I have the Ipilot option on my minn kota terrova. This is a wireless control with GPS that tracks steering. It can virtually steer itself over a 2 mile track.

once you use one of these motors you will never even consider a cable steer again.
The MK PowerDrive is compatible with the Co-Pilot wireless handheld remote, or the I-Pilot GPS Control (highly recommend BTW), but cannot "add on" the Auto Pilot system (included with I-Pilot though). IF you add the I-pilot however, you loose the foot pedal compatability...with the Co-pilot you can still use both.

I have the MK Terrova on our boat, with pre-installed I-Pilot (saved $150) and it's awesome! If you do any type of trolling (or "pulling" for the Crappie guys), it is definitely worth the money. I chose the Terrova though because with it you CAN have both the foot pedal and I-Pilot remote connected.

Let me know if you have any more questions. PM me or drop by BPS when I'm working. Hope this helps!

P.S.- Check out YouTube for MK I-Pilot videos and demos. You'll see what we're talking about as far as the performance goes
