    Default Terrova hitting trailer


    My terrova rover was mounted by the marina that I use but it hits the roller part of my trailer just about every time. I would appreciate any comments, solutions or pictures from anyone. Thanks

    Loading or unloading, mine does the same if I have the trailer too deep.

    Mine does it every time except on a non steep ramp.

    Buy a MKA-47 slide base for it. I can slide my RipTide back a good 6 inches when stowing it. Only thing mine hits is an occasional brush with a dock.

    Unloading I can't help you other than moving it, loading you can not put the trailer in as deep and use the motor to push it up, you will have to trim up on the motor before giving it a good shuv pushing the back of the boat down and raising the nose, takes a little practice but it is how I have to load 90% of the time.

    Thanks. I don't have any issues loading. Mine is unloading. I had heard of a fix and I think the MKA47 is what I had heard

    What MrDux said. Got one and it works good, no problem. Barnett landings were the main issue.

    I've been thinking of ordering one of these myself. How important do you all think it is that the trolling motor is mounted dead center of the boat. I could adjust the mounting position off about 6" of center and wouldn't have to buy the mount. This may be an option for the OP as well. However I can't get it out of my thick skull that it could cause a boat control issue of some degree. I'm a tad bit OCD when it comes to some things. LOL
    It is what it is!

    I mounted mine center only because it does not interfere with my spider rigs at all right there. I had one mounted off center and never noticed control problems.
