Remote Holder fits Minn Kota iPilot Bluetooth trolling Motor Remote (carbon fiber-infused PETG)

What buyers think

Buyer-review evidence is limited in quantity but consistently positive. The most repeated themes are that it fits well, holds the remote securely, and works as described for day-to-day use on the water. Several buyers also mention setup ease, including how they integrated it into a larger mounting setup (for example, adding it to an aftermarket mount).

What this holder is, and why it matters

A dedicated remote holder can be more than a convenience accessory. If you frequently run your Minn Kota iPilot system, having the Bluetooth remote stored in the same place every time reduces fumbling, and it helps you keep the remote accessible without laying it on a deck where it can get knocked around.

This holder is designed to let the remote stay in place, while still enabling operation from within the holder. That “stored but usable” approach is a big part of the product’s value, especially when you want quick control changes without removing the remote.

Fit and compatibility

This accessory is made to fit Minn Kota Bluetooth iPilot remotes (it is not positioned as a universal remote cradle). If your remote matches that form factor, the design is intended to provide a snug, secure hold. Buyers also describe it as fitting perfectly, reinforcing that the design targets the specific remote shape rather than relying on adjustable cradles.

Materials and build quality

The holder is made from carbon fiber-infused PETG-CF. In practical terms, PETG-CF is chosen for a balance of stiffness and toughness that’s suitable for accessories exposed to marine conditions. Since the design is 3D-printed, expect it to be an accessory component rather than machined metal hardware, but buyer feedback indicates the function matches the intended use.

How it mounts and how you’ll use it on the water

There are two mounting approaches:

• Mounting holes: The holder includes holes for mounting.
• Adhesive mounting: It can also be attached with 3M tape (3M tape is not included).

Functionally, the key detail is the slide-in storage. The remote can be moved into the holder for secure storage, then operated while in place, which helps keep control at your fingertips.

Pros and cons (in plain language)

Pros you can count on

• Designed for a specific remote: Less guesswork than universal holders.
• Secure storage: Repeated mentions of the remote being held securely.
• Quick access: Sliding design supports fast placement and retrieval.
• Usable while installed: You can operate the remote while it stays in the holder.

Tradeoffs to consider

• Plan your mounting hardware: The holder includes holes, but screws are not stated as included.
• Adhesive needs sourcing: 3M tape is an option, but tape is not included.
• It’s not the remote: You’re buying the holder only.

Who should buy this holder?

• You own a Minn Kota Bluetooth iPilot remote and want a dedicated cradle instead of ad hoc storage.
• You prefer a setup where the remote stays mounted and accessible, not tossed in a bag or cup holder.
• You want an accessory that supports quick sliding access, while also allowing operation while stored.

Who should skip it or compare alternatives?

• You need a universal remote holder for multiple brands or models.
• You don’t want to source mounting hardware or adhesive tape, because the product includes the holder only.
• You’d rather have a fully adjustable cradle that can accommodate variations in fit, rather than a purpose-built design.

Price and availability

The listing price is positioned as an affordable accessory relative to typical marine electronics spend, and it’s currently shown as available. If you’re budgeting for remote storage, this approach can be a cost-effective way to improve daily usability, especially if you already have the compatible Minn Kota Bluetooth remote.

Verdict

If you’re using a Minn Kota Bluetooth iPilot remote and want it stored securely but still ready to operate, this purpose-built holder is an easy add-on to a fishing setup. The consistent buyer feedback centers on fit and secure holding, and the biggest practical consideration is simply that you’re purchasing the holder only and will need to provide your preferred mounting hardware or adhesive.
