As mentioned, I-pilot is a stand-alone function of select Minn Kota motors. They do not need to be connected to a fish finder to operate I-pilot functions. If the motor has US2 sonar built in, you can hook up a fishfinder using a US2 adapter cable to read 2D sonar and depth. I-pilot includes popular functions like spot-lock, cruise control, and all steering and speed functions, just to name a few.

As for I-pilot Link, this motor will network with a Humminbird unit and allow you access to all I-pilot commands, plus the ability to set a number of navigational commands relating to the information supplied by your LakeMaster chip.
