Just bought the Terrova over the powerdrive, really glad I did. The White one is actually the same motor with just some extra seals. It's the same with all Minn kota motors, the Terrova as well.

Thanks for posting this! You're right. Most videos just show the motor down in the water on a boat. I wanted to see how to deploys and stows. Thanks!

I glad to help .

Just ordered one. 24, volt, 54 inch. I have the powerdrive. It's really hard to release. Almost bought the ulterra. They seem to have alot o issues with the auto stow and deploy. Can't wait to install it and use the spot lock anchoring feature. I fish for striped bass in areas where anchoring is dangerous and almost impossible. I also troll alot and this is going to give me the ability to set a course and do whatever i need to while the boat runs itself. Can't wait to get it.

I made the mistake of buying the powerdrive too. Hated how hard it was to deploy and stow. Luckily for me, it crapped out inside two weeks. Basspro took it back and fully refunded me. For an extra $200 or so I bought the terrova 12v 55lb. I’m much happier with it.

Great job

I LOVE my power drive! Mine isnt hard to release at all, maybe you just had one that made it out of the factory that wasnt built properly. Mine takes very little effort. To each his own. I'm not really a bass fisherman, I mainly fish crappie, walleye, catfish, perch, bluegill . I can record my paths and it will move me back and forth along that and adjusts speed according to wind/current. I can put in spots I have programmed and it will take me to that spot and follow my previous paths taken. Wether im spider rigging crappie, slow trolling muskie or walleye, or bottom dragging/drifting for big cats, you just cant beat it IMO. I love all the options, esp the anchor setting. It is phenomenal if your fishing small rivers with decent current, it holds up great. But I do agree with you on the sound, it's not the quietest I've had, but it's not terrible.

Hey Roscoe, I noticed in your comments that you're able to record tracks or paths from previous trips. What fish finder are you using to do this? I have a Lowrance hook 4, but I'd love to record some of my paths with if it's not to expensive to do. My Terrova 55 should arrive is a few days.

Good video. I’m in the same position deciding which one to buy for my small 14’ skiff. Any noticeable weight difference? I can’t find anything on it. You can also get the shaft cut down by an authorized dealer and it won’t void the warranty or it looks easy to do yourself.

My power drive kind of pushes the motor forward for deploy when you push down on the lever

Were you able to use some simple brazing rods and just heat them up to weld that mount on your boat or did you actually use a welder? I have a small bow at the front of my boat so trying to figure out if I might not have enough room.

I have a Hobart mig with a aluminum spool gun. It works great on thick aluminum

Had you ran that unit yet? How long does that 12 volt last? Thinking on the 24 volt to get more run time. We run planners for trolling for catfish and don’t really need to have wide open. Just needing to run under 1 mph. Thanks for any input and great gideo

@ACPro

Жыл бұрын

On this boat it will run all day . Not a problem. But if you have a big boat and 100% trolling maybe 24 v is better

I think that is the same boat as mine. Thank you for the ideas, I like how you ran your wires. I always thought that you had to put the motor as close to the point of the bow to make it track straight. how does it perform? how many batteries do you have and what thrust and length??
