I just bought a replacement ipilot remote after the first one went out but I can't get the replacement to connect to a 101 terrova. I bought the one that cost $159.00. I'm wondering if I need to purchase another part, anyone else have this problem? Cant believe they didn't include any instructions I've emailed minnkota but they haven't responded.

You have to program the trolling motor to know what remote it is working with. The instructions come with the trolling motor. Sorry I can't find mine.

Re: Minnkota replacement remote

Well, I found the ipilot manual online and I think this is the section you're looking for:

Remote Learning
The i-Pilot remote is prelearned to the controller from the factory. The top of
the controller has a single learn button to allow additional remotes to be added
to the system. To learn additional remotes:
1. Power up the trolling motor.
2. Push and hold the learn button down. A steady audio tone will be heard
while holding this button.
3. While holding the learn button down push any button on the remote
being programmed. Three short chirps will be heard when the remote is
successfully learned.
A remote can only be learned to one controller at a time. A controller can have
an unlimited number of remotes learned to it

Ipilot manual

It's on page 33.
