

i-Pilot® Link™ allows your Minn Kota® and Humminbird® to communicate with each other to change the way you fish. With Link, you can take command from the wireless remote or your Humminbird. And once you do, the possibilities are endless: lock onto spots, learn and retrace paths and depth contours, and more. All with the ultimate GPS fishing system.

Key Features

Control from the remote or your Humminbird fishfinder: Link turns your Humminbird into command central. Use it to control your motor, set and return to Spot-Locks and iTracks, waypoints, follow contours, and more. You can do just about everything from your Humminbird that you can do from your remote, so every function is at your fingertips, on the big screen.

Spot Lock: Keeps you on a fishing spot like an electronic anchor. Just choose your spot, and if you drift more than five feet away, i-Pilot will trigger your trolling motor to take you back automatically.  Use the "Go To” feature on the Link remote or your Humminbird to have your motor automatically navigate you to any Spot-Lock or waypoint you choose. Go To Spot-Lock and Go To Waypoint takes you right back to your best spots, and locks you in.

Storage when using i-Pilot Link with a Humminbird fishfinder: 2,500 Spot-Locks and Waypoints

Storage when using i-Pilot Link without a Humminbird fishfinder: 16 Spot-Locks and Waypoints

Routes: String multiple Spot-Locks and waypoints together to create a custom route that i-Pilot Link can automatically navigate in either direction.


Follow the contour & contour offsets: 

Follow the Contour - automatically fish along any depth contour you choose using a Humminbird LakeMaster Digital GPS map or AutoChart SD card.  Just pick a depth and Link will keep you on it - in either direction – for as long as you want.

Contour Offset - choose a depth contour or the shoreline, and how far away from it you want to be. Link navigates for you, keeping you that exact set distance away from your contour so you can cast to it.  (up to 300 ft.)   Note:  The Follow the Contour function of i-Pilot Link requires an i-Pilot Link enabled LakeMaster SD Card or a Humminbird AutoChart SD Card. Look for the i-Pilot Link logo on the packaging. 

iTracks: Trolling paths in the water (up to two miles long) that you can record, store and retrace any time, in either direction.

If you want to return to a stored iTrack,  use the Go To feature. Link tells your trolling motor to automatically take you to the closest waypoint of your selected track, then lets you retrace in either direction.

Go to: Return to any saved Spot-Locks, iTracks and Waypoints at the push of a button. Just select the spot or path you want to return to, and Go To will trigger your trolling motor to take you back to it automatically.

Back Track: Allows you to navigate the Current Track as a recorded iTrack. When BackTrack is elected, the i-Pilot Link will mark a Start Point at the boat’s current position, and it will create an iTrack on top of the Current Track and automatically retrace it.

CoPilot & Cruise Control: 

CoPilot - take wireless command of speed, steering and prop on/off from anywhere on the boat with the CoPilot™ functions.  

Cruise Control - precisely dial in and adjust your speed to create optimum bait presentation. Monitor your actual on-the-water speed on the LCD screen, then adjust it in 0.1 mile-per-hour increments.

Advanced Autopilot: Stay on any heading you choose with unparalleled GPS accuracy. Just set a heading by using your Humminbird cursor or pointing the motor head in the direction you want to travel. Then push a button, and Link will keep you on that heading automatically – while compensating for wind, waves, current and side drift.  

Heading can be adjusted at anytime for precision boat control.

Wireless Remote: Features an integrated, full-colour LCD screen to display your current function, user menus, GPS signal strength, prop status and battery state. Powered by a rechargeable battery, the remote is waterproof and it floats. The i-Pilot Link system can learn multiple remotes for added flexibility - including the new Micro Remote accessory.

2-Year Warranty: This product is backed up with Minn Kota’s two-year warranty.
