This Is is an addition to my main remote and works perfectly. If you are a serious fisherman you must have an I-pilot!

The i-Pilot is a wonderful technology upgrade for Minnkota's trolling motors. It offers many advantages for the serious fisherman. It has only one drawback, that being battery life. The remote's CR2450 internal battery lasts only 65-75 hours because of the continuous communication between controller and remote. Once the remote loses battery power, the trolling motor is dead. No steering or motor power unless you've purchased the optional foot control. Changing the battery requires disassembling the remote, and that means six screws and juggling parts -- not so easy if the water is rough. This has happened to me twice in the first season (last year). A second remote, learned to the controller, is the perfect solution.

So four stars because the unit should be rechargeable.
