I have been asked about the i-pilot on my terrova. I absolutely love it. Here is are some of the features that I use as a musky fisherman.

I use the record a trail route sometimes when I am fishing a secluded structure and route my trail. I could take a nap in the bottom of the boat while the boat runs around this trail.

I also will run the boat from the back sometimes with just my remote this is a handy feature if I want to have a guest in the front of the boat or if I just want to sit down for awhile.

It has cruise control. I can set the boat to run at a certain speed and not have to worry about speed control.

The spot lock is huge. When fishing in a strong wind or an area around rocks I will hit my spot lock when I catch a fish. After CPRing the fish I can continue on my route without having to reposition. A few years ago I saw some guys fishing my favorite spot on a lake and it was windy. By the time they got done fiddling around with the fish and putting hooks on etc.. they were almost 150-200 yards away from the area. I took my friend up to the area and we boated two fish. Had they had the spotlock feature they wouldn't have gotten so far off course. (on a busy weekend if you snooze you lose I thought)

The ipilot feature is amazing with the terrova.
