Location: Kodiak, AK | I went from CoPilot on a Terrova to iPilot on a Riptide. I went with iPilot only because the recent rebates were for iPilot models. I know more than one avid fishermen, and a couple guides that arne't fans of it either, and thus my initial reluctance in getting it. I'd not say I regret it by any means; it does have cool stuff on it. Just stuff I never use, and I still have to tweak it when it's running in AP, or on the few times I've got it running a trail. In my experience, in the wind AP is more of a zig-zag on the heading, rather than a tight, straight line on the heading. But it gets you there. That's why I say it's nice, but it'll never take the place of knowing boat control. But I could see where walleye guys or guys that fish distinct structure would really like it. |
