Power drive co pilot -I pilot

[Davy Crockett]

My boat came with Power drive co pilot and has a transducer on the bottom and a button on the top for of the head for I-Pilot .It also has an extra plug that must be for foot control and/or the transducer. It has these style remotes but from what I was reading it should also have spot lock. Is it as simple as getting new remote or what the heck do I have going on here here ? I'm lost , I haven't stayed in the loop for electronics.

Co pilot does not have spot lock.

I thought I read that with the I-pilot upgrade it was supposed to .

I don't know what I'm talking about but from what I read online with the I-pilot upgrade I should have these style of remotes .

If you have I-Pilot you should have spot lock. Is the co-pilot plugged into your trolling motor? Mounted on the side of it If I can remember right. You might just have the wrong remote ya.

On top of the head is a button to push for autopilot , also the 6 or 7 pin extra plug I'm wondering about.

Spotlock is built in if you have the button on top. You can't activate spotlock with that button - it's the remote pairing button.

A paired spotlock-capable remote like you showed will Spotlock it.

But also, some foot controls have the spotlock button (Anchor emblem).

Do you have the foot control?

Nope, no foot control , I think the kids may have stripped some stuff off before I bought it from their dad.

Scratch that - that's a remote pairing button - not a spotlock pairing button on top.

So, unfortunately, you probably don't have spotloc on that motor if those were original remotes.
