I finally got my Terrova with I-Pilot delivered this week. Went out and installed it tonight. Plugged it in..........nothing. Got out the voltage tester, four wires feeding plug. But they were both 12 volt instead of 24. I go back and look at batteries. They are wired single, for 12 volt. I just bought this boat last winter, and never checked that. It had a 24 volt trolling motor on it already, so I assumed it was wired correct. It was running off of 1 battery the whole time I've had it. I can't believe I never ran it out of battery. I wired it for 24 volts and all is good now. Moral........don't assume the guy that owned your boat before you did, knew what he was doing when installing electronics, or anything else. I'm just glad that was the only problem, since I have waited 3 weeks for the trolling motor to get to my house. The first one got lost during shipping!!
