I added iPilot to my Terrova in 2013 and used it for three full seasons on one watch battery. It was easy to notice that the battery started going dry because it wouldn't send any signal once I got up from the driver's seat and went even one step to the back.
In November I pulled out the watch battery and this past April I purchased a new one at Interstate Batteries.
However, ever since, I've had the LCD display go completely blank and wouldn't come back alive unless I slapped it against my other hand, or pant leg. The signal strength, when it shows up, is full. There are some days that it will stop communicating 6-7 times while on the water. This past weekend I believe it only happened twice, so I'll call that a good day for the remote.
When finished fishing the remote goes in the cubby and the boat is housed in the garage, so weathering and stuff like that aren't a problem.
Has anyone else encountered problems with their iPilot remote working property?
