I’ve had a terrova with I-pilot link for several years.

I haven’t experienced the problem you describe. I have, however, had a few occasions where the spot lock starts making adjustments at full speed and wildly over correcting in every direction. So much so that I lose my balance, and have on occasion worried about being thrown from the boat.

I’ve found that unplugging the motor and/or restarting the Ethernet connected depth finder stops the issue.

But...

That raises another question, though. I see in their newer advertisements that they have a gen2 system (post 2017), which purports to have the most accurate spot lock ever, and they attribute that to updated hardware and software. I think when I check the website, the most recent software update for my unit was 2014. And, when I search for whether it’s possible to replace the I-pilot link module without replacing the whole trolling motor, I can’t find anything.

So, sorry if this hi-jacks the post, but does anyone know if older link units are upgradable and/or whether it’s possible to upgrade the I-pilot hardware within the unit without replacing the whole trolling motor, I’d be interested.
